In a similar boat. Size up and shrink but probably won’t shrink enough in length and may need a tailor or get my size and still probably need a tailor but may not be able to shrink in fear of getting too small in arms and chest.
Or just save my money and admire the photos people post.

Option 2 for me. Buying something like this knowing I’m going to have to roll the dice shrinking, probably need to tailor regardless… That said, it’s going to be a stunner no doubt.

After careful consideration I will sit this one out. Too many nice things this autumn already. Giving someone a fighting chance for 2xl. Remember guys. shoppay!
-
@Chibs do you remember approximately how much length and width you lost in the shrink process? i'm b/w an XL and XXL...still not sure if i'm going to go for this one.
-
@dugafola yes! It’s actually earlier in this thread with before and after photos but I have it in my notes for an eventual review so here you go:
Sashiko Ori Townes indigo size Medium
Before wash
Chest - 21.7
Shoulders -18
Length 31.3
Arms 26.4After hot wash and hot dry
Chest - 21.4
Shoulders - 17.8
Length 30
Arms - 25As @Mizmazzle says I went “nuclear” for maximum shrink and certainly got it.
Still long compared to my other western shirts but not enough to warrant tailoring. Now that I’m used to it, I actually low key dig the length. The sleeves are perfect now too. Probably my favourite thing SJ makes.
Wearing it now despite the warmer weather. Awesome shirt! -
I am really surprised by the availability still….
I think they have been dropping more stuff lately and maybe making more of it when they do. Regardless, I grabbed one and looking forward to it arriving!
-
Got a 2XL.
I think some people are just spending a little less right now. I don’t see nearly as many people I know trying to grab every release the way they used to with SJ and some of the other brands.
I’m still buying, but I approach it a little differently now. With a shirt like this, I’ll grab it, but I’ll also pull two or three things out of the closet to sell that I haven’t wore much in the last year.
-
@northsouthdenimguy that is exactly what I have been doing lately myself!
-
Can’t believe sizes still available…decided to pass on this but looks great
-
Couldn’t help myself. Got a 3xl and planning to hot soak it
-
Anyone know how much the Holcomb v2 Kuroki 15oz jeans might stretch? I can button them but they are very tight in the waist and top block.

Looks great

@northsouthdenimguy appreciate it!! Was worried that it would be a little big
-
@talexander thanks man!
Yeah the waxed Ramblin is great. Not nearly as heavy as the Wills. And a shorter styled jacket more suited for my body.
So I’m very glad I manage to score one when they were released. If you ever get your hands on one, I bet you would love it!
-
Got my sashiko townes back from hemming, what do you think? Love that fabric, so thick and soft
-
@FlavourFade Looks good. With a lot of forum members hemming theirs I am now starting to consider it. Would definitely increase the wearability of it.
