@pechelman no their fleece are unwashed and shrink significantly

@pechelman oh maybe they changed. I'd love that. Sizing this fleece is notoriously difficult otherwise.

Here are some care instructions for TSG loopwheel, probably applicable to all loopwheel.

One interesting thing they mentioned is that they alternate s and z weaves to reduce skew. Reminiscent of broken twill. Another interesting thing is that they use vintage Union Specials on the seams. I've always admired how tight, small, and flat the seams are so that was interesting.

Just notice how beastly this thing looks right now

Here are my raw unwashed unsoaked SG9903s after about 4 months wear. They lose more indigo at wear points every day.

Picked up a pair of strike gold earth series. The denim is beyond awesome to admire, the details to appreciate are numerous but my question is….. has anyone out there been able to adapt to this front and rear rise on the 09 series. I’m Size 33 or 34 in an iron heart 777 and thought with a size 36 on these the compensation would be justified. Does not feel that way.
