@Danimal506 just the initial hot soak but I have been out in the rain a few times with it

[GraemeE]

@goosehd how's the fit?

[goosehd]

@GraemeE Comically large out of the bag…just about perfect after the hot wash.

The Ship John pocket T is a great shirt for summer days at the park. They fit me great and are a soft, breathable cotton.

The sashiko hats are so good!
I snagged a shirt too.

Best cap love mine

@Brock looks sick with that 'stache and hair.

[Danimal506]

@Brock Looks good! Have you washed yours?

[Brock]

@Oaktavia

Haha! Thanks.

[Brock]

@Danimal506

I’ve done a couple hot soaks and washed by hand once

[Brock]

Its definitely settled down a bit after hitting water..

[Danimal506]

@Brock Yea it looks really good! I think I shrank the patch on mine a bit by soaking it too hot. Yours looks good as new still.

[Oaktavia]

@Brock heck yeah man. 70s style. Nice to see you back on here lately.

[Mizmazzle]

@Brock ewwww eeeee! I've been sitting on mine and rocking the broken twill version....your's is making me rethink my strategy!

[Brock]

@Danimal506
Yea I kinda like the way Graeme is rocking his without the patch… I almost ripped mine off today but I’m too lazy

[Brock]

@Mizmazzle I always vote sashiko

[Danimal506]

@Brock Yea dude! @GraemeE looks really clean

[Danimal506]

I gave my hat a second hot soak today. This time in hot tap water with a tiny bit of detergent. I agitated it every 10 mins or so for a 30 minute soak. Left the patch and bill out of the water, but they got wet inevitably. I left it out in the 95 degree Texas sun for an hour.

It shrunk down again and this time I think the fit might be perfect. It used to hurt my ears after a while when I wore it because of the high crown. So far so good on the first wear!

No significant fades yet. I don’t know how you guys got them so quick!

[Mizmazzle]

@Danimal506 oh man. This is great news. I’ve been going back and forth on my broken twill version. The fit just isn’t working quite right. I’ve got the Sashiko stashed away. But if I can’t get the denim one to work…
