She made our Christmas card! Atop Snowbird.

@indigostiff the family resemblance is uncanny!!!

I was off this week for fall break. Upped my wear on this one to NONSTOP all week. Hiking, fishing, couple house projects, pajama duty…
Giving it an air out day today.

@Mizmazzle super cool man! Sashiko is good for a PJ shirt.

5 weeks of daily wear, she be a stubborn beastie...

First wash tonight I reckon, let's loosen up some of that indigo!

[Mizmazzle]

@T4920 hell yeah man. Excited to see the results.

I agree with the stubborn beast description. Only the lightest signs of fading on mine still.

@T4920 please post a first wash measurement update! Very nervous about how much shrinkage it might get..

[T4920]

@americanathreads already in the machine, will report on how it feels size wise though .. mine was literally perfect in every dimension, so if it's shrunken at all I should be able to tell!

Washing on 30c, low spin.

[T4920]

no marbling or weird lines, that's a win! Will turn up the heating to get it semi-dry, then sleep in it and report back tomorrow morning

[Mizmazzle]

Oh man! This is an exiting experiment indeed!
I read that the Ship John Sashiko became fuller after a wash. Thicker and more "alive." Wondering if the IH will react at all the same?

[T4920]

Good news, no shrinkage!

Forum isn't letting me post pics right now, but it certainly looks and feels a little different.

[Tago Mago]

I gave mine a wash at 30°C and 600rpm. Will measure when it’s dry (I even measured beforehand @ARNC) and report back

[T4920]

@Mizmazzle
Damn looking so sick. Everytime see a new post on this thread. I gotta admit def bummed at myself for not buying one at selfedge, day after they came out. I tried it on, fit/felt great and decided hold off for few untill payday etc but sold out less than week later. “Way she goes”

[T4920]

Brand new vs 5 weeks of wear and a wash.

[Mizmazzle]

@T4920 looks to have lightened up a bit. Did the fabric feel change much?

[pechelman]

Looks like the sleeves shrunk a bit too.

[T4920]

@pechelman think it's more to do with the inner elbow creases having settled in in the after photo. Any shrinkage is negligible, fit feels the same as before.
