Looks great!  I love the color and texture of that fabric. Flattering cut, too.

Nice! What size did you go for on each item?

[jay-cy]

Thanks all!
Yes, the fabric of the Guthries is fantastic. I expect a nice creasing and stacking.
I went for size 34 in the pants. It‘s a 36 waist. Initial one hour cold soak led to about 1/3 inch shrinkage but easily stretched back to 36. Ellen was so nice to give me the „real“ measurements - very nice service there.
I had the unhemmed but 36.5 was too long since I don‘t want to fold it. Now it‘s 34.5 inseam.
The shirt is an XL. Still has some room to wear it over another shirt as a light jacket. It‘s not as thightly cut as IH shirts but I like it this way.
With IH I am size 44 in jackets & shirts and 36 in pants.

I love those @jay-cy
I have a pair in my basket on the Ship John website, but VAT, duty and carriage is brutal and I’ve stalled.

[jay-cy]

yessir! Getting them to Europe adds another 50-60% on the price tag. Shipping around 45 bucks, 15% customs, 19% tax… 
But how did you get one in your basket? They‘re sold out at the moment...

[Streetwise Hercules]

Some sizes are available it seems.

£150 for the jeans, £115 to get them to me.

Hmmph.

Jesus that’s crazy! Here’s hoping when the black Townes shirt is back in stock Aussie customs don’t screw me….

[Streetwise Hercules]

Sorted.
Having them delivered to a friend of my better half who lives in LA and is travelling to England on Saturday.

Bosh.

@jay-cy my Guthries have arrived and I love them. A little bit of shrinkage and they’ll be perfect. I see you’ve cold soaked yours, but have you washed them yet? Just wondering what to expect before I try anything.

[jay-cy]

I just gave them a 2 hour cold soak and then line dried. Nut much shrinkage.
According to Ellen there‘s not much shrinkage to expect with this fabric. I assume maybe about half an inch after a 40 degree wash. It stretches a bit with 3 weeks of wear now but not much. Again about half an inch at max…

[Streetwise Hercules]

Thank you.
I’ll report back if I discover anything wildly different.

Black waxed Townes coming soon… I think I’m in

Saw that!  I was hoping they'd do a Townes in a light grey.

[jay-cy]

well, unfortunately black projects at the moment…
was hoping for a quick restock in the tan Wray vests but Mike is planning other materials before a re-run.
Received the last pair of Guthrie denims in my size - simply great patterns!!

Levon, Nelson, Paycheck, Townes, Wills, Waylon… SJ has impeccable music taste.

Wray vest back in action!

One of the greatest vests on the market IMO.
Waiting for the return of a tan XL. No idea when this will happen. The announced blacks are not my sort of thing, and according to Mike there are plans for other textures before a re-run of the twill tans… 

[Paul9221]

Bunch of new stuff going up for pre-order on Friday!  Black and indigo Wray vests, black and tan Townes shirts @eyeq8402 , I'm looking at you!

I was looking at their IG feed but didn't see an indigo vest, only black.  Anyone have pics of it?

[Palmer]

I'm definitely getting some of the Shaver jeans. Probably one in indigo and one in black.
