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.

@hgering27 looks amazing man! Suits you so good!
-
Folks who got soaked your ori hat, how did it turn out? Did it affect the shape of the crown?
-
@jdwaid I did soak mine and throw it in the dryer which resulted in a much better fit overall.
-
@hgering27 looks great - I haven't taken mine off for weeks now, although it is starting to move a bit more into Kristofferson season here recently
-
@Darth-fader man I wish, still not quite there where I am, but I am ready to start wearing mine again. I wish it was a size down, but itll be a solid layer for when it gets much cooler out
-
@hgering27 I get compliments or questions about mine every time I’m out.
-
I soaked my hat and it fits and looks much better.
-
I don’t think this one’s gonna need a hot soak and dry. maybe a luke warm soak. I really like this fabric doesn’t really feel waxy, but feels like it’s something in there not quite like the Guthries.
This is a XXL
-
Imagine that a dry waxed shirt does not want water to penetrate it. Who knew?
-
lol super interested with how the soaking goes and if it effects the sizing much at all. My large gets in Monday and I can’t wait
-
@northsouthdenimguy so my friend got his and did a hot wash and it shrunk considerably. I’m getting my hands on mine later today and going to likely do the same but seems like the dryer might not be necessary based on his results

I need to press it, but I feel like it tightened it up a bit. This was only a warm soak and hang/fan dry. I bet you could get a bunch of shrink out of it. I don’t want the arm length to shrink, so I will only cold wash and hang dry in the future.
I really like this fabric. It’s like a heavy fatigue cloth. IMO

@northsouthdenimguy I just got home to open mine and it’s awesome, but one of the snaps came clean off… happened in my first sashiko also and they sorted it out but I’m still a little salty I’ll now have to wait to wear it, but it is a very nice material
-
Bummer…
-
@hgering27 should be getting mines on Monday and will probably jst do a hot soak as well after hearing this
-
@northsouthdenimguy fit looks spot on! Cant wait for mines
-
