Subtly aged Wested shirt (pic).
This look has been achieved after two lots of washes and left to dry rolled tightly in a net bag, plus the use of spray starch on the long seams and the epaulettes.

Now take it outside and beat it against the ground for a little bit. Then put it on and roll around in the dirt in it. Cut one of the epaulet buttons off. Put the hangar on the trailer hitch of your car and drive around the block with the shirt dragging behind you. That ought to loosen it up a tad.

It's a nice looking shirt, but I wouldn't say it's "distressed"

Re: Subtly aged Wested shirt (pic).
Thanks for the feedback folks, I see your point. I did wish to distress the shirt, not destroy it!
Have changed heading accordingly.

Indy's shirt got destroyed on many an occasion. If you want the shirt to look "distressed," don't be afraid to do a few things to it. Ok, dragging it behind your car might not be the best thing in the world, but I'm serious about beating it against the ground for 5 minutes and cutting an epaulet button off.jones the whip wrote:I did wish to distress the shirt, not destroy it!

The truth is they are a bit square shaped and they do come up quite large.Tundrarider wrote:JTW,
The fit is fantastic! I thought the Wested shirts were more boxy with a less tapered look. It looks great.

I'm 5' 11" and reasonably built but still ordered size small on the advice of other members.
I then had the shirt altered to fit tight by a local seamstress.
Cheers,
