No, later than that.
I should have it next week. Maybe I'll turn up the A/C and wear it around the house to break it in.

I got all excited with the email campaign about limited number of double black jean jackets in stock.
Rushed over there and of course no XXXL. FCK!

He's usually really quick with the t's, but I did wait three or four weeks for one order and the above delay makes me think you might have a longer wait right now. They're nice shirts though. The crew necks are tubular, which I greatly prefer. Thanks. They look nice and I've been eyeballing them here and there since he released them. Do they shrink much after a wash? I've had one for like 5 months that he threw in on an order. I don't baby it, regularly wash and dry it. It has not shrunk much.
The fabric is great, and as bentin noted, the collar is thick.
As to fit, the sleeves are slightly longer than I prefer, but they are nice shirts. For reference my benchmark fits on T's are Gustin and JC**W.

Got my shirt. I like it. The brushed interior is really soft and the color is very nice. I'll be watching the forums and ebay for other shirts in the future. XXXL please........ Keep an eye on Grailed too. Oh yeah, maybe I'll head over there and setup a notification. Thanks for the reminder.

Well yes. With CF you have to be patient.
I've been wearing it around the house to break it in. Have not soaked it yet.
Do they have the same wait time on their T shirts? The website says 1-2 weeks but I'm not sure I trust how accurate that is. I'm pretty certain the shirts are stock items that are already made.
As for the work shirts, I just received this from Ciano about the delay.
>>>>>>>
I am so sorry for the delay on the workshirt, we had an issue with our current factory in Dallas helping us make these orders.
we gave the Dallas factory a deposit and fabric and trim to start and right in the middle of production the factory declared bankruptcy and closed down.
we could not get our fabric, the deposit, and all the trims for this order back from them..
so i had to scramble and remake all the Texas denim again and re purchase all the trims to fill all the orders we got for the work shirt.
I am currently making each workshirt myself and will get the balance of the orders out in around two weeks
I am working around the clock to get the workshirt orders done… this has been a nightmare and a learning experience for me

Thanks Dave. Thats good to know. I'll have it in a few days and see how I like it. Well, it's final sale, I better like it! Seriously getting fatigue on printed shirts though. I had the CPO version as well and agree that the photos don't do it justice, as is the case with many IH fabrics..you just have to see them in person to fully appreciate. I sold mine though because even though it is a very nice color I felt it just didn't look very flattering on me. My skin tone has trouble with reds and maroons. Ah thanks for the perspective. I"ll have mine tomorrow so we shall see.
On the upside for me, red is actually one of my best colors.

I am, but don't visit there very often. I like and wear my IH flannels often, as well as a few other shirts, but basically have quite buying since they cut out sales from Japan. Last flannel I bought was from Selfedge at their warehouse sale. I can't in good conscience pay $350 for a flannel shirt, but that's me, lol After staring at it for months, and no further discount forthcoming, I finally bought my first IH shirt.
It's the last xxxl that was sitting at Self Edge in Solid Burgundy. I just figured it's such a classic piece that I should have it for a long time.
I do like that new black corduroy a lot as well.

I spoke with the owner for about 30 minutes on the phone and provided product feedback.
I like their shirts, I'd like more casual fabrics.
If Dave runs out of codes, I have 3 as well which I can share.

I received my workshirt today. It fits pretty well.
Now I'm just trying to decide how to soak. I hear this Texas denim bleeds like crazy so I proably want to get some of it out first before I get stuck in the rain and ruin some other clothes I'm wearing at the time.
Or my car seats........

IDK about better as I don't have a pair of those. Have thought about them many times.
One of my favorite pairs of G's are the Zim light. That being said, they have two pairs I really really like up right now in the coal x black and the Italy double indigo.
I've been pondering buying a second pair of the Italy double indigo as my pair is 3 years old or so and I really like the fresh look on those.
I have the Italian indigo x indigo, nice denim but a bit to nice for what I'm looking for. Same with the coal blacks. I'm looking to replace my faded work jeans that are patched, ripped, cuffs falling off, etc for a nicer more even faded pair of everyday pair. I have the okayama's and like them but there a bit to destress to wear out with the wife. Same with the Zims, Heavys. Well then I'd say go BraveStar.
They have a 14oz cone 501 Levi Redline up for $68 that they just released yesterday. Old School, classic, and out of production.

What's the wait time on a pair of Chinos? Thought these were all made up and ready to ship. Ordered a month ago Had to be a pre-order. In stocks ship quick.
Both the sluboxious and the double black jean jacket are out of stock in XXXL's. Dangit. Their Regular Taper is my favorite jean cut I own. And the Chinos are a constant companion.

Oh man. After looking for days at sale stuff and finding nothing I caved to thier 30percent off and credit thing.
I bought a pair of swim trunks for 27 bucks and the new moto rust/gray shirt for 75 bucks and acquired a 20 dollar credit for future purchases.
Difficulty level: TS actually fits me AND I love the colorway and weave of the fabric.
So sick of boring fabrics and shirts I can't fit into. So there ya go!

I've been looking at these for a couple years with an eye towards a longer style that does not make me look like a rockabilly guy or motorcycle rider or numbers collector. I think I like this style in natural horsehide. I sent them my measurements from my tailor and am awaiting their response. Any thoughts here on options? button color? Will that leather fade out nicely over time and darken? www.aeroleatherclothing.com/product-detail.php?id=2391Vicenza Full Grain Veg Tanned Horsehide Navy Blue Liner

what buttons did yall choose: copper or corozo? I'm debating on ordering one for myself since I want to sell my TS one. I really wanted to go with copper but ordered corzo.
I decided the copper made it look more like a jacket or a shacket and I want a shirt aesthetic.

Noticed TS stopped their normal made in Spain 100% cotton chinos for some 98/2 spandex blend made in China. Anyone try these new chinos out? Or have a replacement for solid chinos? My favorite cut has been the TS camp pant fit. The last several releases have been in cruddy pre washed fabrics so I have passed.
I have 4 pairs of Bravestar chinos in Cramerton cloth. You should try a pair of those. The QVR (quality value ratio) on their products in the best I'm currently aware of and I prefer the Normal Taper cut jeans (4 pairs currently ownded) over G's slim taper (6 pairs) and CF's slim (3 pairs).
