@RandomlyHunting Entirely depends on how you treat it. If you can minimize washing, you’ll end up with less marbling and higher contrast crease fades. If that’s what you’re going for, when you do wash: pre soak, stay cold, hand wash or machine wash, no spin, hang dry. That will somewhat avoid irregularities.
Yes though, SBG is known to marble a bit as a result of washing. If you’re careful it’s not hard to minimize.

@Jett129 @ARNC @Tobi @goosehd @WhiskeySandwich @Mr-Linz
Thanks guys so much for sharing experiences and encouraging me to wear it. I definitely will do that, apologies for dramatizing.It's still uber-nice shirt/jacket and these marks aren't changing it.
Will start to wear it as much as I can, hopefully will share some good results in the future, thanks again! -
@RandomlyHunting I would add to what Whiskey said, and say that if you want to avoid marbling with this shirt (I have no marbling at all) do not put it in the machine at all. Hand wash this sucker and when you soak it before first wearing it, be careful that it's properly (entirely) submerged under the water. That's the safest way to handle it.
My soaking process involved weighing the shirt down and moving it every few minutes for around 20 minutes. It's so easy when this shirt is new, to fold it and get strong lines down the arms (my personal pet peeve - I don't mind marbling - but the lines aren't for me).
Hope this helps. Don't sleep on this one, it's not continuous production.

@init616 I had a similar experience experience with my 21oz SBG jeans, but 6 months wear and 1 more wash later there's no trace of the original 'mistake'
I know it's hard, but try not to get get hung up on it.
As my mother says, it'll all come out in the wash (literally and metaphorically)

Just cuz this good lighting is like cheating for my camera.

@WhiskeySandwich lovely photo mate!

@travisxray nope, hardly any shrinks at all really. It’s super tight and dense already.
-
@WhiskeySandwich True, that makes sense. Thanks man!

@WhiskeySandwich yours shirt looks fantastic
I have been wearing mine hard since my last post and since I sized up to layer underneath I started wearing mine with another shirt below, don't care if it's faux pas or It looks weird, it's really very comfortable as with a shirt underneath it fits me much better. And because mine is still very hard, when I wear it over just t shirt it's pretty awkward.
I hope mine will look similar to yours @WhiskeySandwich in some time

@init616 that thing looks very nice, dude! And nothing wrong with double-shirt. I layer mine more often than not!
-
I’ve got some black weft coming thru in a lot of high wear spots on the seams and edges. Love the contrast. This thing is a great outer layer
-
@init616 I feel that man. I sized up too and wearing with just a t-shirt underneath is a little awkward. I think that looks great layered. I need to browse my shirts and find a few to layer with.
