yeah this shirt is awesome. been wanting a medium for a long time. let's just hope it doesn't go extinct and there's gonna be a re-run soon.

honestly, this shirt deserve more love than what's given. I bought 1 from self edge and it was amazing! too bad there's some problem and the shirt was sent back to H. now I just wish I can quickly get my hands on one!

[crankyfart]

btw G, whats your size on this? im wondering if i should just get the L in store or continue to wait. seeing that its "endangered" in the store, i'm starting to get worried on whether i'll ever lay hands on this beauty. 

[Giles]

Large.  G

[crankyfart]

so it's really a medium for me. been finding means and ways to own this beauty. sigh.

Just decided that we will rerun this shirt.

But, we will use the same metal buttons as IHSH-68 and use brown constructional thread instead of white…..

And the option of pimping it (for an additional fee) with the mermaid liberty cuffs while supply last?

[Giles]

Yep….

Nice, I can size correctly now.

YESSSSS LIKE FINALLY!!!

G, i'll take a medium. ETA? i don't mind making payment first if need be. 

note to self, "I AM NOT GONNA MISS THIS BEAUTY THIS TIME!"

but on a side note, any reason for the brown constructional thread rather than white?

@Giles:

MM, I think that's a great idea.  I was actually just going through my button drawer wondering what I could do to change the look a little.  I like the idea of the darkish brown thread that we used on the ducks…..And I think I'd change the buttons to a brown to match.....

I bought this off MikeC. His has the buttonhole issue that a few have mentioned.

I took it to a local custom jean shop that do repairs as well. They said the buttonhole can be repaired by hand but won't look that great. He said he was surprised at the quality of the stitching compared to other IH items he had seen. He said the needle used for the stitching was too large for the lighter weight denim and that the placket should of been reinforced beforehand. Also, he said the buttonholes were too large for that size button, or the buttons were too small for the buttonholes, however you want to take that. He's going to fix the buttonhole that is coming undone and tighten the buttonholes on all the other holes so they dont slip out easily. He also pointed out that all of the other buttonholes will eventually come apart as well because they were already starting to show signs of it. This was just his opinion but it seemed like he knew what he was doing.

I'm sure you guys will address these issues with the rerun.

Also, he said if I really loved the shirt he could replace the placket but it would be fairly expensive and would obviously be a different denim.
