I machine wash and dry my Gutheries so I assume I will be able to do the same with this shirt.
-
@northsouthdenimguy awesome. I’ve just never machine washed or dried anything waxed so wanted to see what others game plan was
-
@Darth-fader Yes, very much agreed. I’m no fan of big social media, and made the choice to unplug from all of that, so I miss out on drops and such.
I suspect Mike drops product like that because it’s easier to announce on IG, and queue up his e-commerce system to drop at the same time, saving him the need to pull together an email, send it, etc.
Where I get hung up isn’t missing drops altogether, after all my only interaction with the brand is via email or in-shpp, it’s when your order is cancelled on check-out. I keep mentioning this but it burned me too much to forgive and forget, despite it seemingly such a small thing. I’ve often thought of selling all of my pieces out of spite. No other brand, of any kind, has me feeling that strongly.

@hgering27 I’m in the same boat as you! I want the chest to be a little smaller and was thinking of doing the same wash hot and dry. Kinda afraid that will ruin the wax but worse come to worse I’ll use it as a top layer piece. Either way I’m excited for this townes
-
At least with the Guthries dry wax, I haven’t really noticed any meaningful loss of the finish or any damage to the fabric from washing and machine drying it.
-
@northsouthdenimguy that’s good enough for me. I’ll be hot washing and drying this guy when it gets in
-
Now I’m scared.. let’s talk about it before you do it lol
-
@northsouthdenimguy hahaha that works for me. I’m not really too worried. The care instructions don’t say anything about specifically not washing or drying unless you don’t want it to shrink, which I do. But I’ll circle back here once it comes in
-
@northsouthdenimguy I really wanted this one but skipped it because I’m always between sizes so I just shrink the larger size and it’s usually perfect. With the wax I didn’t know what would happen even though the care details say you can do it, it made me nervous haha. Looking forward to seeing both of your results!
-
@northsouthdenimguy hearing this I’m most likely going to wash/ dry it if the fit is not right. Did u get a good amount of shrinkage with the Guthrie?im still waiting on my pair to get hemmed
-
Nothing crazy, but they tightened up a bit. I didn’t measure them pre-or post wash/dry.
-
@Northman That's on my want list , hopefully I manage to get one.
