[Daniel San]

got this awesome shirt today
I have to say that it’s one of those pieces that surprised me the most in the past years.
had one of the blanket lined shirts, but this is much better!! it’s heavy and soft and I guess it will fade gorgeous
keep you updated….

Is it nuts that I'm contemplating the WS when I've got the Western already.

[alexpupin]

I never wore a shirt this long.
Usually I get slightly bored and willing to rotate quickly.
Not with this 368

[Supersonic]

@alexpupin I'm loving this one too, have you washed it yet? What's your plan with washing this thing? COLD WITH NO SPIN?

[WhiskeySandwich]

I’ve been wearing this almost daily as my leave-at-work layer, and have gathered a handful of snags. When I finally wash this, which I will refrain from for as long as freakin possible, it will be by hand only. I’m going to reverse the snags to the inside of the fabric and keep on trucking.

[alexpupin]

@Supersonic no washes yet, but that time is fast approaching. Sniffing armpits every morning, so far so good.

I’m still undecided as to machine wash the shirt with the daily 20’ cycle at 30°C with the lowest spinning program or hand soak it and maybe slow spin it to dry it faster.
I’ll probably decide based on how long I’ll go further wearing it.

Can’t remember how @AdamC washed his 368.

[Daniel San]

I would do as always
inside out , soak before wash !
30-40 degrees, NO SPIN !
can’t go wrong with this procedure

[Supersonic]

@alexpupin I'm way behind you on the wears, so would appreciate you letting me know how you get on when you come to wash it.

I'm likely to air on the side of caution though!

[alexpupin]

@Supersonic will keep y’all updated

@Daniel-San no spin then I’ll follow your guidance

[AdamC]

@alexpupin I did 30 degrees inside out with a very low spin, my washing machine isn’t too aggressive, dried flat back the correct way and didn’t notice any tightening at all

[endo]

presoaked @AdamC ?

[AdamC]

@endo I didn’t pre soak mine but i would do it I was being extra cautious

[Supersonic]

Still pretty new to this stuff, what's the crack with a pre soak? Literally just soaking it in the tub before whacking it into the wash?

[Supersonic]

@alexpupin Nice one man.

[Daniel San]

@Supersonic
it prevents marbling and white lines.
just soak until completely wet, and then into the washing machine

[Supersonic]

@Daniel-San nice one man, ill bear this in mind when the time comes.

@AdamC/anyone else - how does this compare in terms of the material of the 295-IB? I love the 295 and wonder whether this compares/competes with it?

[tody]

Totally different, not a denim feel to this fabric. A lot softer, and with more pronounced texture.
