IHSH-08 16oz Super Black Western Shirt

[hectic]

Really enjoying this shirt. I like the "clothing as armour" concept, in addition to providing normal garment function I am enjoying the protective carapace quality that it offers. I am reminded of the Isaye Miyake dresses of the previous decade that imposed a particular shape on the wearer. Actually thinking about it in general the IH design ethos fits well with a world in economic crisis: there is a lot to said for dressing yourself in something completely dependable and enduring when there is so much uncertainty elsewhere.

Wait till Pete rocks the SExIH 35oz denim, Vest, SuperBlackWestern & Black Rider…
he'll be wearing and carrying almost 100 oz of pure denim.

35 + 22 + 16 + 22 = 95 (Almost 100 oz of crazy IH denim)

Here's my pic… been wearing the Armor Metal Shark for 3 days straight! Just can't take em' off.
This shirt is so versatile, you can even wear it as a jacket. Be prepared to break em' in too...

What's up Dchill…. thx for the SuFu comment!
I went with Large (same size as other IH stuff).

This shirt is a MONSTER! 
...From construction, rigidness, design and fit...

So I was discussing some sizing stuff with Dchill in regards to the IHSH-08 and wanted to share something I told him. When sizing, remember that this shirt because of it's weight, is very stiff. Once the creases are set in the arm you will loose some length in the sleeves. I say this because if you are worried about the sleeve length measurement being too long, take this into consideration. Cheers and more fit flicks from everyone else who owns one!

This guy knows his stuff, btw if you're wearin' it might as well post up!

If I  were wealthier, I'd buy another one G. Haraki-San should never stop making these….ever. There is an endless market for them. They literally are an embodiment of perfection.

[hectic]

DB problem I reckon…?

[Giles]

Simon.  We had to do a database restore - for reasons I won't bore you with - and we lost a number of recent posts.  I am so sorry that your first day of posting has been troublseome.  Giles

[Giles]

Simon.  To answer an earlier question of yours.  There are no XXL left in IHSH-08 - not even in Japan.  To answer Hectics suggestion, there are still a couple of XXL in IHW-01 (Melton Wool) jeft in stoick…G

[hectic]

Simon, I was a little too big for the XXL Melton, otherwise I would def own it.

[SimonQ.]

Thanks for all of yours posts. I think the XXL wool would be too big - concerning the given measurements. Its like the XXXL in this western. Pitty but do not want to send anything back if I´am pretty sure it wont fit anyway. The XL in the wool is also sold.. ^^

Will there be any restock of the black western or is it gone ?

Thanks !
