@Fadez - I did volunteer my services, but no dice…

@Nocturama Probably shopping it to the retailers then. Solid CPO choices with Duck and Hickory. Hope these stay in continuous production

[Nocturama]

So…@Alex very kindly reached out to me yesterday, and a little over 24 hours later, I have the sample on my back!
The phrase ‘standing on the shoulder of giants’ never felt more apt, bearing in mind the forum legends that have previously put sample items through their paces, as well as the legendary status of the 12oz hickory, as used on the IHSH-07.
My wife gave the fit a nod of approval, so there is no excuse not to wear it continuously for the new few months and see what desk surfing does to the elbows! Straight into a conference call this afternoon, with garage clearing duties and a tip run scheduled for the weekend - I’m showing it the high life from the off!

Interestingly (?) the pocket tabs are grey compared to the red of the IHSH-07 - everything else is the same as the 07 as far as I can tell, but obviously there may or may not be changes by the time the production run comes in.

@Nocturama Right on dude stoked to see what this shirt can do!

[Matt]

Very cool.

[Fadez]

@Nocturama yes dude! Rock it so hard. We all want to see how the indigo evolves

[Matt]

@Alex were copper snaps considered for this?Seems like those would beef it up a little to complete the cpo vibe.

production run has copper snaps, indeed. It was a lost in translation thing - I said take the 07 and make it a CPO, they did literally that, instead of also putting CPO snaps on it...

[Matt]

I see. I think that will look really great once it’s realized. Nice job.

[DeeDee85]

Any chance of seeing a 07 with the copper snaps against it? @Graham I’d like to see how that looks with the stripes

[Oaktavia]

I firmly believe this hickory could age and fade beautifully if put through the works. I have yet to see any IH hickory fades that really hit that mark though. There are examples of faded vintage hickory online, but dude I would love to see some really feck one of these up.

@DeeDee85

I don't have any 'on file' but if you get a spare 10, I would fire through the 07 thread and the snap upgrade thread to see if one has been posted. I will do the same when I can and we will reconvene back here

Good point @Oaktavia - I looked through the entire 07 thread yesterday and there aren’t any really trashed examples, and that shirt has been around a looong time! @weftyarn probably has the most recent well worn example - but I wouldn’t call it f’d up, by any means.
I firmly intend wearing this shirt as much as possible in the coming months - getting it to the f’d up stage will be challenging, but if the opportunities arise, I won’t be shy!

[Oaktavia]

@Nocturama hell yeah man f it up!!!

[DeeDee85]

@Graham thank you mate, really appreciate the investigating

[weftyarn]

@Nocturama havent worn my 07 too much lately but it’s definitely worth taking some updated pictures Will post them soon as I get the chance
