Oh snap, the tricolore-weft is back (https://www.tenderstores.com/product/type-497-open-shoulder-floor-shirt/?variation=33143).

Indeed! I really like this fabric too, and it's particularly interesting how it takes the darker dyes, which make the colour variation much more subtle. I'll have one more variation in this fabric over the next few weeks, but I'm afraid none going to EU stockist this time. Here are some closeups of the 'rough' logwood and hadal purple dyed versions. The rough logwood was a test using a mix of old more coarsely ground logwood powder, it didn't dye as evenly as regular logwood (particularly the newest batch of black logwood which came out beautifully dark and clean) but I think works really well on this fabric, which is slightly coarser and heavier, and in this style, which works best as an overshirt/light jacket.

quick 132 post wash denim check…

@bartlebyyphonics denim looks great!

My 130 after a wash to follow @bartlebyyphonics. I must have had to re-stitch almost every stitch in the top block and back pockets but all good. Next to re-attach the one hanging belt loop.

My Hadal green overdyed 125's are slowly getting more difficult to pass off as black jeans. I'm alright with it though!

[rodeo bill]

lovely to see all these jeans @merzbot @irual @bartlebyyphonics, fading twisting and repairs all looking great. Really good to see a pair of hadal jeans wearing in, too- please keep us posted.

Here are my 12oz Cross Weave 136s. I get such a kick out of seeing the right-hand twist on a left hand twill fabric cut sideways 🙂

130 daily wear for over a year, maybe 2-3 washes.

Will do! I recently started working on a hadal brown reefer jacket.

[JDelage]

@merzbot -  Can you show that reefer jacket worn please?

seconded @JDelage, @merzbotI'd love to see it!

[merzbot]

For sure @JDelage and @rodeo bill! Here are some quick smudges :-)

I picked it up from the kind lads at BlkBlu. I'd normally go for a size 5 but I went for a 6. I didn't notice much difference in the body between the two and the 6 gave me a little more length in the sleeves and body. I'm really loving it. It's going to provide a nice layer of protection over a jumper this autumn and winter!

Say that again?

Type 410 three pocket square tail shirt in Achilles' Heel indigo dyed 10oz cross weave denim... now close your eyes and say that again 

I ummed and ahhed over sizes and could have gone larger but opted for a shirt fit rather than shirt/jacket fit.  I'd happily have another one in another fabric (top selection of fabrics kicking around) but would go a size up for layering.

This fabric is definitely special, lovely 3D texture and wonderful colour.  I gave it a couple of washes before wearing just to be sure to take off any excess dye (safety measure on my part; the shirt has actually had a wash after dyeing, and I understand that the dye is more firmly fixed than in a standard denim).

The pics below are pre-wash, taken indoors with the light on...
