@Tago-Mago i'll dig out my 380 tomorrow to ease my pain.

[Mizmazzle]

@tody the fabric kind of reminds me of those dog toys that are made of old fire hoses…not sure if you’ve seen those.

I kick myself for not getting this one

[Larkens]

@DeeDee85 Same here, just looked at the latest pics from @Mizmazzle again, those a few post above this... man.. what a shirt!

[DeeDee85]

@Larkens fingers crossed for round two at some point in the future eh?

[Larkens]

@DeeDee85 would be nice!

[Mizmazzle]

This has been a fave combo lately…

[freepickin]

@Mizmazzle for good reason, both look amazing on their own but together they are 1 + 1 = 3

@Mizmazzle that jacket might be eeking toward a place in the Hall of Fades before long

[newtoiron]

@Mizmazzle What’s that insane good art button?!?

[newtoiron]

P.s. Wearing this shirt in my profile pic. Been wearing on and off for over a year… but still haven’t washed.

[AdamJ]

@newtoiron It's a GA HLWYD Boutonierre like this

[newtoiron]

@AdamJ thanks. I’m gonna go one the hunt for one. So you just leave that pocket unbuttoned and use the buttonneire instead?

[AdamJ]

@newtoiron yep exactly

[Mizmazzle]

@newtoiron there is like a slide through on the boutonnière that passes through the button hole on the jacket and it sits in that. Then the pocket flap rests open on the pocket button below it.

[Mizmazzle]

@AdamJ I’m wearing it a lot. It’s slow starting out but feels like it’s snowballing now.

[Mindfulbiscuit]

with a heavy heart I gave up my journey with this shirt it shrunk to much and the buttons just kept coming off I don’t know if it was my job that stressed the shirt to much but I sold it on to someone hopefully who can take it to another level

[Mizmazzle]

@Mindfulbiscuit oh man. This is a heart breaking story indeed. Did you find that it kept shrinking with each additional wash?
I’ve washed mine about 3 times now (cold/ line dry) and haven’t noticed much.
Your 397 was def the gold standard in fade progress.

[Mindfulbiscuit]

@Mizmazzle yeah I cold washed it and it just got to tight on me being a work shirt it fit well for me in the beginning but I always thought working in it didn’t help as mybe sweating in it made it moulded to my body as well I wore for 240 days it faded beautifully but this in this fabric not for construction sites
