Freenote Cloth

@Gavin666 it definitely is! I love all three, the green gets the most wear at the moment but Tumbleweed is my favourite. Strangely Tumbleweed feels much more waxy. Has anyone tried to rewax?

The heavy waxed version of RJ-1 is out. Really considering it at the moment. Measurements say it's a bit shorter in my usual size too which would be great.
I always thought I'd go with the 20oz and now it's available.
I see many people with multiple different colour RJ-1s here but for me it still needs a bit of justifying. I am thinking that a good justification to get it is that it could be that being 20 oz and all it would get even more wear in the northern climate since the season for the 10oz on it's own is quite short.
Sometimes in northern europe its from shorts and t-shirt to a winter jacket in just a few weeks.

@Max-Power i've rewaxed my tumbleweed and black RJ1s with the original martexin wax. the tumbleweed darkened up a little bit but not too much.

@dugafola thank you! If you can - feel free to share comparison pictures! I'm scared to mess up an expensive jacket...

[dugafola]

i'll post up what my tumbleweed looks like right now later today.

it's pretty easy to wax a jacket. i definitely recommend a heat gun or hair dryer. i think i got a heat gun online for < $30. anyways, i apply liberally focusing on high wear areas and shoulders. heat it up and then move around the excess with an old credit card. let it cure in the sun if you can.

@Max-Power just look at the guide on filsons website (and use their wax, which I believe I saw freenote recommend for rewaxing as well — maybe on instagram?), almost impossible to mess it up

Picked up a Freenote Cloth Utility shirt in Khaki, always liked the design pocket and corozo buttons. 6-2 (200lbs) and Large is great. Typically XL or sometimes XXL in IH.

looks great!

@RubyRae fantastic! I’ve had my eye on these for a while. I bought one several years ago, but the cuffs were too tight … it looks like they’ve fixed that??

[PJ]

@RubyRae It’s a great piece and it’s super soft

[RubyRae]

@Brandrea definitely no concerns about cuffs, everything is spot on. very happy with the shirt, and glad to add to the rotation.
