It’s probably a flaw in my brain or personality, but the perfect fit and feel of clothing and footwear ranks very high among the things I enjoy

It’s interesting to see how some of these makers evolve. Over the years I’ve tried quite a few that didn’t have the right fit, but I often wonder if they’ve changed or improved and if I might be missing out.

Really looking forward to the black Sashiko and the Kristofferson, hoping those fit well or I can adjust them with washing and drying as needed.

[Bobcat Sig]

@northsouthdenimguy indeed. But you’re giving me some serious fomo with the sashiko mention. I’m still salty that I missed out while my payment was processing.

I look forward to the pictures.

@northsouthdenimguy agreed man, I am eagerly awaiting the sashiko and kristofferson

I’ve been patiently waiting for a restock of the Hawkins glove in tobacco and unfortunately it’s back in brown, black, and ivory but no tobacco. Considering the black or ivory now… Anyone have these gloves? Do you like them?

[Brock]

Love them! I have them in a natural leather I think. I’ll try to find them and take a couple pics

Living in SoCal the weather has been too nice to bust out the wills so I took it with me on my recent Euro/UK trip! Winds were gnarly at the top of Arthur's Seat but, this thing is a tank, unfazed and warm!

[mecken88]

@btschauw never tried them, but I ordered a pair of the black Hawkins gloves and the green hat on this drop

Looking forward to them!

[btschauw]

@Brock natural sounds great for some patina. Would love to see some photos!

[btschauw]

@mecken88 nice! Let me know what you think of them!

[mecken88]

@btschauw yeah I can post some updates after they arrive

[Brock]

Turns out I have 2 pair

Got an "seconds" indigo sashiko shirt from the last drop on the site. Since it's been cooling down I've been beating on it like a drum. I prewashed it to get the shrink out but that's it so far. Excited to see this beast unlock this winter.

Anybody manage to pick up a black sashiko shirt? I'm jealous of those who did!

[hgering27]

@freepickin looking good man. I’ve been wearing mine a ton more now that the weather dipped. I did manage to snag the black also but not supposed to be delivered until sometime in November

[mecken88]

Just washed my denim Townes in hope for some shrinkage.

And let me tell you. It became so much better. I wanna say perfect, but gonna give it a few days and see how it feels!
Arms shorten and got slightly narrower, chest shrink slightly and the over all length shrunk too. I hot soaked it in the tub for 45min before I tossed it straight in the washer on warm (40degrees Celsius) program with medium to gentle spincycles. Then hung dry over night. And it became great!

Left is brand new as it is, and right is after the wash. Not the best pictures but you can kind of get the point.
Now a great fitted shirt for the long haul🫶

Some autumn fade updates on the Holcombs v2 22.5oz jeans. Almost daily wear of soon to be 9 months

[hgering27]

Just came in today, the horween Essex boss boots. The leather is so soft. Can’t wait to get some steps in these

[btschauw]

@Brock these both look awesome. Especially the natural. Good to see you putting them to work. Thanks for sharing!

[Larkens]

@mecken88 Looking forward to seeing this shirt in the state of your Holcombs fit looks great!

[mecken88]

@Larkens thanks man!🫶 I don’t have the same opportunities to work with a shirt as I can with my denim jeans, but I’m gonna try to wear this denim Townes as much and when I can

[RubyRae]

@hgering27 incredible, great score.
