@steelworker love the shirt

@CosmoSix5 keep on pushing through the training!

@Go-For-Chill I haven't soaked first hand but you shouldn't get any shrinkage with it being overdyed. Intense dying process removes shrinkage.

Finally had a chance to snag some up close shots of the OD. Surprised no one is buzzing about the patch more, one of these coolest designs I've seen. Beside the 21oz jacket for fabric comparison. This jacket broke one of our hangers the first time it got hung up! Talk about heavy. Fall can't come soon enough.

First beach day of the season! Wife choice on drinks today ..

Extra seam on both sides side sorry about that. The second photo is a comparison to the 293.

@Oaktavia ah good point. I sized up to XXXL on this one. My 292, 385, and 422 are also XXXL and don't have the second side seam so it must be a larger size thing on these.

Just noticed a small difference on this shirt vs all my other cpos. There's an extra side seam! Curious how much this'll improve mobility. We'll see come fall.

@DeeDee85 Thanks! Yeah the previous OD method really appears to saturate the threads more. I'll try to do more close ups this weekend along the t3 as well.

Afterthought: maybe this fabric just doesn't absorb the overdye process as much as the 18 ounce vintage fabric? Could be the reason for the washed out look and not a testament to the new OD method. Who's to say.

+1 on the prefaded slubby look and feel. Definitely gonna be a harder break in compared to the 293 (think first couple of days in XHS). Fabric is SUBSTANTIAL, in a great, fall/winter temperatures way. Sizing up in both this and the T3 was the correct choice. Fabric comparison to the 293 and 21od pants.

@MSav32323 can't really help with the shrinking advice but those photos are great!!! Thanks for sharing! Fabric looks amazing and the layering looks so good.

I have to imagine you'd be able to bring in the length at least a bit with a hot wash and hot dry? Just thinking how the OD process does that and that's a hot process from what I understand.

Double up on the Canadian tux.

@Tago-Mago playing for over two hours at that age is insane. We saw the cure a couple of years ago and they played for literally 3-4 hours. Sounds like it was a great setlist!!

These are going quick...

@Luijim78 got through with the OD and the shirts now the anticipation begins.

@DeeDee85 if it helps, I have this same jacket in an XL as well. I'm also between XXL and XXXL in IH tops. My coverall fits great for layering. Just had to have my sleeves shortened.

Saw one of our favorite bands tonight. The Menzingers always put on a great show. Also 21 oz was surprisingly breathable in the pit!
