So is the general consensus that the Mechanic's shirt is one of the "best" TS shirt offerings? I was hoping for a restock of the Yosemite in my size, but I may just grab a Mechanics since it seems really functional. It's not my favorite shirt but my most versatile/used. I've gone from it being a base layer to worn on its own to wearing a tie all in the same day. It's a 4 season shirt. When I'm not sure what I'll be doing, it's my go to. Great to wear to work or laying around the house. |

I have debated the California shirt as well, but while as good as the TS shirts are, I think I could get something more unique than just a classic chambray. $25 gift card is really burning a hole in my pocket. |

I'm in on the british khaki. Love that color.
Can anyone report back on mechanics shirt shrinkage after washing? I haven't washed my black one yet.

You know the answer is to buy the black one to make the wait on the mustard one survivable. |

P.S. they call the new mechanics "indigo," but it's indigo in color name only.

I wouldn't expect more Yosemite until fall, though I suppose a restock isn't totally out of the question. |

British khaki is sweet! I did size up to a 44 for the mechanic shirt. Traded to whiskey for my 42. I feel my run came in tight in the stomach and arms.

Do they say somewhere that it isn't indigo dyed? It looks indigo dyed... Taylor Stitch Customer Service: Ryan! →Mina! Haha. →For clarification, this shirt is NOT indigo-dyed, correct? Taylor Stitch Customer Service: Indigo fabric, not an indigo-dyed garment. →Indigo-colored fabric that isn't actually made of indigo-dyed yarns, correct? Taylor Stitch Customer Service: Indigo fabric is made with indigo-dyed yarn, yes. The the fabric is pre-washed, though. Not like the new Indigo Utility Canvas shirt which is made of canvas that was natural in color and then dyed indigo. Ya dig? →Yeah I dig. So this WILL fade then? But not as intensely as the selvedge canvas? Taylor Stitch Customer Service: Wait wait wait Taylor Stitch Customer Service: Scratch all of that. That is wrong. Taylor Stitch Customer Service: New explanation: →Haha. K. Taylor Stitch Customer Service: All our Mechanics shirts are made of the same fabric; the fabric gets its color not from being dyed, but being colored in a process called 'roll-printing'. Taylor Stitch Customer Service: So essentially, this new Indigo Mechanics shirt was roll-dyed the color indigo. Indigo dye was not used in the process. →Ah, ok. Indigo in color name only. Taylor Stitch Customer Service: Right, you got it. →Thank you so much, Mina! Taylor Stitch Customer Service: Welcome! |

Though I guess you could over-dye it indigo and get some interesting fades out of it. |
