@indigo_fades the one shashiko shirt I have from SDA I have only washed in cold water and low spin. I’d be weary to toss it in the dryer or put high spin on. Mine even with wear has shown fraying at some of the stabs. I’d imagine those actions would fray it more. However possible since it’s newer that it could hold up a little better. Not sure that helps or not.

@jordanscollected yes have a few. I find I can go one of two routes. A 42 which fits more standard in areas off the rack but be more “cropped” in length, which I don’t mind with some heavier fabrics or the 44 which is roomier but more length appropriate etc. I have also found with the 44 that if I wash and do a brief dryer finish when mostly dry from air, I can get the shrink I need. Then it’ll never see the dryer again.

Grabbed this one today and should be en route. Will report back with look and feel. Fox cotton twill.

With all the new 9 oz flannels dropping, what was the initial OG 9 oz’er?

Bump.

We think this is just a faded indigo kersey?

Did a small just hit grailed??

In Atlanta DHL is definitely preferred for me. Always the quickest it seems and always shows up the day they say it is going to.

Hi. Looking for a pair of beige / beige 2 / tan or clear jacque Marie mage. Like square styles ie dealen and plaza. Medium size. Thanks in advance.

For the jodhpurs I’m an 11 brannock and wear 10.5 in them. The 11s were way too big. I tried on in the store in Tokyo. Bought the below from standard and strange in late 2025. Stretched well and broke in very easily.

For anyone who cares to know, as I tried it out. $225 item on rakuten and shipped via rakuten. They will only offer global express shipping. I used to pay around $40 to ship from Japan and now it is a little over $60. Real kicker was the tariffs which came in at a whopping $94. I could have bought the item from Okayama denim for $325 but when my size sold out I decided to go for it. Seems those shops are still cheaper options comparative to Rakuten now.

However it seems the amount I paid is higher than expected or what Google says the % is but no way around it. You can’t exactly challenge it.

Hi -
Anyone ordered from Rakuten since the tariffs kicked in and can tell me the experience? Curious how things progressed shipping wise and fees encountered.

Thanks!

@Oaktavia yea interesting part too is that it’s the same section on both. It’s doesn’t seem sporadic

6 washes in. Been wearing as main pair for 18 months or so. Have noticed some of the chain stitching has been coming out. Adds to the vibes

@catdad1 I asked a vegetarian in my office if she wanted to pet mine. Waiting for my HR violation lol

Was a moment where someone posted both the brown and blue hairline ducks in my size here. Was newer to the forum so was trying to negotiate and thinking things came up regularly. Only to find out they never tend to come. Should have paid full price and moved on. Ce la vie

@DeeDee85 thanks for the insight. Yea curious based on the rigidness factor of deer being substantially less than heavy denim. But does lower my concerns a bit

@Bailey hmm ok. Thanks for the info. Def interested in seeing how it changes the drape and structure. Would be sure many are keen to see the sample with the side panels on vs the OG model to see differences. Don’t want to assume how I think this will change the wear but have my ideas.

@SKT with my mushrooms I tend to put them in the oven at 250F for 20 minutes and then put in skillet with butter melted. It’s makes the outside crispy, locks the moisture and makes them tender inside as well.

@ZackB thanks. I may follow up with you in a month before I follow suit. Thanks for being the trend setter!
