Has anyone on here picked up one of the Cotton Project tees? Mighty pricy, but I love the concept. I’ve seen and felt the black (more like charcoal really) one at SE and it’s pretty rad, but I’d love to know how they fade. It’s black bean die, so I’m guessing the organic nature of it would make it pretty fade-prone. If anybody’s got experience, please lmk.

I bought a long sleeved black one about 18 months ago. I haven't worn it a ton. Maybe 20-30 wears and 3-4 washes. No fading of note. Nice shirt though. Quite substantial with a boxy, flowy kind of fit and long arms similar to IH so the sleeves have to be cuffed. Fairly slubby, but still soft. I enjoy it for cooler temps.

@68degreesorless thanks man! The short sleeve version looks like it fits a bit snugger with fairly short sleeves, which are both features I dig. I recently bought a 2-pack of the new style medium weight tees from SE and I think they might be my favorite t-shirts I’ve owned. Or at least in the heavier category.

@flannel-slut I love that shirt you posted a few back. Is that a newer or older buy? Didn’t see it come up when I googled.

@popvulture thanks man! Ive had for a few years now, definitely a favorite… think it was from one of their 2021 releases?

SUPER DUPER HEAVY 15.70Z SLUB YARN

This things THICK

@Denimhead-0 Looks great! It’s giving IB denim. Might just be my eyes, but basing off how dark that indigo is by looking at the cuff. Is it summer approved denim?

[yannis]

@RoxRocks86 I think he is referring to the t- shirt but I maybe wrong.

[Nobunaga]

@Denimhead-0 Looks great on you! I have this one also. The color is so good. I have to wear it as an under layer during the colder months since it is so thick. Plus, the neck hole is so big for me that I wear a shirt under it. I might need to pick up the green one at some point.

[RoxRocks86]

@yannis Ah, I believe you are correct! Didn’t realize tee’s could be slubby!

[Denimhead 0]

@RoxRocks86 The denim is IB, 666 14oz IB. The Tee is definitely better for fall

[RoxRocks86]

@Denimhead-0 gotcha! Thanks for the clarification!

[sabergirl]

How stretchy is it by comparison to the 1600 11oz IH tees @Denimhead-0 ?

[Jord]

@RoxRocks86 I have a samurai "slubby" crewneck, they're pretty cool, but a lot different in what you imagine of slub on jeans haha.

Nice tee @Denimhead-0

The chesnut selvedge is a very cool piece that I hope they run again someday. Super interested to see how that will age

Pretty firm out of the bag, limited stretch. Will report back after the wash and some more wear.

[sabergirl]

Thanks! I like that neck seems a little more relaxed. I have a hard time with the 1600 on some days.

Probably didn’t need another pair of heavy denim but they seemed to good to pass on. Did anyone else cop? Wondering how the the fabric is

[cyclops]

@warriors22 i....was about to pull the trigger on these over at denimio, but didnt want to start another 25oz just yet. Keen to get your thoughts though, i wonder what the fit is like....

[phoenixinflight]

I was definitely curious too but the cut looks a little slim for me. Gonna patiently wait for a 634-XHSib restock before taking the 25oz journey

[RoxRocks86]

@Jord lol might need to check out these slubby tees!
