last update for awhile. i’m pulling these as my main pair for the foreseeable future since i just got some full counts and the tcb contest is coming up. worn 5-7 days a week since late april 2020. probably ten or so washes. 

does anyone have experience shrinking the standard one-wash 1953 jacket? (non-modified length version) 22.4 inches is a bit too long for me. i’ve easily been able to get an inch of inseam shrinkage out of every pair of 47‘s i’ve ever owned which i believe are made from the same denim. 

received my 1101w yesterday. i wear a 29 in most brands and bought a 30. i understand now that most advise to size down by 1 on this thread. i hot soaked them in 130f water for about 20 minutes and then let them spin in the washer, then hang dry in hot sunlight. that process resulted in .5 inch shrink in the inseam but not much elsewhere. i wouldn’t mind hot washing them to shrink more, but either way they’re nice and loose and probably gonna be my summer shitkickers for the foreseeable future. this 13.7oz denim is very very cool.

@roomtemplacroix cool combo. How heavy is this flannel? Thinking about getting it for our not so cold winters. Also never had anything by indigofera so would love to know how’s the quality. 

this one is definitely heavier than a “standard” flannel but i don’t think as heavy as an iron heart flannel. i could easily wear this as an outside layer on a cooler fall day.

Ryo said they're respecting the schedule so I guess they'll ship around aug 15th.

oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy

does anyone know if the one wash 1101w shrink in length at all after hot soaking or washing? 

another wash. i’m really glad i have a backup pair of these to keep on ice for a good while. 

i am really into the xx20. the texture and color look really cool. i’m a true size 29 and i’m really really on the fence about whether a size 30 will be huge on me. (never worn roys before) nevertheless i’ll probably just rationalize this by hot washing them to ever loving hell and back.

Those Okis don't look sized up at all! And they look great dude 

thanks! i did hot wash them 3-4x to shrink em a bit.

hi folks, has anyone ever had luck shrinking iron heart flannels with hot washing/drying? i want one pretty bad but probably can’t make a small not look way too long on me without having it hemmed. 

any word on warehouse coming in?

@roomtemplacroix looking good... I like what looks like vertical creases down the front and back... what caused them out of interest?  Hanging them up like trousers?

i got those from machine washing them right side out recently. i didn’t care for the look at first because it’s a bit too symmetrical but it’s growing on me.

All the washed Ooe jeans are making me eager to see what my less washed pair will look like. The damage shown on the back left rivet and pocket are from a golf carting accident. Just started the 8th week of wear. 

i too am eager to see how these turn out after washing. they look great! 

since you guys are showing off your oa01s i’d better throw mine in too. just washed this weekend. i think maybe 4 washes now? i’ve been wearing them probably 5-7 days a week since late april.  they’re starting to get nice and grainy.
