@northsouthdenimguy yeah no tracking on mine either yet
-
i received tracking on my black denim townes, says a shipping label has been created.
-
Skipped the wax townes because I was in-between sizes. kicking myself now since I realized it would be the perfect PNW overshirt

They’re just super tall. I did the same thing with my Sashiko hat from two years ago.

A hot soak brought it down.

Looks good! shrunk up very nicely. I need some cooler weather so I can start wearing mine…
In other news, the Black Townes finally went out yesterday. I should have it by Tuesday.
I was gonna reach out to SJ/Mike about it a couple days ago but I kind of get the whole Seinfeld “Soup Nazi” vibes from him. I figured he’d just be like “No Townes for you!”

@northsouthdenimguy thanks man very happy with how it turned out. I got my black denim in yesterday also. It was massive to start. I did a hot wash and dry but it’s a tad long still. Debating wearing as is, doing another hot wash and dry, or sending to railcar to hem. Can’t decide if I think a second hot wash and dry wil do anything, any advice or suggestions?

It’s hard to see it against the dark pants, but I think I would just hot wash the crap out of it and dry it for like an hour and see where it ends up…
From the looks of it, I don’t think you can over shrink it. You’ve got a good bit of room in it still.
-
@northsouthdenimguy thats kind of what I was thinking, and if after a second hot wash/hot dry it doesnt shrink then I think I would send it in to railcar. I just wasnt sure if it was worth a second wash/dry

Sashiko Ori Hat is starting to take shape after hot soak
-
@northsouthdenimguy he's a good dude, when im in PDX (every other month or so) I go and chat with him and Yella
-
I’m sure he is. All I know of him is what I’ve seen through interactions on Instagram and other places, and quite honestly, if I had to deal with most of these yahoos, I’d probably make Mike look like Mr. Rogers.

@northsouthdenimguy im with ya 100% been in construction for 30 years which certainly weathers you and diminishes patience for ignorance rather quickly.

@hgering27 Arms seem about right. I can't tell how it fits around the body. If it's still sort of "bulky" I'd do another hot soak otherwise (if it fits everywhere else) I'd just send to Railcar and get it to the correct length.
-
@northsouthdenimguy I feel like the response via email is different (more customer service positive) than the response via social media...It personally doesn't bother me but I could see how it could be misinterpreted...
-
@rahrah12 yeah its got a little volume in the body still, but fits well across the chest/shoulders which is generally the way I size my shirts. The length shrunk up a bit, but I'd like to get a little more.
I am going to try to do another longer hot wash and a longer hot dry tonight and evaluate, but Railcar did a great job on both of my sashikos so I know it would be in good hands
