question on the TONY western - will the denim crock and / or fade with wear and wash? or will it hold that color?

As a brief aside, last night, my wife came home from a meeting wearing my Niche seed shirt (I feel like I am leaving something open for @unbelragazzo here), indicating that "I saw it in your drawer and thought I would just throw on one of your old t-shirts."

While I am not certain that she wore the shirt with the requisite level of steez, a wave of relief washed over me when I realized that the shirt was not stained with cheetos dust or red wine. Close call.

Daaaaam. It's stories like that that make me glad I'm a foot taller and about 60 lbs. heavier than my wife!

All fabrics, just like happiness and suffering, are temporary and fade with time

I'll ask him if he has any shirts in this specific dark denim color that have aged, but my guess is that yes, it will fade a bit over time. I don't mean in the sense of "sikk fadez" you'd expect from raw denim, but just overall lightening and softening of the fabric. I've had a few dark denim shirts and they've all faded in high-wear areas after years of wearing and washing.

Then you'll get, "I saw it in your drawer and thought I would just use one of your old t-shirts to polish the silverware." :devil:

Also, I am interested to see what Naissance came out with this year. They always have an interesting drop.

thanks kyle. yeah i wasn't expecting high contrast fadez or indigo bleeding, but i rather like the color of the shirt now and was curious if it was going to significantly lighten up in a year or two.

Is Inis Meain TTS? I usually wear medium in most brands, Eidos 50 and can't tell if I need to take an M or L. The measurements for M seem a bit small but the posts I've found so far seem to recommend TTS. Any advice would be much appreciated!

Same size as you, and I have never sized up in IM, although I have on occasion sized down.

I was sent these photos of the lighter denim after ~4 years of heavy wear, and it doesn't seem like TOO much of a difference. I'm wearing my western now (with my grizzly!) and to me it seems like you'd be ok for a while, but like anything cotton it will lighten over the years. Especially around the collar and cuffs
