      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.

      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…

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

        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.

            hmmm, will think about it a little more before giving my limited take.

            f^ck it why think .  . .  historically these sorts of items have the slow & steady thing going for them.  with IH expanding as it is it would be great to have a staple workshirt (sort of the way the 07 & 33 comes back every couple of months for the western set), but i can't really call it until i test drive the shirt.

              Seconded.  I'm wearing the 65, right now.  It's one of my favorite shirts.  Still scooping a 79, though.

                ^^ true…doh! 😠

                I already looked into the green 66 more than once tbh. but still trying to grab the different 46's if anyhow possible...so let's wait and see how things go! it's not on the top of my list to do things though atm.

                        have read through but still can't figure out. so what's the conclusion? is this gonna be "extant"? cos G mentioned he was discussing with H about it.

                        budget doesn't really allow a purchase at the moment.

                            I'd like to see a staple Cambrey workshirt in the IH lineup, but personally would like to see a heavier weight selvedge version - IHSH-21?

                              My opinion is that Iron Heart should have an extant, staple workshirt, and classic blue chambray fits the bill.  If you're only going to have one, I'd advocate for a midweight one, simply because that would be more versatile.  Heavyweight shirts are too warm for a lot of climates and would, I think, restrict sales.  That said, I would consider it more ideal to have Triple Works do a lightweight chambray as a staple item and Iron Heart do a heavyweight one as a staple.  Best of both worlds and possibly a way to draw folks toward the TW brand.

                              But you know what they say about opinions…

                                  so any news about this staying "extant" or getting marked "endangered" ?…

                                  would love to know if i need to jump on this one now, or if i have a few more days/weeks to get it and get some other things first!...

                                    No news yet. Don't hold your breath, I need to decide whether to extant this or extant something that I have not even dreamed up yet.  Haraki could be swayed, but I have other ideas brewing….
