@GraemeE How many washes have you put into yours? Looks to be really hitting it’s stride in the fades

[GraemeE]

@Danimal506 just the initial hot soak but I have been out in the rain a few times with it

[GraemeE]

@goosehd how's the fit?

[goosehd]

@GraemeE Comically large out of the bag…just about perfect after the hot wash.

The Ship John pocket T is a great shirt for summer days at the park. They fit me great and are a soft, breathable cotton.

The sashiko hats are so good!
I snagged a shirt too.

@Brock looks sick with that 'stache and hair.

[Danimal506]

@Brock Looks good! Have you washed yours?

[Brock]

@Oaktavia

Haha! Thanks.

[Brock]

@Danimal506

I’ve done a couple hot soaks and washed by hand once

[Brock]

Its definitely settled down a bit after hitting water..

[Danimal506]

@Brock Yea it looks really good! I think I shrank the patch on mine a bit by soaking it too hot. Yours looks good as new still.

[Oaktavia]

@Brock heck yeah man. 70s style. Nice to see you back on here lately.

[Mizmazzle]

@Brock ewwww eeeee! I've been sitting on mine and rocking the broken twill version....your's is making me rethink my strategy!

[Brock]

@Danimal506
Yea I kinda like the way Graeme is rocking his without the patch… I almost ripped mine off today but I’m too lazy

[Brock]

@Mizmazzle I always vote sashiko

[Danimal506]

@Brock Yea dude! @GraemeE looks really clean

[Danimal506]

I gave my hat a second hot soak today. This time in hot tap water with a tiny bit of detergent. I agitated it every 10 mins or so for a 30 minute soak. Left the patch and bill out of the water, but they got wet inevitably. I left it out in the 95 degree Texas sun for an hour.

It shrunk down again and this time I think the fit might be perfect. It used to hurt my ears after a while when I wore it because of the high crown. So far so good on the first wear!

No significant fades yet. I don’t know how you guys got them so quick!
