IHSH-79 - Slubby Blue Mid-weight Chambray Workshirt

[Giles]

I'm guessing this is about 5 or 6oz

[Qinhan]

Thanks.  This is significantly lighter than the IHSH-13 then.

Any chance we could see a color difference pic between this and the 13?

[Giles]

Top - IHSH-79
Bottom - IHSH-13 (which was/is used in IHSH-09 and IHSH-21)

Haraki and I are discussing whether this should be extant - Views?

You can't go wrong with a blue chambray.  They're just great, classic shirts that I find myself wearing more than any others items in my rotation.  I have a 13 and a 21 but I still want the 79.

reading that made me feel better.

thanks Clint.

I'm def happy with the lightweight stuff being extant, feel like that stuff gets left behind sometimes

Glad to know I'm not the only one!

[hajduk]

how to explain?

[madmonday]

not sure G, let's see how this does abroad as well as in Japan & then we decide?

hahahahahaha

Clint_D just looked you up (i'm weird i tend to look up forum members when they say something interesting . . . so i can figure out if it's just a fluke or if they are really brilliant  :-[) & have to say publicly thanks for having a good memory.  if you know you know

this!…at this time i'm really un-happy that the IHSH-46 for example were endangered. really would love to be able to cop a few of those lightweight shirts when the time is right (so like now!)...or maybe just put them on extant as long as the season goes!?
some shirts just need their time to become a great seller I think, so if they'd be around a bit longer you'd def. sell more of'em, even if they went pretty slow at the beginning!...

Have you taken a look at the mock-twist chambrays in the Western cut? I have the 66 and very much recommend it for warmer weather.

[madmonday]

question before i give my (serious) thought, was the fabric & hardware made just for this shirt?

[Giles]

It's difficult to extant stuff that we specifically spec the fabric for.  It easier when it is ":Haraki Select" and he can call off what he wants when he needs it….

o/course I have mate, but I also think about the western versions to use as future "workshirts" in the office and a button down is imo way more "office approved" as the same fabric but with snap buttons…

Nope.  Fabric is "Haraki Select" that is fabric that is not designed by the crew, but is available in the market.  He has to do this with certain fabrics because the minimum quantities are so huge.  And we have used t he black cats eyes on other stuff (IHSH-53 springs to mind, as that is what I am wearing atm)…

Fair enough, that makes sense (you mean workshirts for the office and not westerns I think?). Kinda crazy how there are still a bunch of 66s available in the larger sizes but maybe green isn't so popular.
