Looks killer, man! I'm itchin for the CPO and maybe oversizing a bit for layering. Recently got the 235-blk in a XL, but definitely a bit snug for a hoodie under. How do you go about sizing the shirts? They seem pretty narrow in the shoulder for me.

Nowadays usually wear a XXL or XXXL depending on how I want to wear it. For this one, I went with XXXL so I can layer over UHFs in the colder months. I totally could fit into a XXL if I wanted a more fitted look. With this 16oz I figured it would be better to go bigger on account of its heaviness and I'm glad I did. I can still wear it with just a tshirt as in the photo I posted.
These days, I like wearing my shirts and pants on the larger side (sized up). With shirts I used to size down to even XL but at the end of the day, I now go for comfort rather than form fitting denim. I like to have room to layer and move around.

@Oaktavia I appreciate the rationale. Due to the extra weight of this one I think the CPO would work well as an overshirt/jacket, seeing as I already have a black shirt in serge that's more form-fitting. Getting super pumped for this SBG in a CPO
-
@WhiskeySandwich no problem man, happy to help. I also have a more form fitting black top (295bb) and like having options.
Definitely get pumped for the 16oz SBG, it's incredible.

Waiting patiently for a suicidal Mosquito to try its luck against the 16 oz SBG .. and inevitably break its proboscis. Macro photo function on the pixel 7 pro should capture the act in all its painful detail.
No luck so far...

Threw my shirt in the tub for a hot soapy soak with Dr. Bronners Lavendar soap (my favorite). Just needed to make sure I got the river out of it. I put it back on damp and the crease reset better than before, it helps to keep the arms bent while soaking. No shrinkage of course, but the shirt overall feels a bit better and drapes nicer. On day 6 now and have slept in it 4 nights. Starting to see first signs of evo which leads me to believe it will fade quickly.

@Jcaz6996 I hear that man, so many amazing fabrics with only one body to wear them! I'm happy you got a shirt in this denim too though. Looking forward to see what we all do with them. I love that some of us consistently have the same taste in particular denims. Makes it more fun and enjoyable to clock each other's progress.

@Jcaz6996 medium in route from iron shop provision.
I accepted an offer for a new job yesterday so this is a little treat to myself. Gonna wear it to work, never really worked an office setting before. -
Tried this on in size Large in Rivet & Hide (whilst in a bit of a rush) and was satisfied with the sizing. So much so I didn't even bother to try the medium!
Now I've got it at home and had more time to ruminate on it I think it's just a bit too big. I could certainly wear it this way and get away with it, but I'd favour a tailored fit I reckon. The sleeves are too long and it's slightly too voluminous in the body. Going to exchange for a medium and hope it's just about right.
As ever, is definitely recommend trying sizes if possible before pressing the button on this one.
I've attached a pic, thoughts welcome!
BTW I tried this combo yesterday and liked it a lot
