Wabash

[Geo]

Is the 'wabash' painted and not a woven pattern?

I'm hoping to see a western w/ (preferably black) snap buttons one day…

[daveo]

I'd love buttons and work shirt styling…

[Katsushin]

^^I believe Flathead solved this debate by doing both a western and a work style in wabash…just sayin.

[Beatle]

usually painted

[fobsquad]

in terms of 'striped' shirts, IH already has 2 hickory and the herringbone (which i need to get).
i wouldn't mind seeing a polka dot wabash

[Max Power]

has anybody a picture of a real beaten up wabash shirt? I wonder if the painted stripes fade.

@Geo:

i believe most of the time it is painted on with dicharge ink,which is used for screenprinting fabrics.the difference between discharge ink and normal screenprinting colors is that it does not "rest" on top of the fabric but rather discolors the fabric.
if that is indeed the case the white spots would go a bit lighter with lots of washing.

Yeah, but the FH western has been extinct for quite sometime, and an IH take on this would provide a cut that is a lot more favourable imho…

[Katsushin]

Agreed.

[DrPat]

I would love to see a wabash similar to this with the same cut and material as the IHSH-07

[Max Power]

Polka dots…tasty, but at first let's hope that the wabash comes out. I'd buy one in a sec.

All I know is that I asked Haraki to come up with a next level Wabash.  He is working on it, from the point I ask him to do something like this and he agrees, I leave the rest up to him….

[commodorewheeler]

Sounds great, I am definitely interested in one of these!

[Giles]

Spoke to Haraki about the Wabash.  He is getting very excited and it is moving forward.  I learnt that a proper Wabash has the dots created by bleaching the indigo (not by painting the dots on), so guess what?  That's what we're doing…..................

[madmonday]

G$, i would expect nothing less.

have to say this shirt, the indigo forum tee, & the super black fade to grey are the most excting items coming down the pike for me.

[zhivago]

This is gonna be one bad ass shirt no doubt.

[Geo]

this is soul destroying . . . i want this too . . . along with nearly everything else in the pipeline

[Giles]

Pencilled in:  Work shirt (btw, Haraki won't do asymetrical pockets on a shirt, so forget the engineers pocket on the shirt) and Coverall, which may come in 2 versions blanket lined and un-lined, this may have asymetrical pockets as Haraki thinks they are more appropriate for a coverall than a shirt…...

can't wait!
