@popvulture Heft indeed! It's almost like a weighted blanket.
-
@popvulture def not like trying to break a lefty.
-
@Mizmazzle haha yeah man, mine's still like a paper mache shell.
-
@popvulture Ha! mine is like damp paper mache. Not sure it will ever be what can be called “soft.” But if you’re going into a rough dive bar and fear the potential of being stabbed by a ruffian…the lefty is the jacket to wear.

@kojimastreets dang. Yeah man. Sometimes the learning curve can be sharp. I’ve def made some denim decisions I regretted. Probably will happen again too. How narrow did you have them altered?

@Mizmazzle dude!! Looks awesome on you. So happy the shirt went to someone that's gonna enjoy it. Fits you better than it fit me!!

@Mizmazzle somewhere between 8 and 9”. Closer to 8, I think. I picked them up several years ago at Iron Heart Osaka and thought I could make them into 888s. Came out super goofy looking but I’m pretty sure I’m the only one who notices
.Never again!

Not to jump in, but I also have them. really great. on the lighter weight side but in a good way
-
@68degreesorless as @northsouthdenimguy says, they're a (in comparison to IH) lighter weight option, and a roomy straight fit without being baggy. I wear them quite a bit and they seem to be wearing well so far.

Another quick Tricotine update. The molding and shaping of this fabric is just insane. First wear day yesterday all day until bed time. Going on day two now. I thought the shaping progress was of note:

@pechelman I’m pretty stoked about it!!
-
@Mizmazzle that's crazy how it developed these creases in a day. Reminds me of my 16 oz black denim western. 361.
-
@FlavourFade I did dampen the crease side of the sleeve with a bit of water to help set them. But even the shoulders and body of the shirt have taken shape at a pace that is bonkers.
-
@Mizmazzle the difference in just one day is astonishing. I wondered yesterday if you’d overshot on the sizing up and held my counsel. Now I know my first impressions were wrong. Looks great and I’m sure it’ll only get better.
-
@ARNC oh man. TBH, I was a little worried myself. Thought maybe id have to hot wash it etc. This fabric is wild. Has this porousness to it that allows it contour like crazy. Then, in just the one day I’ve worn it, it somehow becomes more dense and thick. Almost turns into a felt like thickness and hand feel.

@Mizmazzle sounds interesting. I really don’t need any more shirts at the moment (not saying I won’t get any though) but I’m glad it would take more effort than I’m willing to put in to get one of these right now.
