@jfk1117 do you have a history with the SDA work shirt cut?
With mine, it’s quite a bit roomier in the midsection with a more generous opening than my IH work shirts. It took a bit of getting used to, but I really like it overall.
-
@jordanscollected yes have a few. I find I can go one of two routes. A 42 which fits more standard in areas off the rack but be more “cropped” in length, which I don’t mind with some heavier fabrics or the 44 which is roomier but more length appropriate etc. I have also found with the 44 that if I wash and do a brief dryer finish when mostly dry from air, I can get the shrink I need. Then it’ll never see the dryer again.

i did the same thing with my kakishibu work shirt. hot wash and hot dry shortened the length and sleeves and brought in the chest every so slightly.

@dugafola Anyone tried this with the Kakishibu Sashiko jacket? Unsure about how shrink might affect the sashiko stitching, but I wouldn't mind with bringing it up and in just a bit.
-
@indigo_fades the one shashiko shirt I have from SDA I have only washed in cold water and low spin. I’d be weary to toss it in the dryer or put high spin on. Mine even with wear has shown fraying at some of the stabs. I’d imagine those actions would fray it more. However possible since it’s newer that it could hold up a little better. Not sure that helps or not.

@CosmoSix5 I ended up grabbing this shirt in Osaka back in February. Such incredible texture and inconsistency in how the fabric takes the dye. It's nice to have a piece that is already quite evolved and not have to focus on fading! SDA is a great brand and were my gateway into this world.

Repost from the introduction thread wearing the shirt and my 634S 21oz I picked up in Hachioji!

Kakishibu work shirt today. Anyone pick up the mud dyed Sashiko jeans? I cheaped out due to the price and fit/cut. Beautiful though...

Wasn’t exactly sure what to expect with this brand especially for the price. AUD$200 with delivery included via DHL seemed too good to be true.
Japan to Aus in 4 days.
Absolutely stoked
-
nice redbacks
-
Finally rolled up today.
Wow, I am very impressed with this one too.
It’s heating up pretty quickly down this way though so it might be sometime before I can put it into rotation.Has yours rolled up yet?

@cyclops
Been trying out a whole bunch of different Japanese clothing brands lately and my first Big John flannel has definitely exceeded expectations.
UES have said they will restock again in November so I’ll jump on those too.
Been collecting flannels for many years now and the search never seems completeAny other brands worth looking out for?
-
@Rustygate37 Got mine too and love it. I’ll get some pics soon.

@Rustygate37 i did buy the large in red/rust but denimio had the size chart wrong so i had to return mine. Now im saving for iron heart flannels haha. It looks amazing though
The other one i missed out on is the full count flannels. They got snapped up too quickly. The blue/brown one and the ecru/yellow one....they looked nice....
