I got my black denim Townes tonight. I bought an XL and it is quite roomy. I am going to give it a warm wash and dry to see if I can shrink it. Anyone else get theirs?
-
@fades-of-glory I just finished a second hot wash and machine dry on mine and it shrunk a pretty big amount I’d say, but yeah it was quite roomy to start
-
@hgering27 I’m happy with my results after a quick wash on warm and then about 20 minutes in the dryer on medium.
-
@hgering27 did the second cycle do much for you? I have an XL that's just too roomy at this point. After the first wash/dry
-
@ozai it made a slight difference, but not much. I am on the fence about sending it in to get hemmed, but leaning towards just sending it at this point
-
Warm soaking now. Should be good. I’ll post again after it’s dry and pressed, probably tomorrow. I don’t mind the current length, but I do prefer my shirts a little longer.

@northsouthdenimguy shirt looks sharp, a bit bummed I missed it
-
@dirtyframer might be worth coming to Portland after they open. Worth a shot at seeing if they have it in store. If I remember right, you're not all that far away.
-
@ozai will be down there in a few weeks!

@ozai
Yes XXLReminds me of the black denim Indigofera used to use for their Ryman shirt years back

Going to make the Ramblin my primary fall jacket this year. I’m a sucker for broken twill anything.
-
This is a highly underrated shirt
-
@northsouthdenimguy looks good, I’ve been going back and forth still. I did a second hot wash and dry and got a little more shrink, I know still hard to see because of the dark denim… I just can’t decide if it’s worth shortening a little bit
-
I think it looks good, especially since that’s how you like to wear yours. You prefer a little roomier fit than I do, so I think the length works well with it. To me, if it were much shorter, it might look a little odd with the roomier cut.
But that’s really just personal preference. So much of this comes down to aesthetics and how each of us likes our clothes to fit and wear.
-
@northsouthdenimguy thats kind of what I'm thinking also, I don't want it to turn into a boxy silhouette. I can wear it as is with a tshirt under, or I can wear a hoody under it for more of an overshirt style. I think I am going to keep it this way. I can always hem down the road if I change my mind
-
@Phil_NYC looks sick!
-
@Brock thanks! Got a long way to go to look as cool as your denim Wills with the sashiko repair on the pocket. That thing looks amazing.

I did a cold soak and fan dry, but I think I’m going to go back and do a warm or hot soak. I feel like I just need to take a little bit more out of it overall. The sleeves are actually pretty decent length-wise right now, so hopefully I won’t lose too much there.
Also, something I thought the other day was just a white mark is actually a small flaw in the shirt. I noticed it in the photo I posted on here, but I didn’t pay attention to it when I turned it inside out to soak it.
It doesn’t go all the way through or anything. It’s more like a little pull or flaw on the outside of the fabric. Quite honestly, I’ve got one of those black clothing pens, so I’m just going to touch it up and move on.
I’m wondering if I should at least let them know about it, but I really don’t care that much. If it were another type of shirt or fabric, I’d probably be more concerned, but with this I know it’ll basically disappear once I hit it with the pen.
I also don’t want to take the risk of either not being able to get another one or getting a replacement that has some weird fit issue. This one fits well enough that it’s just not worth it to me.

@northsouthdenimguy yea that’s a bit of a bummer. When I received my Guthries it had a weird fold on one of the legs and i flipped them inside out n seen this
The other side is normalIg: 5hunnit00
