@Sam:

Also! Is that a Tom Pigeon print on the wall? @Wlemon

Yes, sir. A place down here called "Matters of Space" sells his prints. We got the last two.

Looks very good. Great fit.

Thanks! I don't know how to tag you, Neph93, but thanks for the complement.

@Wlemon just type @ and the username but with no spaces

Hey, @Alex, thank you!

@Wlemon Looks great! I got mine in the mail yesterday. Great furnishings as well!

The shrink-test specimen looks like it didn't take too kindly to machine-washing. Why might that be, in this particular case?

Thanks, @atm23!

The fabric is unwashed and only lightly sanforised so shrinkage was expected. The advice with this is to treat as raw.

Yes but I was alluding to some pretty evident marbling in the post-wash photos.

I am not sure that a machine wash is needed for this sort of jacket. Machine washing is of course more likely to cause this sort of marking, and we have to try to maximise shrinkage to give you the top end of the shrinkage spectrum without boiling the clothing.

Customer service badassery.

Gonna try to wear it as much as possible to soften it up. The double indigo is quite stiff even after the wash. Wearing it at work today

It starts out that way but will soften beautifully. The 25oz is borderline legendary for its transformation but the SII denim does the same.

@Mustafa911, how'd it go? I was thinking about doing the same thing with mine. For now, I just rolled up the sleeves. I was worried that it might produce two different colors.

@wlemon waiting on dry process !!
I don’t mind if I loose some color on sleeves . Double indigo is so dark it won’t make a difference . I don’t see much indigo leak in the tub

I soaked mine in the tub for 30 mins at roughly 40 degrees. While the water turned considerably blue, the jacket pretty much looked the same after drying. I wouldn't worry too much about it.
