Bahzad & Risa had some additional information on the indigo dyed HW T-shirts on the March 14th Wonderlooper livestream.
The indigo dying process is expensive, so they are planning on taking pre-orders in April and then anticipating a couple months for production before shipping.
They are setting the price based on the base shirt price plus the dying cost, and estimated around $236 for the darker colors and $215 for the lighter shades at current exchange rates.
Link to the relevant segment of the livestream:

@whacim Thanks for the update details. I guess I can uncross my fingers wishing that the dying was going to be $20
-
@whacim Thanks for this, but wow, that's a huge markup for the dying. I'd sooner buy another plain white one and have a go in a bucket at home!

I think the main reason the dying is so expensive is because they are being hand dyed in the Tokushima prefecture. They are growing the indigo, fermenting it and dyeing it. From what I understand it is basically one of the most expensive ways to get something indigo dyed. However I was also disappointed in the pricing. I find the whole process cool but it is really hard to justify buying a tshirt that expensive.

@EdH looking at buying one of these t-shirts. deciding between an L and XL. what are your chest/shoulder measurements (and height, i guess, if that is not too intrusive) ā and which size do you prefer after wearing them for a while?
-
@akohut I like both the L and the XL sizes I have. I prefer the L for a fitted look (see my post here) which I can wear under my shirts or just as a T-shirt, or the XL for a relaxed, oversized look (see OP at the top) which I tend to wear with shorts or under a hoodie.
I have no idea what my measurements are; I go off my current clothing that fits well. Take a T that fits you well at the moment and compare to WL's sizing, which can be found on any of their product pages. Be sure to measure the same way they do when comparing; they do not do the shoulder measurement in the same way Iron Heart do, for instance. Below is how WL do it.

@EdH thanks for this. i know for sure the L will work. just trying to figure out if the XL will be comically large. i don't have many oversized t-shirts, so that's why i was going by measurements. chest/shoulders will work i think, but more worried about the length
-
@akohut Yeah, they have plenty of length. I'm 178cm and the XL almost completely covers my butt at the back.
