Another wash after a day in the woods clearing brush and logs.

I wanted to get a comparison between the fading warp over the black weft.
-
@WhiskeySandwich Loving the pics mate! Wow the washing has really pulled out the fades. I've still been holding back on washing mine, but it's progressing nicely as well. I'll upload fresh pics this week once I've officially made it to the two month mark.
-
@WhiskeySandwich Also how's the softness? It feels like mine is gradually loosening up. Does it still get harder after the wash?
-
@Mr-Linz yo, looking forward to seeing your updates too man! The washing has been bringing a lot of fuzz fibers out of the weave. It still stands after a wash though. I’ve been tumbling on “air fluff” setting after it’s dry, no heat. It’s still pretty rigid but totally comfortable. I like the way it’s progressing with the semi-frequent washes. It’s stubborn on its temper/rigidness but it’s very soft. I’ve kinda given up on having a “routine” and I’m just wearing the hell out of it and cleaning when needed.
-
@WhiskeySandwich Mate you're crushing it! I mostly holding off on washing cause it doesn't surprisingly stink yet (SoCal lack of humidity might help there) but mostly cause I'm hoping I'll get high contrast honeycombs on the arms.
-
@Mr-Linz mines been getting super shiny and oily and I don’t want it all gross since I wear it to the office and everything. I’ve gotten it covered in dirt and sawdust a few times since I’ve been clearing out a section of my woods for the garden. It’s a good companion just doing what I gotta do. With less washing I’m sure the contrast is going to be insane. I’m def following yours with interest.
-
@WhiskeySandwich Makes perfect sense. I honestly wished I did more stuff that dirties mine, I think it would help the evo a lot. But I'm a city dweller so sadly no sawdust for me at the moment. Interestingly mines pretty matte and not oily. I will say that I give it a dust down and wipe with a sponge when needed - it's not been totally dry. This is a fade monster though in no uncertain terms. I've never worn anything that fades with such high contrast.
-
@Mr-Linz I will say for sure it fades fast, and with contrast, even with a couple washes per month. Fastest fading piece I’ve had, but man is it stubborn to break in. Still like “cardboard” as far as the missus is concerned. The 18oz vintage has been pretty fast too, but is super soft now. And my 21ib is pretty soft now after a month (always was tho), and seems to fade pretty quick for just one month.

@WhiskeySandwich Ahhh that makes sense!

@WhiskeySandwich your shirt looks so sick dude. I really miss my western but I can't seem to take off my 396. I'm thinking maybe this spring I'll go all out with my SBG. So glad I picked one up. I've been loving your photos and updates, keep 'em coming man!
-
@Oaktavia Thanks! I really like this thing. I nerd out with the photos a bit too much haha. Keep em coming on the 396 too!
-
@WhiskeySandwich Congratulations friend, it is becoming truly wonderful
-
Okay so here’s my two month update. Tried taking pics in the middle of the day earlier, which didn’t come out that great. Will try to do some better ones over the weekend. But here’s some for now. @WhiskeySandwich
-
@Mr-Linz geez those combs are looking amazing. Yours is looking very nice dude! Your edges all looks like they're picking up some good contrast and you've avoided marbling, yet somehow the fabric appears less greasy than mine, lol. Keep it up, it's a great piece!
-
-
@travisxray it IS a beast. Probably the 'toughest' fabric I've had.
-
@WhiskeySandwich I'm headed to James Dant next weekend and this shirt is top on my radar. I'll post it up in here if I end up picking it up!
