How do people size the Gleaners/Loro Zip Flame? Same size as Casper or?

Just checking, the general consensus seems to be that most people go down one size on these, is that right?

@FlavourFade ordered one too - excited

Has anyone upgraded to the pearl snaps with this?

@goosehd ah shame I see. Thank you

Would you consider making the copper/brass snap upgrade options same width as the stock snaps (11mm)?

@SamD what’s the difference in the final result?

Are these going to be restocked at all?

Thank you very much for your help guys, really appreciate it:)

Wash in 30 or 40 degrees?

Hi everyone — curious how most of you approach these.
Do you prefer wearing them for a bit first to let the creases set before the first wash, or do you start with an initial wash and then wear?

@Hohba01 They will obviously shrink more when you’re washing them at 60 degrees which you don’t really need to, unless you’re after that excessive shrinkage but then you’re also risking warping/torquing at the seams

@Alex Hi Alex, yes length wise as it’s a tad longer than my other westerns

Hi everyone, absolutely beautiful fabric - does it shrink length wise (body and sleeves) when washed on a cotton cycle at 40 degrees Celsius at all? Any permanent shrinkage across chest and shoulders?

@jdwaid In terms of sizing the Mr Lous, choose your regular width and go half a size down from your Brannock measurement.

@goosehd

Grabbed one mate, they are absolutely amazing

@northsouthdenimguy sounds good

Do these stretch substantially across chest pit to pit and shoulders with wear?
Would someone who has had one for a while and wore it enough, be able to share their experience of how much those dimensions changed for them?

Hey everyone x

Would these need Obenauf’s Water Shield when they’re brand new, as I get a lot of rain where I live.
If so, would you recommend applying two or four coats?

I’m assuming there’s no need to use Obenauf’s Leather Oil or Heavy Duty LP at this stage — perhaps after a while, around six months of wear?

Any news on restock for these?
