      @MikeC:

      The fabric is very thick. You can tell it was a bitch to sew due to the super heavy thread that was used. It starts off kind of shiny and stiff, but after several wears, it softens up similar to denim. It's thick enough to walk threw pickers in the New England woods with little penetration. They do come up a tad small in length, especially the front. I'm an XL in IH shirts, but this is an XXL. It's one of my favorites, but I haven't had a chance to wear it because it's not spring/summer weight (12oz).

      Are "pickers" like nettles or thorns?

        Yep, thorns.  I'm not sure I would call nettles prickers though.  This shirt would destroy nettles too though if you were wondering  😉

          Cool.  I've got the IHSH-56 in black and never thought to test the material this way but I'm glad someone else has tried.

            Just would like to reiterate just how awesome and versitile this shirt is.  The fabric is like armor in brush and forest debris. At the same time it is totally soft and has this stiffness sort of to it. Looks like a dress shirt but wears like a goddamn breastplate. This is some stubborn shit

              This would be a perfect shirt to add the "Liberty Cuffs" to, that G picked up the other day.

                I hadn't thought of that, but you are definitely right.

                  i've been wearing a black 56 about 1-2x a week for the past six weeks and it's really starting to break in nicely, i have a feeling this shirt is going to be epic

                    Wow, what a fantastic piece of craftsmanship this shirt is.  Love the short cut too - suits the IH-555-03 perfectly.

                    Thanks to Giles & Paula for the fantastically quick service 🙂

                          I wear a XXL. It fits like an XL.

                            Thanks guys, really pleased with it.

                            Finn - this one's a L and is just about on the limit for me size-wise.  XL may have been slightly more comfortable for length, but wouldn't have been as fitted as this around the chest (I have a merino tee on underneath).  Irrelevant anyway, as XL is out in all colours!

                              Hi GM, looks great and so pleased you like the 56. One of the underrated shirts IMHO.

                                    Oh boy.  You shouldn't have done that.  I've just gone and purchased a medium Khaki and the last medium Ivory.  That means I now own all three colours.  That's an IHSH-56 holy trinity, people!

                                        Thanks Finn.  It's one of my favourite IH shirts: super-tough and cut just right for my frame.  I'd been thinking about Ivory and Khaki for ages and when this price came along decided it was too good to let slip.

                                            Be happy to, but I'm not expecting delivery for a few more days.  I've been away over New Years so had these stacked until I returned.

                                            At the risk of repeating myself, these shirts are awesome.
