Finally got to wear mine last night. Went without a shirt underneath, felt like linen more than cotton on the skin with the initial crisp/stiffness of linen. Wife said it looked like all the other shirts I owned, only to agree I didn’t have anything like it when she went through the closet. Was comfortable in the 80 degree heat of Atlanta in it
Anyone know how rolling sleeves will impact fading etc?
Not a two pack, except no man walks alone sells a 3 pack but + 1 for merz. I own about 10 of their 1950s tees in white. I buy one size up cause I found they did shrink over time. They are all in various shapes. Yard work tees, undershirts and used as only shirts. I’m in one almost every day. 1950s are lightweight from my view. Great for underneath and the summer heat

@IrishHeart I’m talking about the western culture version. Giles and crew will do variations because the demand from western culture is different than the eastern culture. I am talking about the work shirt not the western cut.
Can we confirm it is indeed 55% cotton and 45% linen as described. See in Japan it’s 65% cotton and 35% linen
I know sometimes there are differences in the western driven version but making sure. Hoping it’s accurate and western version is more linen.
Crispy post wash snaps.
@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?
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.
This is the king for me and for the Atlanta summer. Very excited for this one.
