It was not the dye that was unstable on Johnny:

Oh yeah. Well I cherish mine. He's unstable, much like his namesake. And owner.

@MikeC:

Fucking A, I love this shirt. Traded with Nem for a L.


After seeing both IH wabash(s), I'm definitely partial to the 1st run. The brown retarding overdye is a really nice touch. It gives the fabric a vintage feel without being pre-distressed looking (ala RRL). Get some!!!

Stylin motherfekker,,,glad it got there and does the job for you

That IHSH 55 looks good on you MikeC. Your hair is wild like it.

Love this shirt.

loving the 55

Damn, how do I follow that :(. Oh well

It's obviously not that washed out in reality, nor am I. Can't recall how long I've had this now, but it's certainly one of my favourite shirts and gets a fair amount of wear. I like this a lot more than the newer darker Wabash, there's just something about it.

Good to see you MP! Looking good.

[Morose_Penguin]

Thanks, it's good to be back

[Snowy]

^Thanks. I just continue doing my thing for the most part :). It's a wonderful community to be a part of, look forward to seeing you about over the fall/winter up that way

Will this ever have another production run or is this fabric gone for good?

[MikeC]

Gone for good. The OG wabash fabric was replaced by the new wabash found in the IHSH-62. According to G's statement earlier this week, they are the same rope dyed warp and weft twill, but the OG fabric has a dirty brown retarding overdye to stop any indigo loss.  I think H figured out what was causing the indigo loss, therefore, no brown overdye. I personally like the OG fabric waaay more than the new wabash, but that's my opinion.

The 55 also comes up big, so you may need to size down. I did.

Agreed on the 55 fabric being cooler….has more "character" in it to me.

[tatmantall]

thanks mike, yeah I have the new wabash and it never gets worn i had the opportunity to get a large 55 a while back but negated in hopes of finding a medium hopefully one day… Fingers crossed that I do someday.

Exactly. And another reason I don't like the new one as much is the white stitching, it's just too much IMHO.
