@hgering27 that Y2 is bad ass!

[RubyRae]

@marco23d perfection, praying they might do another run of these in future. everything Mike puts out is so good these days.

[RubyRae]

@bluemantra I think you will be fine. Do wash and hang dry, and if need more do a wash and use warm dryer. I think you be pleasantly surprised how 1-2" in length will help, but very minimal in chest and shoulders. Beautiful shirt! One of the best.

Broken twill how I love you!

Not much evo on my broken twill…though I have grown to like the hat more as the denim has relaxed.

Maybe I’ll break out/ in my sashiko version at some point. Anyone got some close up evo shots of theirs to share?

[Danimal506]

@Mizmazzle I wear my Sashiko at home everyday. I’ll try to post some daylight pics tomorrow. It’s got a little bit of evo going.

That broken twill is looking real nice!!! I have not touched mine yet. What has been done to yours, as far as washing and wearing?

[bluemantra]

@Mizmazzle how did you get yours to be not as tall? That’s why mine hasn’t gotten much wear.

[Mizmazzle]

@Danimal506 @bluemantra
I soaked mine in near boiling water for a few minutes then set it out in the sun to dry. It was still a bit tall for my liking so I soaked it in near boiling water again a couple weeks after the first time.

I’ve worn it hiking and around town etc on days I wanted to wear a hat. Probably 2-3 times a week.

I wasn’t loving it for quite a while. But it’s relaxed and taken some shape and I’m really digging it now.

Speaking of evolution, been wearing my Sashiko ori almost daily. Just did a hot wash and dry to try to get a little more shrink out of it and can start to see some of the fading. Also wearing the ship John lug sole wesco

[Danimal506]

@Mizmazzle I got to take some sunlight pictures today. I think I may wash it soon because I’ve been using it quite a bit lately and it’s getting hot out. And that’ll help get some more evo going.

[Mizmazzle]

@Danimal506 damn! That looks dope as hell. I’ve been on the fence about letting mine go. Your pics have fully changed my mind.

Did you soak it when you got it?
