The T-shirts are still on their way. My wife got a Type3 Sashiko Jacket from Rivet and Hide today, and is super happy with it:

@tody
awesome jacket
but….……, something’s going on there 🫣
maybe you’re just a bad photographer, or Daddy soon.
second would be fantastic of course

[tody]

@Daniel-San Lol, it's the photographers fault

[Daniel San]

@tody
sorry mate !

[Mizmazzle]

@Daniel-San now she’s going to want to return the jacket hahah

[sabergirl]

Jacket looks great, @tody, but I’m wondering what pants those are? Love a patch pocket.

[tody]

@sabergirl Parlez vous francais?

[sabergirl]

Non, monsieur! Merci, in any case ️

[tody]

Shirts are here. I can see why the sizing is a little tricky, as they're slim throughout the body.
Shoulders on mine are rather wide, but that's not so easy noticed. Too much dad bod showing would have been the worse choice.
And they're long - thank god for that, that's why with the exception of the 11oz, the IH tees are not working for me (and the bib straps are too short).

Got mine today in black size 6. Border line tight but doable

@tody @yannis I suspect you’ll find they relax a little through the day and you can probably find an extra half inch here and there (if needed) with some judicious tugging after washing.

[yannis]

Yes they do @ARNC. I have to be mindful when washing them in just cold water and hung dry otherwise they become way too tight. I have a few of them love the quality just wish they had a size 7 but can't fault them. When my weightlifting time comes to an end they will fit just fine.

[ARNC]

@yannis same here (the careful washing part and the love). I usually check critical dimensions with a tape measure while they’re drying and adjust as necessary. This works for me and the quality (as you know) justifies the slightly obsessive care.

[weftyarn]

@tody congrats I think it looks excellent on you!

Two noteworthy updates from my side:

1. The Dark Indigo Tee is showing some progress after ~30 wears and ~10 washes

2. I picked up the Jacquard Sashiko Gray/Black Shorts and they are freaking amazing. Soft, cozy, breathable, sturdy, thick… All at once.

(The Samurai 15Oz Chinos are also really nice!!)

[tody]

@weftyarn Oh, they're shorts! Looking good, my wife loves her Type 3 jacket made of that fabric.

[Mizmazzle]

@weftyarn such a cool fabric. The little leaf on your shirt is so dark. The one on mine is very white with a red detail. I though I had a dark indigo version (got mine used) but perhaps not.

[ARNC]

I’m wondering if it’s black indigo rather than dark indigo. Looks great either way!

[weftyarn]

@ARNC & @Mizmazzle you guys are of course right, it’s actually called black indigo. The regular one is called „deep indigo“. Have no clue how I came up with dark indigo haha

@tody didnt know they made a type 3 from this. Sounds very tempting…

[ARNC]

@weftyarn well it is dark and there’s indigo in the mix …

As well as the T3 there’s a T2 - R&H have both but I don’t think they’re for me.
