@jdwaid I did soak mine and throw it in the dryer which resulted in a much better fit overall.
-
@hgering27 looks great - I haven't taken mine off for weeks now, although it is starting to move a bit more into Kristofferson season here recently
-
@Darth-fader man I wish, still not quite there where I am, but I am ready to start wearing mine again. I wish it was a size down, but itll be a solid layer for when it gets much cooler out
-
@hgering27 I get compliments or questions about mine every time I’m out.
-
I soaked my hat and it fits and looks much better.
-
I don’t think this one’s gonna need a hot soak and dry. maybe a luke warm soak. I really like this fabric doesn’t really feel waxy, but feels like it’s something in there not quite like the Guthries.
This is a XXL
-
Imagine that a dry waxed shirt does not want water to penetrate it. Who knew?
-
lol super interested with how the soaking goes and if it effects the sizing much at all. My large gets in Monday and I can’t wait
-
@northsouthdenimguy so my friend got his and did a hot wash and it shrunk considerably. I’m getting my hands on mine later today and going to likely do the same but seems like the dryer might not be necessary based on his results

I need to press it, but I feel like it tightened it up a bit. This was only a warm soak and hang/fan dry. I bet you could get a bunch of shrink out of it. I don’t want the arm length to shrink, so I will only cold wash and hang dry in the future.
I really like this fabric. It’s like a heavy fatigue cloth. IMO

@northsouthdenimguy I just got home to open mine and it’s awesome, but one of the snaps came clean off… happened in my first sashiko also and they sorted it out but I’m still a little salty I’ll now have to wait to wear it, but it is a very nice material
-
Bummer…
-
@hgering27 should be getting mines on Monday and will probably jst do a hot soak as well after hearing this
-
@northsouthdenimguy fit looks spot on! Cant wait for mines
-
Who is excited on this?
Never been released in a black denim before. The SJ denim Townes in a black warp/black weft 11oz Japanese denim.
Available Wednesday, September 16 at 3PM PDT

I will definitely try for one
-
@mecken88 going to try to get one.
Here is mt 2017 SJ Townes Black Denim twill with the sleeves shortened due elbow blow out.
-
Love the shirt. Might try as well.
One thing though is the length on these. I just don't get it. 2XLs are longer than IH SP-Large cpos.
I rock my sashiko townes just fine but man these are always loooong. I am a tall fella 190cm thats maybe 6'2 or 6'3 almost idk.
Perfect shirt length I have is a freenote XXL western which is 29.50.
Anyway enough about that, maybe it will shrink a bit and who cares anyway I guess. -
Hello Ship Johns. I like this shirt!!
Served as a very comfortable light jacket this AM.
@Northman yea, I looked at the length in that upcoming black denim and they’re 2 inches longer than similarly sized shirts from Iron Heart. It’s what they’re going for I guess.. You can shrink it or take it to a tailor I suppose. I shrunk mine, the arms are perfect now and the length is okay.
️ -
In a similar boat. Size up and shrink but probably won’t shrink enough in length and may need a tailor or get my size and still probably need a tailor but may not be able to shrink in fear of getting too small in arms and chest.
Or just save my money and admire the photos people post.
