Fell in love with these Swearengen Pants from the moment I saw them and fortunately a few shops here in the US were restocked so I treated myself. Top notch construction! It would be cool to get a vest and jacket in the same fabric to have a nice little western suit for my Arizona self.

Pretty stoked to get my grubby little mits on this. I've wanted an anorak shirt for a while now. The painted buttons are killer. Thanks to Ropedye for the inspiration.

I was eyeing that one up too @Filthy, unfortunately Pancho and Lefty are out of my size.
The Grant Jacket looks great too.

@Graeme major bummer.
I always say "major bummer" when things are sad because the expression makes me laugh, ever since I had a friend from England tell me it means something entirely different over there.

When I am not working I avoid this place as much as I can. I don't need the temptation.

The construction and materials of the shirt are excellent. I am particularly impressed by the fabric. I could have gotten away with a size XL but this will definitely shrink and will be perfect for layering. Probably too warm for summer.

Indigofera gets an A+/good buy from me. Also Poncho and Lefty ships very fast… no bs.

Shirt looks great @Filthy! I've always been a big fan of Indigofera, unfortunately it's been one of the rare brands that doesn't quite fit me (too big).

Yeah I was pleasantly surprised. Truth be told the shoulders were a little unruly… it looked like I was wearing shoulder pads. But it seems I got about a half an inch of shrink. So this should pull the shoulders in slightly. I was gonna throw it in the dryer. But there's a ton of indigo bleed and I know this will get streaky because the indigo is so dark.
This was the water in the pot during the soak. -
I hot machine washed my shirt (on gentle and no spin) and put it in the dryer. I got a an inch of shrink pit to pit and lots of great puckering and roping.

Here is a sneak peek of the shirt I was talking about in the Random Question thread. Many thanks to Fredrik from Indigofera for trying to help me find one. It only took 4 tries to finally cop one…

That's rad. Though I generally prefer how IH does it, I've mentioned that IH should try a flannel with the quarter-turned placket, it's a great vintage look, especially when the orientation matches a turned yoke and pockets as most IH Westerns have.
