This most recent run of black features new Kurashikizome dying techniques (along with all the new colours). The few remaining of the previous run can still be found here

Just recieved a black and an indigo one - great shirts. The hand is firmer than I expected (and much firmer than feared), and the texture of the fabric I quite interesting. The outside is quite smooth and the shirt feels light (a lot lighter than the 11oz IH ones), but the fabric still feels substantial and drapes well. I totally get the hype!
As to why they didn’t sell fast - I’m a sample size of one, but I skipped them at first due to the name. I automatically assumed that the fleece would be the usual polyester, and thought the shirt would be a combination of cotton and fleece, not at fleece made from cotton. I only bought because I stumbled on this thread.

That's an interesting take, thank you.

So I’ve been wearing one of these pretty much every day since I recieved them (I wear dress shirts for work and change when I get home), and have put them both though their first wash.
I recommend them very highly:
I have a lot of “standard” utilitees. I wear them as undershirts daily, and for me they strike the balance between price and quality.
But these heavyweights are (sample size of two) at least as well made. And for me the cut is amazing. I pack a decent beer belly, so the “tight white” t-shirt isn’t flattering on me. But these slightly oversized heavyweights are perfect. They drape rather than hug the body - without making you look like you chose the wrong size.

Any plans for a long sleeve version? Would love that.

Do these get much softer with wear and wash? Just curious, I've worn the black (original version) for a total of 1 day so far, and I'm not sure I like the way it feels. The seams on the ribs and under arms are pretty rough (all of the interior feels rough, actually), I think because the arm holes are so big that the 4 way seam comes together right where the lat muscle stands out the most against my inner arm. This one might be a catch and release for me unless they soften significantly. Any feedback on that?
-
@indigo_fades mine do not feel any noticeably different however I appreciate it's largely subjective. I did not notice it being overly coarse to begin with
-
@AdamJ - I note that they don’t do these in a small. I got the medium and I know that they are meant to be worn baggy but it is simply too big for my puny body.
Any plans to get these in small?
