IHSH-119 - 7oz Selvedge Chambray Work Shirt

@Aetas:

Is the indigo/grey colourway a rope dyed indigo and will it fade?

It is indigo but not rope dyed.  So it will fade, but not like a rope dyed yarn.

Is this fabric similar in weight and feel to that of the IHSH-58?

IHSH-119 - 7oz Selvedge Chambray Work Shirt indigo/grey with blue chambray IHSH-13 for comparison

Great comparison!

Smooth and simple shirts - I like this chambrays!

Shirts look great and I have both the 118 and 119 coming, but does anyone else think the collars look a bit too big?  Probably an easy fix by a tailor though I would assume.

BTW, these will be my first two IH work shirts so maybe the larger collar is part of the design for the work shirt?

[Peter]

^Agree, I generally think the collars on the work shirts look big. At least in my size (small).

Received my shipment of this shirt and I have to say I am very happy with this purchase.  I am 6 feet, 165 lbs, and have a 41" inch chest and I went with an XL and its a great fit.  A tiny bit snug, but by no means unwearable, when worn with a T shirt underneath and damn near perfect when worn without an undershirt.  The color is great….unique color for a Chambray but looks great, and of course the construction is top notch in typical IH fashion.  Overall it's a great, lighter weight work shirt that I highly recommend.

Oh and I forgot to mention that the collar is not oversized like I thought it might be.  Collar size is just fine IMO.

Kind of surprised their isn't more action on this thread.  This is a great shirt….very cool color.

[Aetas]

Tell us the Story about this fabric somtimes @Giles …...

[Giles]

What do you want to know?

[Aetas]

Somewhere you mentioned, H has found some deadstock fabric.
This is such an off beat weave, perhaps there is a unique story.

Haraki has been looking for really great fabrics made by tiny little mills.  One or 2 people and a couple of looms, often in a shed/building attached to the house but always somewhere on the property.  These are known as House Factory's.  The fruits of these efforts thus far, has been the fabric for IH-711, IH-712, IHSH-119, IHSH-129 and IHSH-134.  I don't know much else, but will do visiting as many of these place when I go to Japan in May.  I can't go in October of this year as we have to do a few days in Thailand for the Denim Carnival….
