My new Chambray shirt from Freewheelers also know as "Neal Cassady" indigo work shirt The shirt design is inspired by work shirts from the 1920s. The left pocket has a pen holder, the collar has a chin strap, the hem is finished with an open ring, and a union ticket is sewn on the back of the front hem. The buttons are made of iron, and the more you wear them, the more the paint will peel off and rust, creating a nice atmosphere. The fabric is likely to loose color , creating a nice shade of indigo. Bar tacks stitches in all pressure points In size 16, below were the measurements in unwashed: pit to pit: 55 shoulder: 45 sleeve: 65 length: 77 After 1st wash I noticed: pit to pit: 55 (no change) shoulder: 45 (no change) sleeve: 64 length: 76 (Monkey Wrench told me that the shirt will shrink in 1st two washes, likely to shrink 1-15.cm in width and 2cm in length) Pictures in unwashed condition:

my FC1108 , bought in 2018 (i.e. previous model, current model is FC1108-2019). Thanks to @beautiful_FrEaK for his article in Indigoshrimp that helped me select this pair. https://indigoshrimp.wordpress.com/2017/03/06/full-count-1108-review-by-beautiful_freak/ Here is an update on the progress. FC is not only one of the most comfortable Japanese denim pair but also fades nicely in vintage way. numerous washes and hundreds of wears. I bought another FC1108 (2019 model) in Dec 2021. Consistent use of cellphone in right front pocket and wallet in one of the back pockets helped create a nice character in fading. One of the best thing in pre 2019 model is use of multi color thread in different areas such as arcuate, back pockets, inseam, belt loops, etc. Also different thread counts in different area and stitches per inch, creating marvelous user experience when stitching is critically noticed. Thread used in inseam is yellowish green in color. Its color, thread count and stiches per inch used, all these three features creates an amazing looks on indigo, I don't experience such level of beauty in my other pairs of FC or other brands [please see the last picture of this post] also, please accept apologies for low quality iPhone photos, real pair is much more marvelous strong roping and train tracks: whiskers, faded belt loops , patina on rivets pocket blown out, leather patch, arcuate were part of pre-2019 FC1108 model, fine stiches on back pockets (i.e. more stitches per inch than current model) : honeycombs though not much prominent but noticeable and looks nice inseam stitching

Sleeves width is slim including sleeve opening, giving a modern look. I have a little belly tummy , so body width at 2nd last button was important factor while deciding on sizing. Here are the actual measurements "when new" in CMs of size 40: Chest (pit to pit): 53.5 Shoulder: 47 Sleeve Length: 60.5 Width at 2nd last button: 47.5 Width at 3rd last button: 49 Sleeve opening: 10.5 Body length: 61.5 Hem Width 46.5 After using the jacket for a few days, I notice that 2nd last button width now is 48.5cm and hem width is 47.5cm (both increased 1 cm after use)

Here is my new TFH Jacket, Type III The construction is clean, slim towards waist, custom buttons, all details and quality what you can expect from THF. I bought size 40. I am extremely thankful to all for feedback and input here. A little bit tight at tummy when 2nd last button is buttoned up. As this is one-washed so expect it will stretch out after some use. I will try to avoid hot washes in future (only cold wash when needed).
