Self Edge Black Denim Shirt

Fading Detail:

[jjkchung]

after about 75 minute hot soak...

question..

i personally prefer the initial stiffness of jeans after they've been soaked and hang-dried, but i'm not sure if i'm feelin that for denim shirts...

should i throw the shirt in the dryer to soften it up a bit?

[A Beard of Stars]

If you want it to be soft. I always hang my chambray to dry and I wish I could keep them as crisp as when they come off the line.

looks good jjkchung

btw, if anyone is interested in a samurai swd-01, size large (fits like a medium to a snug large), look in my sig!

[hypernoob]

looks nice jjkchung!

anyway, was wondering, how you guys treated this denim shirt? smell in denim pants is acceptable, but in shirt? or you guys just do some soak whenever it's got smelled?

Just picked up the new Mister Freedom Okinawa Patrol shirt after much deliberating. There are so many nice shirts out there.

 

So I'd love to see all of your worn in examples. I've seen a few on here and since there is a denim jacket thread..... 

 

 

This is my only real quality denim shirts but I'll start it off. This is pre-soak. I'll get another when it dries. 

 

 

P.S. Sorry for the iPhone pic.

did a search and didn't find this thread. looks like it needed to be brought back up. (IMO at least)

I'll bump up this thread as I'm starting to look for a nice raw denim shirt to pick up for the fall.  I like the look of the Rogue Territory Denim shirt, and the pics of the Nudi Gunnar look pretty nice.  Anyone wear those?  I'd love to see how they have settled in. But, finding a raw denim shirt seems to be pretty tough around here... looks like they get released, then never really remade until the next season?

 

Anyone have good lead on other shirts?

The Flathead and Ironheart shirts at Rivet and Hide are very nice - was in there last week.

They also had an interesting UES one as well as Mister Freedom and Stevenson Overall co.

Give Danny a shout - he'll be able to answer any questions.

OK I will risk a flaming by offering the following from Bob Dong (stop laughing at the back):

I have this shirt. I'm not naiive enough to believe it's an original design, but not switched on enough to know, or be worried about where it's origins lie. I'm very happy with it. I have the size 38 which is sized exactly as I wanted it, but is probably more in line with a typical european small. The denim is weighty for a shirt, but doesn't feel like the 13oz they claim. It's fading up reasonably nicely. It's in the wash as I type this (a shirt has to be washed IMHO- 6 months would be disgusting and unfair to my family!) but will post some detail pics later if anyone's interested. The denim is a little neppy in paces, but I wouldn't call it a feature, but it is reasonably slubby, which gives it character. It took a good month of wear to soften up, but creases set in quickly and fades are quick to arrive and look good. My favourite is elbow wear, although forearm combs are nice too. It has some nice details, and some quirks. It's done some minor shrinking since it's been washed, and so there's a bit of twist to the sleeves. It doesn't look weird though. I cut off the chainstitch runoffs because I didn't like it. Regret it a little now. The buttons are plastic, but look ok. The pockets are borderline pointless, but look good. It wasn't expensive, but for the price I paid (incl proxy fees and shipping) I'd say the quality is higher than I had a right to expect, but of course, it won't stand the same level of scrutiny that something from TFH, UES or mr freedom would.

All in all, notwithstanding any IP issues anyone may point out, I'd recommend this shirt to anyone looking for a beefy, well made denim workshirt that doesn't break the bank.

couple of fit pics - colour is off - don't know why. Also - angle is weird because I couldn't be arsed to set up my camera to take these. Sorry!

I have the RgT Utility shirt and a PBJ Deep Indigo Western shirt.  I really like the RgT shirt because it fits so well, but it seems like a really slow fader.  I'm starting to see fades on the PBJ and it's shaping up to be really nice.

Great posts! I had been thinking about getting this same shirt myself, it's interesting to see fit and fade pics.

 

I have a couple of Bob Dong shirts (a chambray and a wabash work shirt) myself and I concur with your sizing info - they fit very small and the measurements don't tell the whole story. They're very trim, sizing up 1 or 2 is the thing to do.

 

Regarding your thoughts on IP issues - when this shirt popped up on Taobao I noticed the exact same shirt (even the product shots seemed to have been taken by the same person) under the RRL label. In this case, I think that means whoever is behind the Bob Dong brand is also pandering to people looking for RRL "inspired" clothes. Surely doesn't take away from the solid construction of those... "Dongs", though.

Thanks. I love my Dong. Would be very interested to see the wabash and chambray. They're both options I had been considering too.

I'll try to take some pics over the weekend!

Would be nice to see what denim shirts you are using.


I could not find a dedicated shirt thread.
Therefore I started this one.

A place to discuss denim shirts of all brands



If there are one out there already. Please redirect me to it.


I do not own many denim shirts, but the few I own I cherish and use as often as possible.


The one I have used the most has to be my Nudie Gunnar in dry organic denim.
Fabric: 100% cotton organic denim from Turkey
Weight: 11.5 oz

I shortened the length of the shirt a fair bit.
I love this shirt a lot and it only gets better over time.


I will try to take some more pictures of some of my other shirts that I love, use and abuse and post them here.
Please feel free to do the same




Anyhow, here are some photos of the Nudie shirt:
(They have been posted before in the Nudie thread. I hope you do not mind)

Looks great! I'd be glad to add some of my Flat Head denim shirt once it gets more wear. Which shouldn't be too hard, since it's the best-fitting shirt I've ever worn.

[holio cornolio]

Great shirt. I'm sure there was a similar thread but I can't find it now. Will post some pics of my bob dong (shirt) in a while.

Edit: meant to say, I love how you shortened it. Looks part shirt part shacket. Very cool

I found the other topic. I think it's called what about denim shirts or something. Cross post of my Bob Dong.

It's supposedly 13oz denim but I don't think so. It is selvage and is heavy, but I would guess 10-11oz. I'm told it's a ripoff of something expensive, and it probably is, but I don't think I really care too much. For the money it's pretty nice. I want to swap the buttons for some cats eye black corozo ones, but I'm buggered if I can find any. It will happen one day though. I think I will wear this today!

And some detail:

[shaddj]

there's a thread for that. and these all would do very nicely in it
