Some progress on my sashiko ori shirt

A few new pictures of my Sashiko Ori shirt

Despite the heat I’ve been living in the ramblin jacket. I live for the cool mornings and the AC at work

Can’t stop wearing the ramblin

Just had these come in last night. The custom boss from the Iron Heart Germany website. I think these might be the best fitting pair to date. The E width is great. I have a pair of Lous in 10.5E also but all my others are 10.5 D

Decade Wills, zip hoody and moleskin shirt all Ship John. 1955 OD denim and Shop Vancouver Wesco with lug sole done by unsung house

I’m having trouble passing on engineers that I keep seeing pop up right now. These ship John’s came out so damn good afternoon seeing the images I couldn’t pass them up. I just love anything lug sole

Also wearing them with my newly acquired 1955 OD denim

Little Ship John x Iron Heart action

Got mine in today and the fabric is so awesome. Love the fit also. Was definitely not on my radar, but decided to take a chance and it’s well worth it

Really digging this new shirt. Gave it a warm wash and hang dry to shrink it a little and I’m very happy with the fit

@dugafola yeah man been wearing it almost daily since I got it. its just such a versatile jacket

Still wearing this Ramblin a ton. Really is an incredible jacket

Finally leather weather!

@northsouthdenimguy that’s good to hear about the fit, I noticed it soften substantially as well with the wash and dry. Also their customer service really is great. They replaced all the snaps on my dry wax and then even sent it with the black denim Townes AND they refunded me the shipping on the black Townes since they were going to cover the shipping back to me on the dry wax. It’s really nice to know a company I love to support also stands behind their products the way they do

@northsouthdenimguy thats kind of what I'm thinking also, I don't want it to turn into a boxy silhouette. I can wear it as is with a tshirt under, or I can wear a hoody under it for more of an overshirt style. I think I am going to keep it this way. I can always hem down the road if I change my mind

@northsouthdenimguy looks good, I’ve been going back and forth still. I did a second hot wash and dry and got a little more shrink, I know still hard to see because of the dark denim… I just can’t decide if it’s worth shortening a little bit

@ozai it made a slight difference, but not much. I am on the fence about sending it in to get hemmed, but leaning towards just sending it at this point

@fades-of-glory I just finished a second hot wash and machine dry on mine and it shrunk a pretty big amount I’d say, but yeah it was quite roomy to start

@rahrah12 yeah for sure, I like them much more now that they are hemmed. They look way better with jackets. Originally on their own they looked fine, but they just poked out too much under any of my jackets.

as soon as I get home from work, I am doing this second hot session and then if no luck, hopefully get sent out to Railcar next week

@rahrah12 yeah its got a little volume in the body still, but fits well across the chest/shoulders which is generally the way I size my shirts. The length shrunk up a bit, but I'd like to get a little more.

I am going to try to do another longer hot wash and a longer hot dry tonight and evaluate, but Railcar did a great job on both of my sashikos so I know it would be in good hands
