IHSH-62-IND - 12oz Wabash Western Shirt - Indigo
-
The IHSH-55 was brown overdyed to control the bleeding. Haraki-san tinkered with the process and hence the brighter IHSH-62. The IHSH-55 has a vintage look.

G, are you expecting a restock of these any time soon?

Thanks Furatto. I saw G's post about possible changes in colors, etc. Did not see that original post itself. Like a tidal wave of gear..

Shortened exactly 1 inch. They were able to shorten it without touching my chainstitch runoff and triangle thingies… The girl in the shop showed me the shirt, I said it was ok, she then took a pair of scissors and wanted to cut off the runoffs!.. I placed my hand IN BETWEEN the scissors and almost frantically shouted NO KEEP 'M ON!..
Either way:
-
Much better… perfect fit now.
-
Picked one of these up from SE last week… I love the shirt perfect fit after soak but have a question.
The chain stitch runoff on mine is more than slightly uneven. One side is nearly 7 inches long and the other is just about 3... I might just be being picky but looks really odd to me when one hangs and has such a dominant presence aesthetically compared to the other. Is there anyway to trim this? I'm worried it will in ravel and I (for one) am a huge fan of the runoff
-
Just hack away with scissors. I cut off the run-off on my 55 and nothing bad has happened.
-
Alrighty appreciated fellas, just wanted to double check before I did something I would regret.
-
If you're really, really worried about it, you could put a small knot in the end of the runoff, just to be extra sure that it won't unravel.
And by the way- congratulations on picking up what is easily my favorite IH shirt.

Pics, or it didn't happen.:D

This one will fade like CRAZY, trust me…
I gotta agree w/ Seul. I have only worn it about 4 times and did two hot soaks and edges are already showing a bit of fading… I'll try to get up some pics today or tomorrow
-
Just wondering from the cats that have relished both the 55 and 62 wabash experience… I know that there is the color difference, but which fades the most? Or should I say, which fades the quickest with wash, and with wear? Since the 55 was overdyed, will it eventually end up the same as a 62?
Thanks for any help
-
The 55 will not end up the same as the 62 because they are different fabrics (the dyeing process was different iirc). The 55 is more of a slow fader but I am getting there with mine.
