@northsouthdenimguy very helpful. Thanks!

@Crispy-Heron No further updates I am afraid at present other than it is in production with the next iteration using Blattwerk leather.

[Crispy Heron]

@Bailey - grand. May email you re: dimensions of the XS you have in stock?

[Bailey]

@Crispy-Heron Please do mate, and we will get back to you as soon as we can

I can’t take it anymore! I need one!

[indigostiff]

The hand of the old style shirt is much different than the upcoming Blattwerk. This is my #1 randomly complimented piece in my wardrobe. Just be ready, when you wear it, strangers will approach...

[Crispy Heron]

@indigostiff - different how?

[SonnyTheElder]

@northsouthdenimguy Was this the one that was just on eBay? If so, I had my on the same one. Congrats on acquiring this killer top!

[indigostiff]

@Crispy-Heron The old one appears more structured, with a slight sueding to it. It is totally raw and unfininished. The new one is softer out of the box, with what appears to be a top coat, sealing its finish a bit more.

I have had two mishaps with the old one - black sharpie and slime - both of which were expertly removed by Rago Bros in NJ, refinishing the whole jacket. I'm not sure the new one offers that serviceability.

[Crispy Heron]

@indigostiff - thanks mate. I am in two minds about getting one - XS in stock. What you reckon?

[indigostiff]

@Crispy-Heron If it's your size, I wouldn't hesitate - on the old style, that is...

[northsouthdenimguy]

@SonnyTheElder

Sorry just saw this…yes it was!

[FlavourFade]

@Crispy-Heron if it's your size I'd highly recommend getting one. I had one of the last XXL but did not keep it because I felt insecure at the moment. Now I regret it very much, because I feel like the new one will be very cool but not as badass and raw like the first version

[Crispy Heron]

@FlavourFade - thanks. Just trying to work out if the dimensions will fit me. Love the idea of it being bad ass and gnarly. Just don’t want it not to fit!

[indigostiff]

@Crispy-Heron The fit is its own universe - it doesn't break in quickly, or even at all, so make sure it's not tight anywhere.

[Crispy Heron]

Button pressed on XS. Let’s hope it fits…

[indigostiff]

@Crispy-Heron If it fits, you will never regret it. And you will never fully break it in!

[Crispy Heron]

@indigostiff - received today. I now know what you (and others) were talking about. This thing is a beauty and a beast in equal measure. In an ideal world I would have gotten the small but the extra small works (better not put weight on) and is comfy with t shirt underneath.

[indigostiff]

@Crispy-Heron great! i would keep it "as is", not putting any cream on it, which will darken it and take away from its suede appearance. also, wear it as much as you can, and hopefully you're not getting the shoulder-creep, where it rides up high around your neckline.

it's a lifetime piece.
