IHSH-31 Herringbone Flannel

Hey ampersandwich, I think L should work with you. You will probably need to use a proxy service from Japan (e.g. Sutocorp). You can read up on them in here: http://www.superfuture.com/supertalk/showthread.php?t=162257 But be preapared to pay for bank fees/service fees/shipping fees/paypal fees and there is no return. If it were still available from Giles, I would definitely get it from him.
-
Yup yup, always go with Giles as your first choice - if not just for sizing help and the ability to return if absolutely needed. I've proxied not too long ago… made a mistake and was stuck with a wrong size shirt. Otherwise not too painful. If its your only option, go for it... and you'll def need a large. I'm around 18" shoulders and sometimes even an L seems a bit tight on me.
-
Thanks for the advice, guys! And yeah, if Giles had the Large, I'd absolutely get it from him. But it looks like my choices are either M or XXL
I e-mailed Sharp Service (http://www.sharpservice.jp/), which seems to get excellent reviews on SuFu. I'm hoping it all works out because it's getting cool in Chicago, and I think I need this flannel in my life. -
@Jii:
Just ordered the navy one.. I'm feeling a bit dizzy and really happy and excited at the same time. I really hope it fits well, had to go with the biggest possible size which feels a bit weird. But I guess I am a bit off the japanese sizing charts ;). Damn brazilian jiu jitsu and my former weightlifting habits (and good food) :).
And it's here! Fits like a glove. Couldn't be happier!
Will post pics later, hoping for some sunshine later this week. Thank you Iron Heart and Giles! -

Damn, that's a nice looking colourway!
-
Dammit! The IHSH-31 are my favorite shirts out of everything i've bought this year… and now here we are looking at yet another colourway. UGH. sigh I love you guys. haha
(On a side note, i think these things were originally a one off?? Does this mean there will be another small run of the two existing colors made as well?)
-
Damn not too much i hope
-
-
Great news. Haraki has managed to pull some strings and got some space in the factory. So we will do another run of these, in a new colourway, I chose the colour last night. Should be available mid Dec:
Beautiful colourway, the stripe that runs through the black reminds my of red line selvedge.
-
I'd cold washed them before and gotten zero. If you're borderline and don't want shrinkage, just cold wash and hang dry. I was trying to get mine a bit smaller.
Good to hear. This will most likely keep me from stinking like a wet dog in a month or two
-
torn between this new colorway and the -32
i would get both but i canttttttt -
That new colourway is lush!
-
I am giving my 31 a cold wash today to see if it shrinks up at all.
If it does, it will most likely be up for sale. If nameness is correct (I hope so), it won't be going anywhere.
New colorway does look nice. Will have to wait and see how it looks as a finished product!
