The Godspeed Company / Shop Rag Shirt

[ConradBain]

Their first run is just about cleared out, but have a look and keep an eye out for the second one.  (I didn't tell you this, but they may even be considering a different color in the future…)

I picked one up and Chris, the co-owner, was awesome enough to meet me for a local try-on.  I'm usually a Large in IH - and I grabbed an XL in this, but I could have totally worn the Large for just a touch more tailored fit.

How they built the fabric and the shirt itself is pretty insane and at first wear, it already feels like I've been wearing it for months.  They triple-weaved the weight of the shop rag... It has a really unique weight and feel and I'm anticipating it breaking in beautifully.  Check it out -

Fresh out of the ominous black box! The fabric has a nice heft but a loose weave. The color is fairly subdued for a red shirt and has great fade potential. I sizes up to a large and I like the fit everywhere but the shoulders which could be a bit tighter. There is no way I could have stayed at a medium though as the shirt has a fair amount of taper.

Cool shirt! I really like the idea of transforming a utilitarian fabric this way. Looks good, man.
