@Ross gone already?!?!? Man I missed the boat…

@CosmoSix5 and quite the waiting game…:) like the 292 restock multiplied by 1,000

@Gianny-Boy great to see the Indigo version up on the thread.... the OD is getting the attention it deserves, but the Indigo is right up there with it so thanks for sharing!!

Looks so good! This is the phase I see it most similar to the SEXIHPOOD, but texturally more of a matte finish.

Sunshine saturation, this thing rocks..

@DeeDee85 there is a size large still available with that seller on eBay! Not sure what you’d need, but with a coupon they have going, total was $275! I’ll report back once it arrives, could take a minute though!

Just picked this up on eBay from a Japanese seller that I've purchased from before. NWT. Hoping it's a sweet as it seems. Not a lot out there on the internet about this piece, and this is a surprisingly short thread for it. I'll help add to it:)

@Oaktavia agreed. I was planning on begrudgingly dodging the 292 release since I just snagged the IND CPO, but now you’re making me feel like I should grab one so I can take the side-by-side photos. I’ll think of it as “taking one for the team”.

@DeeDee85 heard that! I convinced myself the same...the 293 is "too similar", so I went with the Indigo CPO and the Type iii OD which did fill a gaps in my lineup. But man, the OD came out so nice, and I'm kickin' myself slightly for not just scoopin' up the OD too lol. Oh well, my wallet is thanking me. Plus, after browsing some photos of the 293 throughout break-in process, it does seem like the 293 will lighten up in color and eventually resemble where this OD is at now.... but there are for sure clear differences.

@Nobunaga thanks for the detailed response! It’ll be very interesting to see how this evolves and changes over time, both with my personal experience, and everyone else out there! Cheers!

@Nobunaga stoked for you! In your opinion, you’re saying this will stretch a bit if it behaves like the 292? Then shrink some with a cold wash, but ultimately stretch back out to initial measurements, or post-wear-stretch measurements? My first non-OD CPO and unsure what to expect..

@Oaktavia Oh OK, nice nice. Im eyeing the 633's OD as well, I just love that cut and it seems to be a fabric that does live somewhere between the 18oz OD and 21oz.. and seems like it'll fade totally different than either of those.

Here's where a good friend would tell me "no, you've done enough damage already to your teacher salary-supplied bank account."

@Oaktavia epic. which one got selected for the lop outer layer?

@Oaktavia I knew it! you scoundrel!

@Oaktavia what'd you end up going for? Indigo or OD? (or both )

@Nostradamion It's so killer... The fabric is everything you'd hope for from an OD. It makes me want the OD CPO, but I'm slapping myself for even getting this (totally worth it). The Indigo CPO will more than suffice, though:)

Just got mine today! Super soft and excited to rock it all Summer long. Curious about shrinkage with this material... These came out longer than many of my short sleeve button downs, and wondering if even a cold wash will take some off the length? Product page doesn't mention and pre-washing or rinsing. @Alex any guidance?

UPDATE:
A luke warm soak in the tub with woolite dark brought the length up .25”, and actually didn’t effect any other measurements oddly enough. Little to no color loss until the water at all. Will wear with double cuffed sleeves for a while this summer and maybe try a light tumble dry down the road to see if I can get it to tighten up a bit more

I’ve lived here 10 years, but took the scenic route to work today on the Vespa to give the new OD the tourist tour of SF. Beautiful morning here. This city never gets old. Even got to stop by Arsicault Bakery in my neighborhood, and digging their Pride spirit️

@Fadez yeah the length on my particular size large are 1.25” longer than the listed measurements which is unfortunately a lot longer than I hoped for (I was hoping I’d get one slightly shorter than listed). Makes me wonder if I should’ve gone with a medium after all. Oh well, hopefully a regular cold soak can take some of that length off, and if not turn to warmer Waters. I would just hate to lose this indigo right off the bat.
