already better

@Daniel-San it was you bringing to my attention the consequences of fold crease fades (I believe on your hefty lefty’s little bit back). I always make sure to remove my fold creases now because of this. I salute you sir 🫡 ️

[WhiskeySandwich]

Yeah, I’ve still got a pretty prominent sleeve fold crease fade on my left arm but I’m sure it’ll blend eventually.

creases set and ready to go
this is by far the most hardcore shirt ever , absolutely insane
will wear a longsleeve shirt while breaking in , otherwise I’ll get sore armpits for sure

The water tells me things

Hey @Graham have you been wearing this? Wondering how it's coming along since your last update. How's it softening up?

I'm about a month of daily wear into it with one soapy soak and it's a little softer but still pretty stiff. Way more comfy than when I got it tho!

@WhiskeySandwich hell yeah

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 whiskey my man. This is where I’m at. This is after 1 months wear everyday, I don’t have an especially active job so I’m making up for that with never taking it off. Following Filthy’s Mike advice for honeycombs on jeans I’ve applied that to the short sleeves - spraying the arms with water to help the creases settle in more…

[WhiskeySandwich]

@Mr-Linz dude that thing looks like it’s seen more work than mine. Fades coming in hot!

[Mr Linz]

@WhiskeySandwich Thanks mate! Truly committing to this one!

@WhiskeySandwich I have the 08 SBG which may be 10 years old. It does not soften up much. Feel free to do hand washes in the tub and line dry as much as needed. The 16oz SBG is uniquely stiff and stubborn. I imagine over some hardcore wear over time it will. I’ve worn mine for a few seasons in less active situations. So maybe you might experience some Additional softness since you’re wearing it much harder than I am. Hope this helps and happy fading!

[WhiskeySandwich]

@Fadez thanks for sharing man, good insight. Maybe the wind hitting it at 60mph for hours on end riding the bike will loosen up those stubborn fibers. Sounds like a good excuse to ride!

[WhiskeySandwich]

Got the funk out with a second soapy soak and rinse. Seeing some stuff starting.

@Mr-Linz nice

@WhiskeySandwich dang

[Mr Linz]

@Oaktavia Thanks mate! That's a big compliment coming from you!
