How do people decide between this and the OD version? Need help

Hi guys any updates on release timing for this?

I’m interested in trying something from Ship John and was looking at denim and sashiko Townes shirts that they posted will be releasing soon.

Just general question on how people like the shirts? Any notable differences compared to Japanese brands? And is there any general consensus on sizing compared to IH?

Got mine yesterday. Really like the cut and fabric, it’s a good looking pair of shorts. Waist was little tight to start but has already loosened up nicely.

I have big thighs and would note these are a little tight in that area. I would expect them to give a little over time which should make fit perfect but FYI.

I’d like to know how this compares to the new SExIH 19 oz CPO. Any insights?

Are there any pics of these being worn out? And will these stretch some in waist?

@Oaktavia Same for me will be keeping an eye on this, looking forward to more details

How do you choose between this, pale rider and natural big buck?!?

Thanks guys, I’m sure if you layer up it can serve some winter duty. I was more wondering though in warmer weather with just a t-shirt, how does this do? Comfortable in the 60s (Fahrenheit) for example or would this get too warm?

I’d normally think of a field jacket for spring but not sure if this wears any differently.

How are people that grabbed one liking this piece? Are you pairing it with denim? Anyone have this and the olive sateen to compare?

Couple other questions... are people generally sizing down one from UHF / IH shirt size? And what temps is this comfortable in (with t-shirt, how warm is it still comfortable)?

Thanks!

Just curious what’s rationale for not washing a flannel as long as possible? Applies to this one or any flannel. You’re not setting creases like with denim so just wondering…

Fir check - this is a L and feels like I could maybe go XL but on the fence. That said, this seems to look good is just a little shorter. What do you guys think?

Just got mine in my typical IH size and the forearms are a little tight. Is that something that will loosen up over time or should I consider going up size maybe? Otherwise fit is slim but seems good, would be an issue if it shrinks on cold wash though.

@Shaun

Great how does the MOP look on this on person? I was thinking of doing that as well

Sucks large was sold out before I could grab one

@Oaktavia No washing machine on this one, just soak? Not there yet on mine but then need to figure out what to do.

Here’s mine with IHSH-33

@Oaktavia That’s awesome! I’ve been looking out for one for a year but have never seen one in my size pop up. Maybe someday!

@bluemantra Yeah I have to shrink my L IH denim shirts a little to get the fit I like, especially to lose a little length. Fit looks good overall but yeah it is long.

Anyone have a Townes shirt and can comment on it? Look nice but I guess also all sold out. Maybe you have to wait for drop?

I have the Sashiko ori and waiting for the striped one to deliver tomorrow. I love the Sashiko version. It’s a little on the long side, I did shrink it following his directions and it definitely shrunk but either way I wear it almost daily it’s super comfortable and well made

Nice let me know how you like the striped one. They look nice. Also wonder about length, generally don’t like shirts that are too long.
