      @Oaktavia I figured it would not be that big of a deal because this is a shirt and not a pair of jeans or thick jacket. I think most people soak to remove potential unwanted chemicals left and from the crafting process. I don’t think I’m as worried.

        @Deonte1719 My top tip would be enjoy wearing and don't fret too much. It's not an exact science and the whole fun is in finding your way. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised with the heft of this fabric too! Look forward to seeing some pics!

        The devil is in the detail..

          @Deonte1719 ah, yeah I don't know much about that. Best piece of advice I've been given is simply: Wear it a lot from @twin a masterclass fader.

            @Deonte1719 hoooooo doggy!!! hats off on not messing the feck around on your first go. Couldn't agree more on all of the above... wear it hard/wear it often. If you want an OCD care approach (two thumbs pointing at myself, "this guy!"); this fabric is so cronchy, I pre-soaked my CPO, not to remove any chemicals but to ease up on any unwanted/unnatural fold creases/fades @Daniel-San style. I am also planning on hand washing/line drying mine for the first couple washes to avoid marbling.

                100% agree with @flannel-slut @Oaktavia @Daniel-San and all , If the fold creases bother you out of the package, you can wet/soak it, and wear briefly while damp to smooth out the creases and set some natural ones that bend with your body. Then just don't take it off until it gets funky, and soak it in some suds.

                  @flannel-slut I’m excited. My job requires me to wear a suit and tie but I will be wearing this in between those times. I just wanna cool black shirt that looks better with age, stays fitted, and lasts forever. Buy it nice or buy it twice (or more)

                        @Pipeboss713 hell yeah man. How many days are you in (if you keep tally)? I am at 17 due to mainly wearing the 19oz CPO sample mostly. Still seeing significant evo rapidly.

                            crosspost! because this is the same thing as my 362:
                            Request for pics!!! I'm wondering if anyone's been regularly washing their 16oz... I've been keeping mine pretty nasty with daily wear since this dropped and only one soapy soak after camping out. I'm curious how soft this will get and how much it'll lighten. My wife keeps calling this one my "cardboard jacket" and refuses to wear it, opting instead for a UHF lol. I'm holding out as long as possible for sharp fades before picking up a washing routine.

                              @WhiskeySandwich some marbling going on after 1 wash (inside out..pre soak..no spin). I am not going to baby this beast, so curious where this is going 🙂

                                I think it's a question of "tension" of the twill (a bit like in the 526L Lefty indigo). It will soften but it will take a long time.

                                  @Tobi nice to hear you won't be babying yours! I love to see the process of both holding out on washing like @WhiskeySandwich and the opposite. It's fun to do that with different shirts too to add to the variety and being able to baby some shirts and go hard af on others. It makes less pressure to have crispy fades compared to vintagey fades. Some come faster and less time consuming than others...my two cents thrown out there.

                                    Nice @Tobi . I'm not opposed to marbling. I also agree this beast doesn't need to be babied. It will all end up displaying the character of it's wearer eventually. I just like seeing how the same items evolve in the hands of other characters! I love seeing pieces that have been washed a billion times compared to those seldom washed. The results are always cool no matter what the process.

                                        We're in the same headspace. I plan on babying mine too and holding off on machine washing for as long as I can stand it. The only thing in my way (so to speak) is the 19oz CPO Sample I have been wearing religiously. I'm only at 17 wears with my SBG but do plan to wear it tomorrow.
