@Oaktavia Good job!
Seriously nice though dude.

Definitely comparing apples to oranges here, but should I go for this guy or wait for a lefty type 3?
I’ve been eyeing this since the release. It’s special. The minimal contrast other than the copper off the shelf pops. And it appears to be a pretty fast fader with high contrast fades.
The lefty type 3 which won’t likely come out until at least the spring. And I hear that it’s a real bear to wrangle. It eventually is beautiful. But not easy getting there.
What do y’all think that have both?? I’m looking for unique and honeycomb for days.

@RJScheuerle they are very different, certainly the 140 is much easier and quicker to fade. You must keep in mind that this fabric as has been said, will not be restocked at least in the short term.

@RJScheuerle I could definitely see your dilemma, but if you’ve been eyeing this since the release and the fact this probably won’t ever be restocked again, I would go type 1. I’ve only gotten to wear mine about 7 times so far, but it has indeed already started to stack and honeycomb beautifully. Make no mistake though, it still is a bear. This 19oz feels very substantial especially for 19oz. But the stiffness goes away after the first 5 wears or so, but the fabric hasn’t “softened up” for me at all, it’s just looser and drapes more. It still has a crisp hand feel. I would definitely say go for this over the lefty. Especially seeing the fade potential already being posted by people wearing it. I can tell mine will fade beautifully (:

@RJScheuerle To echo the above comments:
I don’t have a lefty, but if you can still pick the 140 up in your size, and you let it go, I think you might regret it. -
@RJScheuerle definitely start with the 140 these won't be made again and the Lefty will.
