-
@northsouthdenimguy fit looks spot on! Cant wait for mines
-
Who is excited on this?

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.

Option 2 for me. Buying something like this knowing I’m going to have to roll the dice shrinking, probably need to tailor regardless… That said, it’s going to be a stunner no doubt.

After careful consideration I will sit this one out. Too many nice things this autumn already. Giving someone a fighting chance for 2xl. Remember guys. shoppay!

@Chibs do you remember approximately how much length and width you lost in the shrink process? i'm b/w an XL and XXL...still not sure if i'm going to go for this one.
-
@dugafola yes! It’s actually earlier in this thread with before and after photos but I have it in my notes for an eventual review so here you go:
