A celegration of FW’s pearl buttons, the best in the ‘verse. First are 2 versions of the diamond cracker. The first one is the older version of the 8oz denim one (the new version doesn't have pearl buttons), and the second one is a cool cotton / linen indigo oxford. Can't recall the names for #3-5 right now.

1946-47 506xx new vs 2 years, 9 months. Wear pattern partly backpack related I think. Also RIP my hair 🥲

hey Lorcan, what size do you wear for the 46-47 506xx and how much further shrinkage have you experienced during the time you've worn and washed them?

hey, I wear a 42, I think I could wear a 40 for a very trim t-shirt only fit, although I suspect buttoning the collar on a 40 might be tight. I can fit a sweatshirt under the 42.

I have FW outerwear in a mix of 40 and 42- I also have a 1922 506xx in a 40 which is a great fit (although I’ve also never machine washed it). Wear 17 in FW shirts (although I like a roomy fit in shirts) and a sweatshirt in a 40 for a trimmer fit so yeah bit of a mix even though I’d say FW is actually fairly consistent sizing compared to some brands.

First photo is after 2 warm soaks and still probably larger than the listed one-wash measurements. 2nd photo is after 2 machine washes, plus another couple hand washes/soaks. Fit has been pretty stable after machine washing, lengths have continued shortening a bit, maybe some marginal overall tightening up but nothing too unpredictable.

To add - I wear both 38 and 40 in Freewheelers jackets - mostly 40, my 38 is a t shirt only fit. And 38 in a sweatshirt for a trimmer fit. I find one wash freewheelers to be the most comprehensive one wash out there - as in, it shrinks very marginally and I take the one wash measurements to heart. I don't try to factor in shrinkage beyond the one wash measurements with my sizing - hasn't steered me wrong.

Yeah taking a measuring tape to it now and mine's pretty close to the one wash measurements everywhere except the sleeves which have shortened to around 60cm.

In practice the back length kinda sits up shorter when not pulled flat, but that's shaping/bunching around the cinch buckle with wear rather than shrinkage - might make a difference in the how the worn photo looks vs when new though.
