Anyone have a Townes shirt and can comment on it? Look nice but I guess also all sold out. Maybe you have to wait for drop?
-
@natefreezy I’ve never tried one. But yes they release versions of their Townes short throughout the year.
Also, they just teased copper key doodads, if anyone has a proclivity for other metals.

Can you elaborate on what you heard about the copper key doodads? I am a big fan of copper doodads.

I have the Sashiko ori and waiting for the striped one to deliver tomorrow. I love the Sashiko version. It’s a little on the long side, I did shrink it following his directions and it definitely shrunk but either way I wear it almost daily it’s super comfortable and well made
-
@natefreezy I've got the denim one from 4 or 5 years ago and love it - so much so that I have scared a fair amount of indigo off it....

I especially appreciate the way they have added a strip of fabric along the hem to prevent it from curling up
Pretty sure @Brock has at least one and his dad had the killer black broken twill one from farther back -

Nice let me know how you like the striped one. They look nice. Also wonder about length, generally don’t like shirts that are too long.
-
@natefreezy great shirt, but feels to long. i'm usually a large in IH westerns and this is a medium. I'm not sure if it's my kind of fit. I can't shrink this one or it won't fit in the other dimensions.
WTB IHJ-140-IG size L

@bluemantra Yeah I have to shrink my L IH denim shirts a little to get the fit I like, especially to lose a little length. Fit looks good overall but yeah it is long.
-
@bluemantra for what it’s worth, I used to prefer a shorter length but have really warmed up to a longer length of late. So much so that I find myself preferring a longer length and find my shorter shirts now look a little off. I guess what I’m getting at is, unless a piece is restrictive, you very well may find something you once thought fit well no longer looks right and vice versa. I dig the fit and will only look better once broken in.
-
Undoing the bottom snap would make a big difference, imo.
-
@bluemantra as the others have said I think it still looks solid, a little long, but I too prefer the longer length for the most part now. also helps it to be able to be worn more as an overshirt if you want. These pictures are making me really excited for mine being out for delivery
-
thanks all. you make good points that it is just different than what i'm used to wearing. I think I will give this a chance. It's very crisp and stiff new.
In measuring the back length is not that different than some of my IH shirts, but I think the difference is on the IH shorts the front is a little shorter and the SJ is equally long in the back and front.
-
The towns is always a little long… it’s just something to get used to. The jacquard looks awesome on you! @bluemantra
-
Edit…. @GraemeE I currently have the herringbone, the brown pin stripe and the sashiko. I used to have the denim one, the black broken twill, and a waxed one but I’ve since sold those three off for some reason.
I do still have my dads black broken twill
-
Here it is. In all its faded glory. He wore the shit out of this one…
-
Just got mine in and wow is this fabric awesome. This is 3xl, I think 2xl would’ve been too snug but I’m debating giving this a warm wash/dry to shrink k it up a little bit
-
I would! Looks awesome man. It really is a pretty cool fabric.
-
Woke up early and just went for it. Warm soak, warm wash and then machine dry and the fit change makes a HUGE difference

@hgering27 night and day fit difference. Looks spot on post wash! Congrats dude!
-
@Mizmazzle thanks man, i was worried it might shrink too much in width, but its literally perfect
