IHSH-79 - Slubby Blue Mid-weight Chambray Workshirt

[seanocono]

Received this the other day. Such a nice shirt. Fantastic fabric and weight. This will get heavy play this Spring/Summer/Early Fall.

Come on guys, lets see some fits

[Simon]

Here you go.

[Giles]

Looks just as good on you there as it did in the office….

[GingerMagician]

Superb fit, Simon.

Must…resist...

[grandmasterben]

Looks great Simon! Thanks

[Giles]

Today, Haraki and I decided that these will be extant…

[Seul]

You made some great decisions today @ G&H… 

[MikeC]

It's enroute.  I'll have it, in a week or so. Fits pics, coming soon.  I sold my IHSH-46 black to get this. I got a size XL, which seems a little big, but I think it will shrink down perfect, over time.  Especially the sleeves.

Awaiting your review on this lovely shirt

I was pretty close to picking this shirt up a week or so ago, but the sheer amount of great stuff landing for Autumn/Winter has made me keep my powder dry…for now.

Not sure how long I can hold off for though, really loving the look of it...

[Giles]

It's extant, no urgency…..

[Simon]

Most Chambray shits are made with the warp threads running longitudinally, i.e. from top to bottom. On the 79 Haraki seems to have rotated the material by 90deg so the warp runs transversely, ie from left to right, right to left. Look at the picture on the bottom of page 1 comparing the IHSH-79 to the IHSH-21, the  grain of the shit therefore appears to have horizontal strips as appose to the standard vertical grain.

Love this shirt

Extremely important to me: how is it on the skin? Soft touch or rougher?  ??? ??? ???

[Simon]

It's not rough as such, but is quite crisp for the weight.

[georgeel]

Thank you, Simon, I needed that.

[grandmasterben]

Has anyone sized down in this?  From the measurements it looks like it could be do-able…

[seanocono]

My experience is TTS is the way to go in this.

[grandmasterben]

Thanks for the quick response… I'm gonna sleep on this a little.  This shirt and the 68 are both really calling out to me...

[seanocono]

The good news is they are both Extant, so you can take your time and make the right call.

I feel you on the 68, though. I am patiently awaiting a summer restock.
