@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

@northsouthdenimguy at this point of succumb to the idea of I'll get it when I get it. Its more about the principle of thinking as a customer of a product we were "guaranteed" 3 months ago, that there should be some sort of updates every other week or so... like now certain sizes have shipped, but everyone else is left in the dark... like obviously every day that passes is a day closer to getting it, but its still just really frustrating... and beyond that, seeing other products/shirts release before the shirts that are long past overdue is also annoying. I get it, maybe they are outsourced to different makers, but still its just tough to see

I’ll wait as long as I need to, BUT when an expectation is created by putting things like “delivery by X at the latest” and then barely communicating what’s going on when it’s now been close to 3 months past the “latest” delivery date is really frustrating. I get it. Stuff happens. I work in an industry where back ordered items could be months and months out.

As I’ve said before and something I firmly stand by, under promise, over deliver. I would’ve rather they said shirts will be shipping by March, and then be stoked if I got it in February, but alas… Yeah I’m going to keep buying ship john stuff. The products are incredible. It’s just really frustrating to get no updates on something like this.

curious if anyone else has heard anything about the Black Sashiko shirts... I messaged them yesterday and they said final invoice soon, but based on the general lack of communication on these, not sure what "soon" means

@Denimhead-0 ah ok a bit further south but not too far. Morris County, Parsippany

@Denimhead-0 where about in NJ, that’s where I am too

Little update on my rough out boss boots. I think they’re approaching a year but they’ve been worn in rotation with my other boots. Probably my overall favorite pair

@kaacy1721 as far as I can tell just the pattern I’m not sure if there’s any other difference though. I had the choice of either at the same price but I prefer the desert motif

@kaacy1721 basically they felt bad that they communicated with me that it would ship that day, then they checked stock and said their inventory didnt reflect correctly online, but that they would order it if i wanted to wait. They said for the inconvenience theyd discount it, also because it was my first ever order from them it seems like they just didnt want to lose the business. the discount was so big i legitimately thought it was a scam, but this place sells Iron Heart and other big name brands so figured it had to be legit... the wait sucked, but it was something i had wanted for a long time and would never get this price again so i just patiently waited and it ended up working out really well

Ordered the little gents back in October through one of their retailers because it showed in stock and I had wanted one forever. Turns out it wasn’t in stock so they had to special order and it finally just came in, but the silver lining in making it worth the wait is that they discounted it SIGNIFICANTLY, like almost to a point I thought it was a scam… glad to finally have it on my BLB. Desert little gents on a desert B spring ring. Also have my Ship John key rive and little tweezers. The tweezers are super clutch to have

@MSav32323 so the brown kind of came off on the toes quickly so I did a little saphir to bring the color back but only did that once. Since then I’ve worn in the snow multiple times no further treatment yet
