@northsouthdenimguy that’s good enough for me. I’ll be hot washing and drying this guy when it gets in
-
Now I’m scared.. let’s talk about it before you do it lol
-
@northsouthdenimguy hahaha that works for me. I’m not really too worried. The care instructions don’t say anything about specifically not washing or drying unless you don’t want it to shrink, which I do. But I’ll circle back here once it comes in
-
@northsouthdenimguy I really wanted this one but skipped it because I’m always between sizes so I just shrink the larger size and it’s usually perfect. With the wax I didn’t know what would happen even though the care details say you can do it, it made me nervous haha. Looking forward to seeing both of your results!
-
@northsouthdenimguy hearing this I’m most likely going to wash/ dry it if the fit is not right. Did u get a good amount of shrinkage with the Guthrie?im still waiting on my pair to get hemmed
-
Nothing crazy, but they tightened up a bit. I didn’t measure them pre-or post wash/dry.
-
@Northman That's on my want list , hopefully I manage to get one.

Guys,
There’s a large Townes Western Shirt - Tan 11oz Dry Wax Cotton Canvas available on the website now… -
Hat delivery day, its in a hot soak now.
-
Got mine today. Matching the black sashiko ori shirt. It is TALL. I always thought I had a tall head, but this is quite a bit taller. Hot soak and hot dried. Definitely helped, but I might do it again.
-
Camo hats in stock
-
Thanks for the heads up! I’m a sucker for Ship John hats. I grabbed this one while I could.
-
Wish it was something other than camo, ah well
-
Well I bought the camo hat. Not really sure if its my thing because I usually wear the dad cap style. Does anyone have experience with bending the bill a bit to your liking?
I don't have a small head but I hope it's not huge. Luckily the crown on these I guess isn't as tall as the sashiko. Would not make sense to shrink a waxed hat anyway. -
@Northman These will fit much different than the sashiko hats. The sashiko ones are funky to start but break in really nice after some wear. These aren’t going to really change shape, but you can adjust the bill if you’d like.
-
@Danimal506 Yeah ok bending the bill yeah I might do that. Poten, dehen etc are usually way too small for my head. Stetson works well. No experience with SJ.
-
Maybe the sashiko can fit you well because it starts so big? Hopefully. I’ll be putting a WTB thread out shortly for a black sashiko hat. I love the way my indigo one fits. I’m generally a 7 3/8 in a new era fitted hat.
One thing I like about the bill is that it holds its rigidity after getting wet. I hand wash my hats like once a year and the bill is still sturdy.

Can’t stop wearing the ramblin
