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.

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.

Playing around with camera today…

That brown is lovely.

I got myself the IH-55 wabash and am absolutely in love with it but I've not worn it even once. The reason being i'm staying in Singapore and the weather here is way too hot to be wearing them.

Not to mention I've put on considerable amount of weight and the size S wouldn't button up nicely for me.

Was wondering if anyone's interested.

It is a brilliant shirt , had many compliments on it . Glad I found one in XL last
Christmas on the buy & sell here .

Does anyone's 55 curl in the back on the hem?  Mine has been doing this lately and it's driving me nuts. I'm thinking about starching it and pressing it, but I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions or if it's just my shirt.
