Indigofera

@northsouthdenimguy much appreciated!
-
So I'm thinking of getting a Gunpowder Hakw, as I want a pair of jeans with a slight bootcut. Would highly appreciate if anyone could share experiences regarding shrinkage and general sizing for Indigofera and the Gunpowder denim. As the rise seems rather high I feel like I could go with a 32 inseam, but wouldn't want to risk a too shirt inseam after washing, especially with a bootcut.
On a sidenote: would have loved to get the IH bootcut or boss cut but these seem to be extinct? (I don't follow much anymore and my "style" is obviously always out of fashion)
-
@Max-Power Correct…not so much extinct but very much not a priority. As the old adage goes, never say never…but.

@Max-Power exactly

So, thanks to a fast delivery by Pancho and Lefty here's me in a Hawk, 35/32. I really dig the cut and fit. Tried a few different tops too...it's been years since I actually took photos of jeans and I might be a bit rusty haha.
The length is OK, I wouldn't want it longer, yet there shouldn't be too much shrinkage...
-
So, I really love the fot of the Hawk and was tempted to go a little further into the bootcut territory and got me the Wyatt. The rise is crazy long (comfy but very unusual to me) and the leg opening is wider. Still, I think it could grow on me...
For comparison: the Hawk after some breaking in.

@Max-Power those should settle in nicely. I like that look in you albeit different from your normal cuts.

I bought this flannel shirt from Private White & Co at the end of September last year. When I first tried it on, one of the snaps popped off while I was taking the shirt off. I pressed it back on and told myself to remember that snap when I actually went to wear the shirt. Fast forward two months, I not only forgot about that snap, but I managed to pop two more off as well.
Long story short, I reached out to Private White & Co and they were supposed to ship me replacement snaps, but they never did. At the same time, I reached out to Indigofera and Fredrik(North American rep?) told me that if Private White did not get me what I needed, to reach back out and he would take care of it.
Now fast forward almost 30 days later and still no snaps from Private White. After a couple of emails back and forth, Fredrik sent me a return label this morning and said he is going to take care of it. He responded quickly and is willing to handle it. Hopefully it all works out. I will keep all you Indigofera fans posted. I know this is really interesting. Fantastic stuff sorry but waiting for my 10 o’clock.
-
well, now you have me worried. I also have a Dollard in a different colourway, and one of the snaps has had a bit of wobble in it from day one, as if the rivet wasn't pressed all the way down..
on the other hand, i've had it for years and nothing happened so far, and i managed to poke a hole into it with the prong of my belt, so, not like i care that much
edit to add.. thats a really cool shirt! Indigofera usually make killer flannel patterns i think
-
I have owned many of their shirts and have never had any issues. They are always very well made. Apparently this particular snap has been giving them problems. Before I shipped the shirt out this morning, I was actually able to pry another snap off with my fingernail very easily.
I do not even think it is an issue of the snaps not being pressed down hard enough. I think it is a quality issue with the snap itself. The metal, although it looks like brass, seems very soft.
I asked them to replace all of the snaps just to be safe.
-
Fredrik at Indigofera went above and beyond. He replaced the snaps, and when I opened the package I realized there were a few extras in there that I did not even know about until they hit the bathroom floor when I pulled it out.
A couple stickers, a couple patches, and a bandanna.
None of that was expected, but it is definitely appreciated
-
@northsouthdenimguy awesome man, they are great guys so I'm not surprised!

Scored a khaki twill Slowhand haori on vinted last night for a good price. Been wanting one for a while, but always found it a bit out of my comfort zone. But for a hundred European pesos I'm willing to take a punt. Supposedly nearly new too. I really hope it's the same twill fabric they use on their Alamo shirts, that has just the softest and most comfortable feel ever. I just can't abide by the boxy fit of the Alamo otherwise I would have added a few to the rotation already
-
Received the Slowhand haori today. It's unfortunately not the same twill as the Alamo. But still a very nice fabric. Construction is absolutely impeccable. Just the drape is a bit odd. I can't tell if it's too small in the shoulders... Hard to explain really. If my shoulders are where they naturally want to be in the shirt, it pulls open at the bottom a bit. If I pull the shirt a bit down in the back so that my shoulders sit more "forward", it doesn't open in the front but it's standing a bit off from my neck. It's got something like a raglan sleeve so there's lots of place for the shoulder to move around..
I love the idea of this shirt, just not sure I love it on me. I have to see if it drapes differently after some wear. It's basically new even though I picked it up second hand
