Fading Chambray: Rigid LVC 2 Pkt Sunset Shirt

Denimhunters_Rigid_LVC_2_Pkt_Sunset_Shirt (1)

Levi’s Vintage Clothing’s 1920s 2 pocket Sunset shirt is one of our favourites. A clean and simple design with a boxy silhouette, the rigid “Made in the USA” version shrinks almost a full size and fades dramatically from a dark grey to that classic chambray blue. If you have patience you might even see some honey combs on the sleeves like on this beautifully worn in example.

Comparison of a new and a faded shirt that has been worn frequently for many months and only washed five or six times.

Still, as of today Unionmade and Aero Leathers have a few left.

Thanks for posting this. You recommended picking a true size. Was it
including soaking/washing? I wear M in general and sunset shirts in M
fits me fine(Turkey made) so I was considering picking a rigid two
pocket sunset(US made) in L and soaking it to shrink to M-ish. Do you
think my plan will work fine?
