wow, withered fig and blue owl sold out of theirs in like a minute. The thirst for the Tricotine is real.

Currently soaking mine - no indigo came out at all (its prewashed so perhaps not surprising). Its gonna be a bitch to dry today though in the cold. Skip the soak.

EDIT: Some indigo came out in the end. Soak optional

@will6er any shrinkage? Did you do a warm soak? Or cold?

Warm but not super warm. Hard to say I didn't measure but I doubt it.

got mine today what a great shirt !!!
love the fabric, very unique
It was a good decision to order size 4 and 5 , from the measurements I thought 5 would be good but it’s too big . The 4 fits 100% perfect and I can even wear a long sleeve henley under it which is great for work. post some fit pics tomorrow after an initial soak.

@Daniel-San what are your metrics if you don’t mind sharing?

[samo]

As someone that is relatively new to this, can someone one educate me on why you guys soak a pre-washed shirt like this? Thx!

[dugafola]

@samo UES recommends a soak to get some
Of the ink out. But it will most likely still bleed a bit after the fact.

@dugafola
I’am 1,76m and weighing around 90kg at the moment ‍‍️ . that’s all can provide at the moment.
But I wouldn’t give too much on those comparisons. It’s the measurements that really counts and the cut of the clothes.

[Chibs]

@Daniel-San maybe I should soak mine too. Do you just submerge in warm water or do you agitate in there as well?

[Daniel San]

@Chibs
I put it in the washing machine on handwash program with 30 degrees.
just took some pictures now that’s what I call blue water . There is only one shirt that bleeds as much as the Tricotine and that’s the Kersey

[Chibs]

Wow!

[will6er]

@Daniel-San Wow... I just soaked for 40 mins, no agitation. Maybe should have done more... Anyway, its dry now ready for wear tomorrow so thats that.

[cyclops]

@Daniel-San does....the shirt look visibily less indigo?

[Daniel San]

@cyclops
it’s still wet, so I don’t know but I don’t think so . we’ll see tomorrow

Thank you.

Sorry last photo has my Oni jacket over the tricotine.

[MSav32323]

@stitchdown.shell looks so good… mine got delivered today from a Japanese third party service, stoked. Did you give it a soak and rinse?

[stitchdown.shell]

@MSav32323 Thanks! I bought mine in the last restock. It was definitely crunchy and the collar was very stiff. I just wore and it softened up. Never soaked it and have not washed it since new. Prob about 20-25 wears on it.

[MSav32323]

@stitchdown.shell oh nice ok, that helps know what to expect! Is the indigo bleed a nightmare? Just wearing it with dark undershirts? I’m slightly terrified haha
