March 4th!
Should I?? That is my birthday. Is this some sort of sign?!? -
@Chibs
yes. I agree, it's a sign. Love mine. I may try again. Seems like this is a different fabric. That's seems like justification enough
-
@Chibs coming in clutch as always! Can’t wait for us both to get one and happy birthday big dog!

@hgering27 @northsouthdenimguy Did you happen to take pre and post wash/dry measurements? I took my normal size and after a cold wash it fits me well up top but hugs my waist and bunches up at the bottom. I’m wondering if sizing up for the indigo preorder and hot wash/dry will give me a better fit.
-
@uclabruin I didn’t take measures but it tightened up considerably. There’s notes on the new preorder page how the black and new indigo will be different from the original in terms of shrinkage so I’d probably stick closer to the measurement guide. I MIGHT try to preorder a 2xl to have a fresh one and to see how it fits. I coincidentally just took some 1 year of owning pics the other day and it’s awesome how light it’s gotten.

I did not measure it before, but using the chart measurements as a reference, it definitely shrank quite a bit. The chest came in about three quarters of an inch and the sleeve length shrank at least an inch. I measured both of those. The waist and overall length appear to have shrunk along similar lines, although I did not take exact measurements for those.
Edit: just looked at the chart again. The chest actually shrunk an inch from 25.75 to 24.75

It’s like a 33-T on steroids. This may be my first Ship John thing.

I got the email today too. I have to be strong tomorrow.. I do not need another beautiful, well made, indigo, beautiful, beautiful shirt.. :laugh
-
This really throws a wrench in things with IH also releasing so many beautiful, textured, non-denim indigo shirts this season.
-
It’s going live right when I’ll be out with my family for birthday dinner. I’ll definitely try but not sure if I’ll be able to order

Man this thing is gorgeous.
Question for you guys that have experience with it— is this shirt breathable at all? Like would I absolutely hate myself wearing this shirt everyday in FL?

My only Shipjohn, the wallet and brass key connector
-
@worn2fade well itll definitely fade faster i imagine, but it is on the unbreathable side
-
@worn2fade I would consider it as breathable as a medium to heavy weight denim shirt. I live in the PNW and I don’t think I will be wear this in the summer.
-
@hgering27 do you typically wear a size XL is US brands?
-
@uclabruin unusually wear xxl in US brands. I can wear some XL. Ironheart I wear 4xl

sames. bummed i missed out on the black sashiko...don't need another burly blue long sleeve.
-
Do you guys go for the same size as your IH for the Sashiko Townes? I'm an XL in the IH Western Kersey. thx.
-
@nixage best advice you can get is too look at measurements not at tag sizes. Some IH items I am an XXL some I am 3XL. My denim townes in 2XL is quite relaxed so looking at the size chart I will try to get an XL and only wash cold when needed

@hgering27 Wow, yours is really nicely worn! Felt inspired to break mine out today after seeing yours and leaned into the SJ theme.
@worn2fade I agree with the other folks in that it's not super breathable. I thought because of the weave it would be but unfortunately not, limiting how often I can wear it.
