Great seeing you all over the weekend, hope everyone got home safely!

You probably saw me floating around with a camera on Saturday trying to grab some candid snapshots. Apologies if I missed anyone or any magic moments, but hopefully, this kinda captures the vibe of the day…

Fancied a pair of jeans that weren't indigo or black, so tried experimenting with dyeing - think they came out pretty well

@SKT It's a winner - my fav of this season's flannels, for sure!

Yep, I'm wearing a heavyweight flannel in the middle of the UK summer heatwave

@tody I tend to script it in my head as I go along – press record, have a few stabs at what I want to say, and then edit out all the times I mess it up!

I wouldn’t say I’m a natural in front of the camera, but I’ve made enough vids in my time to know how to make it look like I know what I’m doing

The video I mentioned earlier is now live on YouTube, might be helpful if anyone needs more shrinkage reference before pulling the trigger:

I know he's shorter than you @Alex, but I'm not sure this will stop @AdamJ from escaping...

If this is helpful to anyone, I'm putting together a little vid to demonstrate the shrinkage. That should be live over the weekend, but for now, here are a couple of screenshots showing before/after soaking and washing, using the jacket from the shrink test Alex posted above.

I'm 5'8" and usually wear a size L in our Type III. Straight off the rack, the L is pretty big and tent-like on me, but post-soak and washing the fit is much better. I'd say the shrink test jacket fits about the same as the overdyed version (which is pre-shrunk due to the overdyeing process), but a little bigger than my old 14oz Type III (which has been washed a few times).

As with all our denim, I'd expect the fit to only improve over time as the fabric softens and the arm creases set in. Of course, it's going to be a personal preference - but if I were planning on picking one up, I'd stick to my usual size L and wouldn't size up or down. Trust the soak process!

Just over 3 months in — starting to see a nice patina developing on the leather and buckle, along with indigo crocking on the reverse...
