@dinobarnesberlin my thoughts exactly. It would be fun to bring it to Gosport if I make it to the party...

Did I miss a party invite?

[Oaktavia]

@XPender I was speculating, there are not set plans yet.

[louisbosco]

any updated ETA on this so far?

Spring-ish

I'm going to wash the sample again when I reach 100 wears, which will be next week. I'll post update photos at that time too.

[flannel slut]

can't believe this beauty is only around 100 days, killer job on posting its progress... it's been a great thread to follow

[Oaktavia]

@flannel-slut it faded super quickly, even when it was brand new, there were fades on the collar and the bottom part of the shirt. Like white fades on the trim before I even put it on. It's one of those shirts that fades noticeably after every time it's worn. I also think the carefully planned washes helped with the evo too. I washed it at the following times:

25- machine wash, drip dry
46- machine wash, drip dry
69- machine wash, drip dry

Next wash will be at 100. Some denim from what I understand takes well to washes. This one for sure exhibits those characteristics.

@Oaktavia ive just fully caught up with this thread, you are smashing it! Ive seen the shirt in real life and while I loved it, there were other shirts higher on the list, yet the work you've put into it has me convinced this has to be my next denim shirt!

@Oaktavia cause you’re the fading wizard my friend

[Oaktavia]

@AdamC right on man, happy to hear you are diggin' the process. I'm sure you could put some work into one, and look forward to seeing it.

What are the differences between the 18oz vintage 292 and this shirt?
Just an oz of fabric weight and tonal stitching?

I'm debating which to get when they're restocked...

Aside from the 18oz 292 being indigo/beige and 19oz 409 indigo/black, the feel is much different. 409 feels noticeably more robust and dense compared to 292. 409 seems quite heavier despite the weights being close and takes more time to break in. The 292 new from the bag is more of a comfortable wearing denim as well.

The 409 has a warmer, blueviolet color which appears darker with the black weft. The 292 is a classic looking Indigo denim that looks almost 1970s inspired. These are all my observations and YMMV.

They both seem to fade pretty quickly if worn all day every day repeatedly.
