IHSH-26 & IHSH-26-OD - Short Sleeved Chambrays

[Dchill]

Yes sir, lookin' good.

After seeing all the other goodies here, Lando decided that he did not "need" his Overdyed in XL.  So I have one available.  G

[Splattered]

I wanted to buy a few things during the sale but was trying to push some more sales through… which i did THIS MORNING Grrr. Oh well.

Looks good Dchill and Jestre. Put my order in for the OD version as well!

[Beatle]

That Lando…he crazy ****

My OD just arrived.  The contrast between the navy fabric and silver buttons and thread is what really makes this shirt great.  It fits me perfectly as well.  I'll try to get some pics up soon.

There are several creases from shipping and I was considering giving it a soak.  Has anybody done this yet?  If so, was there a noticeable color change?  Any bleeding reports?

Update:  After 10 minutes my slightly sweaty white t-shirt has a purple tint.  So yes, it will bleed.

@Beatle:

why don't you ?

something about it i just can't hang with. i'd much rather roll up my sleeves. hopefully G and haraki do an OD longsleeve(hint hint)…would instantly buy it.

If I recall correctly, there is one coming.  But it is a Self Edge exclusive.

[Giles]

Lefty.  In about 3 weeks there will be two new overdyed Chambrays winging their way over from Japan.  A work shirt and a western, both LS and both in the 10oz chambray (think IHSH-21) but overdyed…G

Omega.  You are thinking of the 12oz denim western.  Overdyed exclusive to Self Edge, Indigo available from me and selected other retailers.  G

Very much looking forward to the the LS OD!  Too bad Western shirts aren't really to my taste also. shrug

[Giles]

TWE - but we have a 12oz selvedge indigo denim workshirt hitting soon too….....G

[Dchill]

I can't wait….....

I wore my IHSH-26 today.  I'm happy to report that the total amount of bleeding for the entire day was less than the first 10 minutes of wear yesterday.  So it seems that a majority of the dye rubs of at first contact.

A few comments:
1.  The weight is significantly lighter than the mechanics shirt.  Nice for days over 30deg like today.
2.  Great contrast between the shirt and the silver threads and buttons
3.  Most seams are triple chain stitched.  Yellow on the inside and silver on the outside.
4.  Yellow triple chain stitch runoff with a bar tack stitch to prevent unraveling
5.  Fits like a normal IH medium

Question:  Is the overdye done before of after the shirt is sewn together?  The screen printing on the inside of the pocket looks like it was dyed but the stitching has retained a light color.
