IHSH-141 - Overdyed 11.5oz Indigo Selvedge Denim Shirt/Jacket

[Sam]

I was wearing my 666-WH's that day and thought they'd be more of a distraction so i grabbed an archive pair we have. They're 666-XHS's with some nice fading. Wish they were mine because they comfy like PJ's. Maybe when i'm clear of my IH debt @Giles will sell me them???

The IHSH-141 is great though guys @Finn666 & @madmonday Can't wait to see what that new denim looks like as it fades through.

It's too bad the thread wasn't overdyed with the shirt like the jeans and the trucker are. Iiked having a more subtle contrast in the thread. None the less this seems to be one I will be trying soon

[Giles]

It was overdyed.  But polycotton does not take up the dye….

I noticed that the "contrast" of the thread appears to be more extreme in this overdyed IHSH-141 than it does in the photos of the product page of the overdyed IHSH-99. I like the look of more subtle contrasts as well.

Is the thread contrast more subtle in the IHSH-99?
Or possibly just different photo lighting?  …Or is the overdye color itself may a shade or two different between the 141 and 99?

Any chance of a comparison photo of the 141 and 99 sitting next to one another?

I've been waiting on picking up an IHSH-99 on the next restock. 
With the 141 being very similar I was wonder if it would get more seasonal wear due to it's lighter weight.

The 'contrast of the threads' is the icing on the cake … magnificent shirt!

I own a 99 and a 140. The 140/1 feels quite a bit lighter.

[Jordonf9]

I saw that you mention a new weave with this 141/140. Care to share? It almost looks like a 2x1 weave.

Guessing this shirt is pretty soft just like the 634S-B? I know, different weight, different cotton, different weave.

[Giles]

I just meant that it is a new fabric…..

[knuckles]

so, do you guys buy this oversized to wear over a shirt or do you go true to size?

[Giles]

Depends whether you want to wear as an overshirt or as a shirt…..

Hi @Sam
Is it allowed to ask again for a comparison photo of the 99 <~> 141?
You know, these wooden floor or sitting on a bike comparison pics ;).

[Sam]

Of course @Aetas

I'll get that sorted today

[Sam]

Actually, scratch that.

I can't do it today because we don't have a 99 here for me to photograph. @Winchy is going to bring me his wifes tomorrow to shoot but in the meantime there was a question about the stitching looking brighter on the 141 compared to the 99 and it is. It's not a trick of the light or a photography issue. I'll get the comparison pic to you guys ASAP though.

[organisys]

I've not seen a 141 in person, but the thread on my 99 looks a bit more copper in colour and darker in appearance.

[T.J.]

My 141 arrived today

[Sam]

Hey guys,

Giles found a 99 so i could do the comparison photos. 141 on top and the 99 on the bottom. The stitching is clearly more visible on the 141 and our best guess for this is because the poly/cotton mix for the stitching on the 99 was more cotton than poly. Synthetic materials don't take on the dye.

Hope that's satisfied some people.

Cheers,
Sam

Damn you to hell plastics!!!!

[madmonday]

141 or 140, that is the question?

Nice shots as is the norm @Sam

[Sam]

Cheers @madmonday

I must confess that although the first photo is by me the second shot is by @PattyCakez our new intern. So with some careful guidance he's getting better with the camera. Usually i'm a crap teacher so i'm very proud of him!
