….

What is this lovely thing that popped up on my IG feed and when can I buy it?

according to Giles in random announcements it is slightly lighter than the standard 7.5oz loopwheeled materials, and will be available in S-L, and Xl & XXL with side seems.  The collar looked constructed differently than what is on my IHPT-01 and IHFT-2012, which is what I am most excited for and I love some melange (is that the right term???) style heathered tees.

Missed that post, but these look lovely. Melange is the word.

possibility of a custom sized shirt? biggerer.

[Appfaff]

I doubt the side seems are meant for alteration, but simply to keep with the proportions in sync with the smaller sizes, that way a 24" chest on an XXL lopped wheeled tee doesn't have a 48" opening at the bottom. Loopedwheeled stuff is heard to do, I'm guessing that's why you see more loopwheeled sweat shirts than Tshirts - on sweats you can put a ribbed hem along the bottom and pull in the fabric, where as a tshirt is much more difficult.

Giles explains the loopwheeling process here

If you pick up the video at around 3:20, there's an explanation of sizing with loopwheel shirts and why they aren't bigger.  Though putting in a side seam allows them to be made wider, it does have constructional drawbacks.

More general info about loopwheeling can be found here.

Thanks for the info Chris!

Seeing as we are on the topic on t-shirts. Does anyone have recombinations for light weight T's. Off to the Caribbean in a few weeks, somehow I think my heavy weight 3sixteen along with IH T's aren't going to be doing me many favours in the heat.

I just got some Lady White Co. Shipped to me today - I'm in the same boat - sold off my MFSC tees cause they were too snug and opted for the LWC as the more affordable approach.  I got both the 2-pack blue and black regular and a white Clark pocket tee - I'll let you know how they are!

I don't find the 3Sixteen tees too heavy for warm weather.
Lady White Co tees are good for warm weather, same with the Mister Freedom Stanley tees.
But all that being said I still wear my Flat Head THC and Iron Heart loopwheeled tees in the Texas summer…

I wear my 7.5oz in the tropics, no issues…...

[Appfaff]

And they have good range of motion I see!!

I love that grey heather melange tee H-San posted! I need some grey heathered tees in my collection!

@Giles.

Will Self Edge be taking on any of the 14oz denim for their exclusive cuts? (I'm thinking the 633N 17oz cut specifically).

Cheers.

[Giles]

You need to ask them.

My IHSH-118 has very pretty white stitching. The shirt is full of indigo that pisses out of it and marks every white/light surface it comes into contact with. But not the stitching, that stays perfectly white. What is this wizadry?
