@ah_long wow!!

@ah_long amazing...frequently washed?

[ah_long]

@Oaktavia

A few hand washes in the first year, did its first machine wash a few weeks ago

With half a year left in the contest and with the current wear pattern, I am thinking of incorporating regular machine washes (once a month or so) and see how it does. I was surprised at how much dirt and grime was covering the shirt when it came out of the machine cycle.

One of the most* (typo) satisfying aspects of denim wear.

@ah_long The best one so far. Super fades.

@Ross Hey Ross, what is your weight bud? I’m 6’4 and 230lbs, and I always look at what size you wear when looking at the tops. It gives me a good idea what size I should get. In the staff chart it shows just your height. I’m just getting my first top items, so I wasn’t 100% sure on the sizes. Thank you

[Ross]

@Bane Hey Mate, im around 240lbs and while i'd love to say its muscle - it isn't

..Which is why we give all the rest of our measurements on that chart, height/weight alone isn't the best judge to go by with everyone being a slightly different shape.

Checking the dimensions of something that fits you well already (using our measurement guide) and comparing to the size chart really is the best way to go. I'd hate for you to pick up my size in the shirt just based on a height/weight comparison only to find yourself with sleeves too long or shoulders too small.

@ah_long sh!t now I regret selling mine

@Ross Thank you Ross, I agree with you. You being the biggest guy there it really helps me when looking at the sizes even though I do measure my clothes here.

Wearing with the Flat Head

Here is mine, I have been wearing it since seeing recent fade photos of this denim around the forum. Fits well over my jackets as an outer layer. Just shy of 100 wears and four machine washes.

[Chap]

Awesome result @Oaktavia

[Oaktavia]

@Chap thanks dude this is an example of marbling that I love. It gives it a 1980s wash look.

@Oaktavia Looking better everytime. Wear & tear.

[labrat]

@Oaktavia looking good! Have you noticed any shrinkage after a wash or two?

[Oaktavia]

@labrat thanks Rat I am unsure as I have had this denim for a few years now. I do not usually take pre and post wash measurements but I don't think it shrunk much at all.
