Feeling like a ranch hand today…

I hadn't been wearing it as much as I should've but after a wash and a little time in the dryer it shrunk about 2" in the length. Perfect

[Chiba J.]

Did it only shrink in length? Mine is just a little baggier than I like. Wondering if I can take care of that with a little dryer action. Yours is one wash correct?

[grandmasterben]

Mine is the one-wash. I didn't take measurements unfortunately, but I would say it shrunk a little everywhere (especially the length.) I only did a cold wash and low dry for about 25 minutes, so I'd say that if you upped the heat a little you'd probably get it to shrink. Good luck!

[grandmasterben]

Amazing.

[Snowy]

I saw a photo of that on Kiya's IG, the fabric looks amazing!

[grandmasterben]

It really is. I ordered the indigo one from Japan already but the white one is for sure on par. I didn't think so originally but the fabric is gnarly

[davito]

Right on Ben great choice

[kiya]

The indigo one is wild because of how the pattern is dyed into the fabric, part of it is discharge dyed then part of it is discharged to turn the fabric white then a red dot is put OVER the discharged area.

[grandmasterben]

The indigo one is wild. I love it

Honestly my favorite pattern of anything anywhere.

[tatmantall]

oooo lala I like that beauty

[davito]

Superb catch Ben, wear it well

[tatmantall]

You guys and your mister freedom make me jealous… I'm hesitant cause feel I couldn't pull it off

[grandmasterben]

Thank you David my man, you know I will!

And tmt: I'm sure you could. If you dig what mister freedom does dont let the fear of not being able to pull it off bar you from picking up some of his pieces.

They seem experimental but in person they're pretty normal and surprisingly easy to wear, albeit unique… In my opinion of course.

[Arabit]

I need to visit the MF store! Haven't been there yet and I live in the Valley SMH

[grandmasterben]

It's the coolest store I've ever seen. Maybe even cooler than self edge…

I know what you mean, I've tried on pieces when in JP that look a bit out there on me, that look perfectly at home on Davito and Ben. I wonder if it's mental game or not…..

[RocknRoll]

Agreed Snowy, I think there's a large mental component to it; if you wear something confidently you've got a greater chance of pulling it off. Having said that, it's hard to get  that confidence if you're not sure - deep down - that the clothes match your personality.

So many people wear clothes just because they've seen someone else making it look good, without thinking if they can actually pull it off themselves. Luckily people round here are generally a bit more discerning!

At the end of the day, it's a fairly personal thing.
