@northsouthdenimguy It's perfect, and I would have sized the same. This is a legacy piece, and will be appreciated for many years. Congrats!

@northsouthdenimguy looks very solid. Mine comes tomorrow and I’m so excited

@northsouthdenimguy I picked up one of the denim Townes as well. It's a beautiful shirt! Wear it in good health.

@hgering27 nice! A couple buddies of mine also get theirs today.

Looks great!
I’m debating hot washing. I still want to get a little bit out of the arm(width)but afraid it might shrink the chest and the arm length too much. I may just have to experiment a bit to get the fit dialed in exactly how I want it, but I think there’s enough room to do it.

@atm23 congrats so funny that everybody(me included) gets so excited about a shirt
️Heh, sometimes it's the little things in life. I find that a well-made garment - that fits - is satisfying.
With all this Ship John denim shirt talk, I should bust out my red denim Townes and see if it fits these days. It's a killer shirt with great fade potential, but it's an early SJ piece and the patterning is much different than it is now. It's snug in the armpits, which I can't tell if it's the shoulder measurements or just small arm holes.

@northsouthdenimguy yeah its worth trying, it seems to have more so affected the length and the arm volume in my opinion. otherwise still fits great. the way I see it is if the chest has room for shrink, then it worth trying, but for me thats where I tend to have the most issues, but it was the same thing with the stripe townes I have, started out way big, and now after washes it fits perfectly

It’s probably a flaw in my brain or personality, but the perfect fit and feel of clothing and footwear ranks very high among the things I enjoy
It’s interesting to see how some of these makers evolve. Over the years I’ve tried quite a few that didn’t have the right fit, but I often wonder if they’ve changed or improved and if I might be missing out.
Really looking forward to the black Sashiko and the Kristofferson, hoping those fit well or I can adjust them with washing and drying as needed.

@northsouthdenimguy indeed. But you’re giving me some serious fomo with the sashiko mention. I’m still salty that I missed out while my payment was processing.
I look forward to the pictures.

@northsouthdenimguy agreed man, I am eagerly awaiting the sashiko and kristofferson
