@V-P thanks. Wow, from the measurements it doesn't look like it shrunk much at all. You actually notice a fit difference? Seems to small to tell, but I haven't tried.
-
@jpvisual Yes, it’s definitely noticeable. Not a night and day difference of course but a slightly slimmer fit.

Bought one more 🫣. First one from IHUK with snap upgrade from this release. Brund CPH had one XL left when I dropped by yesterday. I have sold many of my flannels since I find myself wearing the darker mono colour shirts more often than UHFs. This 295-IB fits me so well and can we agree it’s two completely different shirts with or without the snap upgrades, right

@Gavin666 will it? The 12 and 14oz denims seem more dissimilar than similar to me
-
@Gavin666 don’t think they are easily comparable like that.
My 295ib have slightly soften up over the wear iv gotten in, but it’s slightly softer to what it was brand new. But not as soft as a lighter completely different fabric…
️There is probably no easy answer here. But the more you wear, soak, wash eventually the fabric will soften up to what the fabric has potential to be. No fabric is identical to any other. And same fabrics used by different people, will differ in feel and looks a lot too in my experience.
Dont overthink it, just wear the crap out of it

How long does this take to soften up similar to 12oz?
I agree with the others' sentiments. Kind of like comparing a t-shirt to a polo.
They can both be pretty comfortable, but the polo will never feel quite comfortable enough to wear to bed like a tee.

@twin looking great buddy! You feeling better lately?

I'm wearing mine today. I've been wearing it 4-5 days a week since it dropped. No washes yet - it's winter here so it's not smelling despite the wear. Starting to get a few pops of colour around the cuffs, but still miles to go.
It's softened, but it's not soft. Still pretty hefty. I think it'll take some more time and a couple of washes to really break in.
