IHSH-43 Flannel Indigo Dyed Western Shirts

erm…

what are you washing it in???

[corporalclegg]

I wash it in the machine.  Thats the garage utility sink the water from the washer runs into.  Probably should have explained that with all the wood stain splash ups.

Giles, can we please get a similar shirt in the bigger sizes?  I have tried to stay away from this thread but it is still probably my favorite IH shirt (with the exception of the 08) and I need a XXXL!  I didn't say want, I NEED a XXXL!  Not sure if I can go on living without one…

[Giles]

Almost anything I get involved with will come in XXXL.  There is next to zero demand for XX and XXXL in Japan, and just was not made at all by IH until I requested it.  But occasionally Haraki will dream something up, make it in limited numbers, when that happens he just does not do the larger sizes.

Some updates, washed twice

Holy shit that's gorgeous!

Fucking nice man.
Did that lighten up a few shades or is it the pics?  My red one looks a lot darker but it's brand new with no wear yet.

great photos of a shirt i sooo hated because of the buttons.  when this shirt was released i saw Iron Heart in a very small box & anything out side of that box i trashed just because.  oh & it didn't help my feelings since that lovely fabric was given that indigo bath & hidden from me.

real nice pick-up

[corporalclegg]

Thanks guys, its definitely lightened up.  All of the blues seem much brighter than when I first purchased it.

I bet my red's going to look 

I also didn't like the buttons initially.  They've grown on me and now, I can't picture the shirt without them.

Haraki found a few in his stock room.  I took them off his hands - and if you don't like the snaps, we can pimp them for you with round Mother of Pearl snaps…..

That's very, véry bad news for me… Any mediums 

[Giles]

Yes, but all you needed to do was click on the red "SEE IN SHOP" link…...

[Seul]

Aaah already in the shop ey… Let me see whether I have the money for this...

Looks like Mr.G has been surprising us lately.
Oh how I hate surprises…

G, how much thicker are these compared to 37 ? Do you think it is suitable for weather ranging from 24-30 celcius ? I'm on the fence of getting one.

[Giles]

Quite a lot thicker.  Not as thick as a super heavy flannel, but certainly thicker than the 37.  Would make a nice cooler evening shirt, but I think too hot for all day wear in those temperatures…..

Hmm i see, how about a comparison with 16oz sh-08SBG ? how thick and breathable is SH-43 compared to those ?

[Giles]

I'd say not as thick and more breathable…..
