Very unscientific, but you can get an impression of the post-wash length difference in the before and after photos (against the fly placket).

I did mash with chives and sour cream and green beans. Funnily enough, no wine.

Scored a couple of pairs of local shorts last night and got a helluva deal.

@bonguno It looks great on you! But I get it. It's a bold ring for sure.

Just to update, I remeasured immediately after washing (and a very low heat iron), and compared to the ‘out of the bag’ measurements, it had snugged up upto half and inch through the body (chest, waist and opening) as well as in the back length - not much movement in the shoulders or the sleeve though.

I was not able to wear it over the weekend (except for Friday date night), but will now see whether it eases back out with wear - initial impressions are that the chest has loosened up once more, and I’m using the pockets to see whether I can regain some of the lost length in the body (nothing too vigorous).

@Giles So glad it came out well! It's one of my favorite dishes to make this time of year, especially when I have nothing better to do on a Sunday than making a nice meal. I usually serve it with mashed potatoes, and of course some nice red wine.

C'mon, that's real science.

Groundhog Day is such a ridiculous superstition. I love the movie with Bill Murray, but probably thanks to it, I can't stand the tradition. It's absolutely preposterous.

@Hamza-Yunus HAHAHA, i love this photo. Daydreaming about going to space! Welcome btw!
