@Pinkpan nice one
-
I recently got this and wanted to share. I have had the Fargo from Indigofera a few times in the past but it never sticks because I always felt it was too long and the pockets are too low. I have the rider version with the lining and I wear it like a chore coat so it works great.
However, Indigofera just released this cropped version of the Fargo and I literally could not contain my excitement. It‘s awesome for anyone looking for their wrangler style jackets but in a shorter version. So good!

@BalticBob that looks really good on you man
-
@Graeme yes I saw that one first. It‘s amazing but there is no way I could pull that off
-
@BalticBob go on, you know that you want to!

Peace all, have any of you fine individuals any experience in washing one of their blankets? I figure there might be someone here who picked up the IH one at some point in time and might be able to shed some tips and/or tricks.

@deadendpro I normally get my woollen blankets dry cleaned.

^ that makes things easy! Thanks Graeme!

If you’re going to wash it yourself, this is the safest way I’ve found for wool (especially indigo-dyed)
way better off just getting the dry cleaning if it’s convenient
Below is something I looked up a while back when I first bought one of the Indigofera blankets
Water
• Cold water only — never warm or hotDetergent
• Wool-specific detergent only
(Eucalan, Soak, Woolite Delicates — not regular Woolite)Washing method
1. Fill a tub with cold water and add detergent
2. Gently submerge the blanket
3. Let it soak for about 10 minutes
4. Very light swishing only — no agitation
5. Drain, then refill with cold water to rinse
6. Press water out gently — never wringExpect some indigo bleed on the first wash.
Drying (this is where most people ruin wool)
• Lay flat on thick towels
• Roll towel + blanket to absorb excess water
• Lay flat again to dry
• No hanging
• No dryer
• Keep it away from heat and direct sunlightSlow, gentle, and boring is the goal here. Anything involving heat or agitation is how wool gets permanently damaged.

@northsouthdenimguy much appreciated!

So I'm thinking of getting a Gunpowder Hakw, as I want a pair of jeans with a slight bootcut. Would highly appreciate if anyone could share experiences regarding shrinkage and general sizing for Indigofera and the Gunpowder denim. As the rise seems rather high I feel like I could go with a 32 inseam, but wouldn't want to risk a too shirt inseam after washing, especially with a bootcut.
On a sidenote: would have loved to get the IH bootcut or boss cut but these seem to be extinct? (I don't follow much anymore and my "style" is obviously always out of fashion)
-
@Max-Power Correct…not so much extinct but very much not a priority. As the old adage goes, never say never…but.

@Max-Power exactly
-
So, thanks to a fast delivery by Pancho and Lefty here's me in a Hawk, 35/32. I really dig the cut and fit. Tried a few different tops too...it's been years since I actually took photos of jeans and I might be a bit rusty haha.
The length is OK, I wouldn't want it longer, yet there shouldn't be too much shrinkage...
-
So, I really love the fot of the Hawk and was tempted to go a little further into the bootcut territory and got me the Wyatt. The rise is crazy long (comfy but very unusual to me) and the leg opening is wider. Still, I think it could grow on me...
For comparison: the Hawk after some breaking in.
-
@Max-Power those should settle in nicely. I like that look in you albeit different from your normal cuts.

Thanks a lot

I bought this flannel shirt from Private White & Co at the end of September last year. When I first tried it on, one of the snaps popped off while I was taking the shirt off. I pressed it back on and told myself to remember that snap when I actually went to wear the shirt. Fast forward two months, I not only forgot about that snap, but I managed to pop two more off as well.
Long story short, I reached out to Private White & Co and they were supposed to ship me replacement snaps, but they never did. At the same time, I reached out to Indigofera and Fredrik(North American rep?) told me that if Private White did not get me what I needed, to reach back out and he would take care of it.
Now fast forward almost 30 days later and still no snaps from Private White. After a couple of emails back and forth, Fredrik sent me a return label this morning and said he is going to take care of it. He responded quickly and is willing to handle it. Hopefully it all works out. I will keep all you Indigofera fans posted. I know this is really interesting. Fantastic stuff sorry but waiting for my 10 o’clock.
