    @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.

      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.

        @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.

          @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

          4083F595-D78C-4414-8B36-A921B9B72216-1033-0000025ED2722ACF.jpeg

          1. 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!!)

          Use it or lose it.

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

              @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.

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

                  @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…

                    @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.

                          Iron Heart denim are always consistent, clean, well stitched, and built to last. I really enjoy my pairs. I however enjoy slubby, loose weave denim as I feel they have more character and is interesting.

                          Ive been looking to add a non dark indigo or black pair of denim to the rotation. This one fit the bill nicely. PBJ make some of the finest Japanese Selvedge denim in my opinion. These 14oz Pure Blue Japan SMBL-19 comes in a vintagey Smokey Blue colour is awesome. Kind of a grey, green and blue cast. Blue selvedge ID is always a welcome sight.

                                    Size 5 it is for me both on the Indigo as well as the OD version. The OD is slightly smaller though, could definitely wear a 6 there for a more relaxed fit.

                                    Use it or lose it.
