biggest difference is fit. the strike gold is shorter and boxier (also keep in mind that these shrink) while the SDA is longer in the body and sleeve. Feel wise, the strike gold has a softer hand on the outside but they're honestly pretty close to each other in heaviness.

the midnight denim is kind of wild. It feels really dense so it seems heavier than 16oz. It takes a bit to break in. Mine still feel like raw after a couple weeks of wear and two washes. I didnt take measurements but the shrink was roughly about a size with a warm machine wash and air dry.

I actually sold mine. I realized that I very rarely wear lightweight short sleeve shirts other than t-shirts so I sold all but a handful. in hindsight, I wish I kept mine but I honestly wasn't wearing it all that much so it'd just be extra clutter in my already cluttered home.

There are only two left in size 31 and they both match the measurements online. Keep in mind, the waist measurement is done with the waistband completely flattened so there isn't slack.

This thread is the most exciting show on Netflix that I’ve seen during shutdown.

In my heart of hearts i hope you find one. The day you do, we’ll lock the Roy thread from further comments.

That fabric is actually relatively stable for an unsanforized jean so if you stick with cold water, the shrinkage can be pretty minimal. It’s also rather loosely woven so it’s pretty forgiving.

More laundry day photos. I bought this Stevenson Bucko denim shirt about 8 years ago and it’s been the only denim western I’ve owned. The 8oz ring spun supima cotton denim started off pretty soft and ages really nicely with wear and washing. It’s definitely the softest denim I’ve ever felt. This shirt got me interested in Stevenson because of all the little things that make it different from a classic denim western but it’s not that loud. The puckering on the seams and roping that’s going on is so good. The stitch count is also super high esp for a denim shirt. I hope i don’t gain too much weight so i can keep wearing it.

Which one do you have? I’ve been pretty liberal with washing my dark indigo T-shirt’s since T-shirt’s take quite a while to lose the dark indigo color.

I took some photos of my WWII jeans after another wash. It’s got more texture than expected. It’s got prob 9 months of wear with about 10 washes or so. It def made its way into the dryer a couple times. It’s kind of a funny “wwii” jean with some sort of correct details but mostly it’s a completely different Jean in fit, denim and details Also took some pictures of my sda Heavy weight indigo T-shirt. It’s one of the heaviest and tightly woven T-shirt fabrics. It withstood a cut from a box cutter. Kind of nuts.

That's a great succinct way of putting it. I also went down the same route as many of you. I still like slubby and irregular fabrics as an exercise in playing around with how far you can go before it becomes ridiculous but for myself I prefer the more classic mid weight fabrics without a ton of the manufactured irregularities. I used to steer clear of anything that was known to be a "slow fader" but now it's almost a selling point for me. I'm a big fan of how slow the sugar cane 1947 and roy's black seed denim fades.

I realistically should’ve gone up one more size. I gambled on the shrink a little and then I’ve been snacking hardcore while being stuck in the house so the two factors combined have made them a little snug. I would’ve preferred a looser fit but I do like having something a little slimmer in the rotation since everything else I’m wearing is looser
