Rogue Territory

[Dmart]

I have a pair of Stanton in the black stealth. Super crispy and slooow fader. Unfortunately they are way too big now for me to wear anymore.

[jerkules]

@T4920 No meaningful shrink on the stealth jacket, iirc. Probably best to soak rather than machine wash to be on safe side, or cold with no/minimal spin if possible.

[T4920]

@jerkules Yeah that was my plan, although I feel like it'll be a while before it needs a wash because I struggle to eat or drink whilst wearing it due to a restricted range of motion in my arms

Rogue Territory Indigo Selvedge Canvas shirt

Well I was going to ask if anyone had examples of this shirt but the XXL I was about to pull the trigger on has gone from Rivet and Hide. But any examples would be amazing.

Here’s mine. I enjoy rogue territory but their items shrink so much for me. Even with just a soak and air dry. Their pants usually become unwearable because of the shrinkage. I wish I had washed this shirt prior to putting in wear. The fades have kind of moved due to shrink

[joephoto]

@marco23d How much did it shrink? Even with a cold wash/soak?

[marco23d]

@joephoto I didn’t take measurements but I’d say a solid size. I always do cold soaks. Usually a wash after but this one I just did a soak and hung to dry outside. Sometimes I think maybe I’m doing something wrong but I don’t experience this with any other brand.

[jerkules]

Agree with @marco23d . Mine shrank considerably. Pit to pit went from 23 to 21.5, back length from 29.5 to 28. I washed cold with minimal spin. Maybe I’m spoiled with a wealth of knowledge with IH and the forum, but I don’t think it’s too much for a manufacturer to inform customers of this, especially for a £265 shirt. Their website now states 0.5 inch shrinkage (it definitely didn’t at the time a couple of years ago).

My shirt ended on eBay and I got maybe £120 from it, so considerable loss there. Shame as I loved the fabric, fit (pre wash), and the construction was solid.

@jerkules that is quite some shrinkage. That makes sizing difficult because I could size up more and then get hardly any shrinkage and I’m left with a shirt that’s too roomy. Or I have a cold shower whilst wearing the shirt and pray for the best. Thanks

@jerkules @marco23d I am interested in getting this shirt. Normally I would get the medium, but am thinking of getting a large, and giving it s cold soak right away to remove shrinkage, would you recommend that?

[flannel slut]

@xzther8 Ill chime in (stuck on an awful conference call and happen to be wearing mine tdy) It’s been stated a thousand times before and bears repeating a thousand times more, start with the measurement charts over tag size. But yep, I think going with a large for it to fit more like a medium would be the way to go. Start with a cold soak and if you need it to tighten up more, warm soak it. For reference, mine started out a little baggy and now fits great post soak.

[motojobobo]

All solid, time proven suggestions @flannel-slut

[xzther8]

@flannel-slut thanks man! Looks great on you, going to go with the large then.

Just picked up this cryptic western - really enjoying it as an outer layer

My only qualm is the lack of side pockets

Bought a Supply Jacket in Black Denim today. Really like the clean asthetic of that cut. Not for the traditionalists but I personally prefer it over the classic I-III type cuts.

[CosmoSix5]

Snake Oil Provisions just unveiled a RGT Sashiko pre order that I'm dying trying to avoid. Chore coat and a Cruiser. I've got a $$$$ leather jacket arriving in this groups window and I need my wife. Also I don't need any more jackets in general... But wow chore coat is screaming at me!

[flannel slut]

@CosmoSix5 wouldn’t be doing my part as a forum member if I did not chime in w my own enabling thoughts I actually prefer RGTs sashiko over any I’ve come across (and yes I own the IH 21oz sashiko work shirt amongst a couple other very nice sashiko’s)

[bluemantra]

@CosmoSix5 I think I will be ordering one

[CosmoSix5]

@flannel-slut that's unhelpful man my IH sashiko was sealing the deal on avoiding this one.

[CosmoSix5]

I'm glad I'm addicted to quality garments and not illicit drugs because I'd be dead.
I wasn't charged for shipping and that sealed the deal. $500 is their free ship amount. Your mileage may vary.
My first RGT piece!
