IHSH-380-IND - 12oz Dobby Cloth Work Shirt - Indigo
-
@Denimminer I’ve only tried mine on so far but my first impression is that it should breathe well. I’ve been trying to work out how the fabric feels both heavy (in the positive IH sense) but also airy. It’s not exactly transparent but you can see background colours if you hold it up to the light. Agree that James is your man for first-hand experience.

@Denimminer It feels like a tight weave compared to other sashiko-ish fabrics I had but still breatheble and not too hot when worn as a standalone. Also it is one of the few heavier shirts of which I think you can role the sleeves up easy

I am 6.7 (200cm) and 93kg (205lbs). In all my UHFs I wear XXXL (all WESTERN). Same for the Selfedge exclusive moleskin CPO.
Based on the description above, my initial thought was sizing up to 4XL. However, after having had the chance to try own the shirt, I can say 3XL fits like a glove. For me arm length and overall length are most critical. I’d describe the fit as fitted but not tight.
Forearms are definitely on the tighter side but start to losen up already after a few hours of wear.
Hope this helps

@Alexander looks great on you man. I don't think I've seen you on here before but I think I recognize your profile photo from Instagram.
-
Haha - I’d say, I read more than I post but thought with this thread adding more reference points is helpful due to this one being a bit tricky to fit. My instagram is ab_crafted.

Hello !
Just received mine.
Very difficult to capture the colour and the texture. Here are some pictures. I am on the bigger side (185 / 91 kg) and I took 4XL. I was worried on the chest (I am 116) and the belly (no comment lol). I tried different expositions etc … impossible to really render the real thing. It is a deep dark blue / black thread. The blue is gonna get brighter and the contrast will increase with time. No problem for me in the forearms but I understand it could be problematic for muscular guys ! It is a thick fabric.
This is a beautiful shirt, very versatile in its uses, wonderful colour, classy.

@Germinal you are so true it’s so difficult to catch this amazing fabric on a photo.. but eitherway it looks terrific on you and i’m happy you like it!
-
@Germinal Looks good on you! I love it more everyday I'm wearing it. It's very cozy and as you said versatile. I have worn it as a smart shirt for also the last two days at work unbuttoned over my work clothes doing a lot of lifting and running around
-
@FlavourFade @Heavy_blue thank you guys ! My wife really loves it too … she told me I should wear it direct on the skin. I think it is a sign
-
So I received mine last night and I love it. Just wondering if I missed something because as far as I knew this was suppose to have the red W on the pocket too?

@Germinal when the wife approves then you’re good to go

@Germinal I think this is helpful! Between the two of us, it shows that 3XL and 4XL are really not that far apart if I can make 3XL with 2 meters and 93kg work and you can make 4XL with 1.85 and 91kg work
-
@Alexander I agree. We are the super helpful lol
-
@Alexander it's even funnier when I tell you I am 184 / 95kg and wearing XXL. Could have gone 3XL for more room in the chest and belly but then shoulders and sleeves would have been off

Showed up today. XXXXL. I’m about 6 feet tall, OK maybe half an inch under. I’ve shrunk in my old age. 220lbs. Fits pretty well, upper arms and forearms are pretty tight, but I feel like they’re going to stretch out pretty quick. I’m glad I sized up from my normal XXXXL.
-
@northsouthdenimguy edit: normally wear XXXL

First time posting and new to the game. Over the last year, purchased some IH jeans, flat head shirt, and now this IH shirt. I’m obsessed with the IH craftmanship. This shirt screams quality and excellence right out of the paper bag it came in. While the sleeves are obviously tight, I wonder if I only notice it b/c I know it's there (sort of like, noticing yellow VW bugs after someone mentions it). That said, I really wish they kept the red W, which was present on prior samples.
Not sure if it was explained why but curious why they removed it?
Otherwise, I am wearing this shirt every day and love just looking at the quality and texture.

Read just a few posts back in the thread and you’ll find info about the red w @zcavaricci
