Looks good man. Info on trousers?

Thanks. They are a cotton flannel corduroy from an Epaulet “Ends for Friends” event a few years back. They kick ass, but I’ve never seen a fabric like them any other time.

Just got in my Carbons from Mr. Porter, and they are considerably more washed than my other pair... My other pair is pretty black, where as this new pair is a very washed black w/ deep fading from the knee up. I will take a comparison pic tomorrow when I have better lighting available, but has anyone experienced this with Carbons?

There are always slight variations pair to pair and especially season to season.

The black Dillons come to mind, the first run was significantly different than following runs

My first pair of carbons were notably lighter in color than my second pair, the onyxs i have also were lighter than what ive seen from most other people on here

I guess its just the luck of the draw

When do you guys wash your hoodies? I have my flash 2 dual zip that I’ve been wearing pretty much everyday for 3 weeks and it’s been developing honeycombs on the arms. I definately don’t want them to set in so I’m
Thinking it’s do for a wash or dry clean. Has anyone run into this with any terry items?

If it doesn’t smell bad or isnt visibly dirty don’t wash or dry clean it. Buy a steamer or throw it in the dryer to get the “honeycombs” out.

Daily for 3 weeks? Might be time man. Terry holds onto smell a lot more than jeans

I would definitely give it a cold wash and lie to dry at this point. Never had honeycombs appear though.
