IHSH-21-BLU - 10oz Selvedge Chambray Work Shirt - Blue

[Guest]

That is a very nice fabric. It's a wool gabardine in a 2:1 weave, if I can tell correctly. The 2:1 weave is similar to what you get in jeans and is the reason that you see diagonal ribs. It means 2 over and 1 under, like a step pattern. It's usually not used for formal wear and has a slight military character. It's also very sturdy. So if you don't put satin lapels on it, you will be able to wear that suit as a great black suit on other occasions, too.

Same for Chambray. Usually not formal wear. I might look for a normal white cotton batiste. Also remember that if you have a three piece suit and a rather heavy shirt, things might get hot, especially when dancing. So a lighter shirt would be good. The indigo denim tie though would be killer. You could then use an indigo chambray with a slight sheen as a breast pocket handkerchief (pochette).

This is our new heavy chambray shirt.

This guy's personality is "two-faced" in good way. It's face…

…and this is inside. It's beautifully sewn if you see both from inside and outside.
You can see clear button on neck band, can't you? This is reinforced button. You don't usually see that on casual shirts, but I use it for extra durability.

3/16 inch wide triple stitch and selvedge gusset for durablity! I personally like the width of the triple stitch and it  is rare technique…

This work shirt looks great, without doubt this will be my first IH purchase, can't wait. 

One thing, I'd like to see added to make it perfect though: an additional bottom button, when one is slightly overweight (I am) it will gape when tucked in to my jeans without it.

Any ideas on price G?

$310…G

Nice shirt. Understatement I know, but after looking at all the western shirts for so long and honestly hating them, I'm pretty psyched there is a heavy work shirt being done.  Nice to see some variety in styles not just fabrics.

Now where is the workshirt done in heavy denim

[Giles]

On the drawing board…G

yes. Construction is insanely beautiful - as always…great fit, Lord Giles

[hectic]

Yeah detail is really great. I assume the stitching run offs are real?

[Giles]

Yes. and triple chain stitching this close is really difficult.  Haraki is really proud of it..G
