Yeah, I think 38w were the way to go. I’m sure I could fit in the 36’s but they would look a lot slimmer.

just asked on ETA for Black Sashiko Ori 3xl and they said still no dates and that only Medium and Large are complete...

@hgering27

Mine will be ready just in time for summer

[denami]

@hgering27 @northsouthdenimguy I received mine on saturday, it will truly be worth the wait, hopefully it’s not much longer for the larger sizes.

@denami

Where is the pic?!?!?

[hgering27]

@denami I know it’ll definitely be worth the wait if it’s anything like the indigo, it’s just the lack of any ETA makes me think it’s going to be awhile

@northsouthdenimguy

Sorry for the bad lighting, I tried to show the comparison to my indigo. I’ll need to give it a warm wash at some point to dial in the fit.

@hgering27 bullet proof, nice!

[RubyRae]

@denami amazing, let us know after the wash. Do you think the black and indigo feel the same weight and heft? I have yet to find a close second to my SH sashiko ori indigo shirt. It's just the best design and fabric hands down. I'm going to have to pursue a black one next time around. Everything is harder to get now, it seems like almost a degree of luck getting in on certain releases and checkout. Congrats on another great piece!

[denami]

@RubyRae I think it’s the same weight as the indigo, it feels slightly lighter right now but I think that’s just because it’s not washed yet. I’m hoping it’ll shrink about an inch or so all around after the initial wash which has been my experience with most SJ shirts but will update after.

Black sashiko before and after shrinking.

[talexander]

Indigo in the same size to give an idea of how it will break in

@talexander - very nice fit and evo. I am waiting for my final payment email for the black Sashiko. I missed the indigo one but I do have the Dehen Weekend jacket that uses the same exact fabric. I am glad Ship John is making more indigo shirts.

@talexander

That looks great

@talexander Perfect, How did u shrink?

[talexander]

@atm23 That is an awesome jacket. I can't say with any certainty, but I feel like the IHV-50-IND is the same material as well. If not, I cannot tell the difference when I put them side by side.

[talexander]

@northsouthdenimguy thank you!

[talexander]

@Denimhead-0 I actually tried the way they recommended with just a cold soak. Didn't do much at all. Then I tried a hot soak in the bathtub. Definitely shrunk a bit and dyed the water black, but I still wasn't happy with the fit. So I threw caution to wind and put it in the washer on extra hot and took it out right before it started the spin cycle. Actually did the same thing with the indigo. The agitation probably helped the most? I don't know, I'm not an expert by any means. Just worked for both of my Ship John sashiko shirts.

@talexander perfect, thanks
