Some progress on my sashiko ori shirt

A few new pictures of my Sashiko Ori shirt

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

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

Absolutely incredible jacket. So happy with how it fits. I knew it would be incredible quality, but the color in person is just insane. Can’t wait for the weather to cool down

A few of my favorite things

Wild how much the fit changes with a hot wash and dry. Originally fit pretty big, but wearable so I did a soak and it shrunk a bit but not quite as much as I wanted. I hot washed and machine dried last night and now it fits exactly how I wanted

@uclabruin unusually wear xxl in US brands. I can wear some XL. Ironheart I wear 4xl

@worn2fade well itll definitely fade faster i imagine, but it is on the unbreathable side

@uclabruin I didn’t take measures but it tightened up considerably. There’s notes on the new preorder page how the black and new indigo will be different from the original in terms of shrinkage so I’d probably stick closer to the measurement guide. I MIGHT try to preorder a 2xl to have a fresh one and to see how it fits. I coincidentally just took some 1 year of owning pics the other day and it’s awesome how light it’s gotten.

@FlavourFade thanks man! It’s tough on preorders but possible. They basically do an allotment of slots and then whatever sizes are ordered are what they make. But hopefully they’ll have a good stock of the indigo

@northsouthdenimguy looks great man. After trialing with the indigo I have my methods. I tend to do a suuuuuper hot soak until the water is cool to the touch, hot wash and then hot dry. My issue is a 2xl would probably fit me, but I’d be afraid that the pits would get way too tight once it touched water

@northsouthdenimguy mine shrank considerably doing the same. I actually did 2 hot soaks/ 2 hot washes and 2 hot dries just to try to get as much out as possible. It shortened a bit but not a ton. Seems just about the same as my indigo now. Feels perfect in the body

@northsouthdenimguy looks great man. Mine just came. I did a 40 minute hot soak. Now it’s in the wash on hot and then I’ll machine dry it and I think it should fit just like my indigo which would be perfect

Just got my final payment for sashiko, I am beyond excited

@northsouthdenimguy yeah I’ve been buying other stuff I have just wanted this shirt so badly. I wear my indigo so much I just want to start breaking in the black one. But it’ll come eventually. Until then I just keep finding other stuff to buy hahah
