Is there a rough estimate of when this will be released?

@Nocturama between you and Giles wearing these hickory (hickories?) I'm stoked to see how they fade!

Today is the 47th wear of this amazing shirt - in the last 63 days. It has had 2 x 30’ low spin washes.
Where it tightened up post-wash, it has generally eased back out with wears (chest and waist).
The back length and sleeve have shortened by 0.5” to 0.75” since new - that will be down to creasing as much as the wash process, as I do spend too much time sat down at my desk.Comparing the lower and higher wear areas, the definition in the indigo and white has definitely changed - the indigo has slightly dulled the white, and the white weft is more prominent within the indigo. There is a blue sheen in certain lights, but it is difficult to explain and/or photograph.
Low wear:
High wear:
I’ve not babied the shirt at all, so whilst I’m not hitting it with hard labour everyday, it’s had it’s fair share of dirt, grime and a little grease thrown its way. The hickory has definitely become softer (more pliable) with wear, although it was never ‘crunchy’ in the first place. It wears so well - It’s perfect for this time of year (moving into the UK spring) with just an undershirt/tee. I was wearing it with an overshirt in recent (colder) months, or with a jacket/vest when outdoors.
I’ll dump a bunch more photos, but safe to say this CPO is an exceptional piece - but then you always knew it would be…

@Nocturama Well done on these sample updates; just what we need. The cuffs give a good idea of the fade potential.
