@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

@northsouthdenimguy thats kind of what I was thinking, and if after a second hot wash/hot dry it doesnt shrink then I think I would send it in to railcar. I just wasnt sure if it was worth a second wash/dry

@northsouthdenimguy thanks man very happy with how it turned out. I got my black denim in yesterday also. It was massive to start. I did a hot wash and dry but it’s a tad long still. Debating wearing as is, doing another hot wash and dry, or sending to railcar to hem. Can’t decide if I think a second hot wash and dry wil do anything, any advice or suggestions?

Just got my dry waxed shirt back from having the buttons fixed. Did a hot wash and hot dry and I love how the fit is now

Finally time to break out the fun stuff

Been on a bit of a glasses binge recently. Just got these back from getting some blue tinted prescription lenses put in. The model is the Jax in Willow. Have a pair of Molino 55 and Fly also. Why are these so addicting?

@northsouthdenimguy yeah no tracking on mine either yet

Couldn’t help myself. Got a 3xl and planning to hot soak it

@northsouthdenimguy I just got home to open mine and it’s awesome, but one of the snaps came clean off… happened in my first sashiko also and they sorted it out but I’m still a little salty I’ll now have to wait to wear it, but it is a very nice material

@northsouthdenimguy so my friend got his and did a hot wash and it shrunk considerably. I’m getting my hands on mine later today and going to likely do the same but seems like the dryer might not be necessary based on his results

@Darth-fader man I wish, still not quite there where I am, but I am ready to start wearing mine again. I wish it was a size down, but itll be a solid layer for when it gets much cooler out
