      I really enjoyed reading this info in the latest newsletter. Dropping some heavy knowledge and Kiya's contribution is the icing on the cake. Cheers.

          How is the fabric on the old IH wabash dyed? I'm wearing my 55 today and would love to know.

            Pretty sure it's a discharge print, just like the new version.

              That was fabric dyed.  The woven fabric was dyed in an indigo bath.  It was then discharge printed.  The "problem" we had, was that indigo bled very very easily, too easily in fact, so Haraki garment dyed the discharge printed fabric with a pale brown fixing dye.

                But there will still be fading in areas of wear, correct?

                (just not as much as the new wabash is my understanding)

                            Check out e-workers.net. He's the dude that went to Virginia and found the old wabash directions in the basement of a mill. He then had a Japanese mill reproduce the exact fabric. I'd love to see the directions and if they call the twill weave a 2x1 denim or something different.

                              thats a trip.  finding a "recipe' like that and having it reproduced is f'ing cool

                                Yeah, I don't think there are any repro brands that are better than Workers right now. I bet their wabash is something special. I'd assume lighter weight than IH wabash though. Or who knows, might be made in the same place.
