@derek111 it’s a beautiful texture, color, fabric. Regular photos appear more like a grey or light blue oxford type shirt. Much thicker, and cool design with the extra elbow / forearm layer. Overall nice heft and weight to it. I would definitely size up in this shirt.

I really like that extra elbow feature on Samurai shirts.

It's been a heck of a week for new gear for me. My wife said she wanted to get me a new shirt to celebrate some recent work success. We narrowed it down to the IHSH-326-BLK and the Samurai 'Sengen' Jacquard Work Shirt. I chose the 326 and thought it was over. As it turns out, she (sneakily) got me both.
Just wanted to give some love to the Sengen here. It's got a great drape, almost like a light/medium weight knit blanket. Airy but very soft. You can't really see the pattern that well in new stock photos but from my closeups below, hopefully you can tell the pattern + the indigo/indigo gives it interesting fade potential. I love the cat's eye, mother-of-pearl style buttons too. If I had any criticism, I wish the top button was a little lower. It's in an awkward place where unbuttoned is too much chest, but buttoned is too restrictive to movement. But not a big deal with the shirt being so soft. The one I got from Rivet and Hyde is part of their "western" lineup so the XXL I got fits more like a traditional Japanese XXXL. It's a little billowy at the moment, but I prefer that to tight these days, and I'm thinking it may come in and mold a bit over time with wear/washing.
Here it is right out of the bag:
This is after a hot wash and hot dry:
