Has anyone washed the Benji sweatshirt? Can it be machine washed?

Yeah I have. Turned it inside out and put it in a washer bag just to avoid pulls and such from my top load washer. Laid flat to dry. No issues.

Thank you, I was worried about it pilling in wash. Washer bag is a good idea.

Embrace the pilling.

Does the organic Sherpa fleece really pill since it’s a Sherpa texture already? Most of the time it’s the smoother textures that pill (like the Gonia example above)

the inside pills, which is where the shedding comes from. This doesn’t mean much for the Benji, since the pile side faces out. That said we have some reversible pieces coming this spring in the same quality and the photos above were the reference. What I really like about this fleece quality is that it looks like a 40 year old patagonia bunting piece right out of the box.

The reversible fleeces sound promising!

I really like the idea and inclusion of reversible pieces as it's something you don't see from many designers. I'm sure designing reversible pieces would bring its own unique challenges though. Is this going to be a focus going forward?

I think it’s fair to say that reversible everything has been a significant part of the brand thus far. Always like the idea of making a style that has different ways it can be worn.

Will you continue to use cotton sherpa? I didn't even know its possible to get that texture without any poly.

We have no plans to use synthetic sherpa in the future. I have a sample in hand and the flat knit size basically looks exactly like the Patagonia piece above.

@NickPollica any chance you share any more details about the patchwork goreckis dropping next week regarding price/quantity? Similar to initial drop?

Does anyone actually have the Aime Leon Dore x Timberland 3 Eyes that can comment on the fit? I just got sent the wrong size so I'm now on the hunt for a pair again. I normally buy the standard Timberland 3 Eye in my true size 10

Click one page back, couple people have them and commented on fit

That's kind of where I'm having an issue because I'm seeing full size down for some people and half size down for others, I can't seem to find any clear answers even in the ALD forums. I wear socks with them too if that's any further guidance for a sizing opinion. I pretty much buy every shoe I wear in a true 10

How'd you get the wrong size? Did you buy off Mr Porter and they did the wrong conversion (they list in UK sizing)? Most sizes still available there.

You bought the 9 and it was too small for your size 10 feet?

Yeah exactly that, bought off Mr. Porter and they messed up their sizing chart. I wanted a 9 but got sent an 8.5 and want to make sure the sizing is right to avoid returning back 2 pairs
