@NickPollica I was curious what your take on drying clothes is other than the herringbone gauze fabric. If we're not worried about shrinkage is it okay and not bad for the fabric or keeping it's shape?

I generally hang dry everything other than socks and underwear but every time my wife does laundry she ends up drying some of my stuff like my ikat shorts.

Nice. This is the same herringbone gauze fabric and you’re making the suit right? Will the jacket be washed so that it matches what the pants will look like when washed?

They’ll be washed together so that they match, yes.

I’m definitely from the RL school of thought that everything looks better after it’s been washed and dried. If you are cool with your pieces getting smaller, the garments are (usually) better for it.

Hard to describe how damn impressed I am with the blue western shirt. The fabric is amazing. So frigging comfortable. I was just in vegas for 5 days and I think I wore it 3 of them for wandering. Pairs awesome most all the other 18 east stuff I own too - the crazy orange sweats, the white khadi denim, the red ikat shorts... so nice. Pictures don't do it justice, the fabric is just great.

For those of you sleeping on this one, you are blowing it. Truly.
