IHSH-165 - Indigo Herringbone Single Pocket Work Shirt - Contrast Stitching

[neph93]

I have a vest in this fabric. It's beautiful. I'd say slightly heavier than wabash (maybe) and certainly much softer. It probably breathes better too.

Yeah, this.

@neph93 what vest is that? Any pics? Fades?

[neph93]

At the moment it's a one of a kind sample. Basically an IHV-02 made of this fabric. I don't know if it will ever get made. I'll get some pics up later.

It's a vest (and I own a few) so it hasn't seen hard action but these pics are just to give you an idea of the fabric and the way it fades:

Herringboner indeed

Monday! Damn. Good to see you around here. Hope you're well. How's Brooklyn?

[madmonday]

all is well on this side. Thanks for asking.

hope you & your brood are good & enjoying the summer . . . Is it summer on your side of the world?

Oh & Congrats on the retaining wall, it looks great.

That vest really is incredible, glad you scored it as I don't wear any of my vests anymore 

Would of possible been wasted on me

It's what passes for summer up here. Couple of 70F days here and there and there's not a prettier place on Earth when it's like that and the sky is blue. But a lot of 60F days with grey skies and rain too.

The brood are a constant source of joy and stress in equal measure, but you know.

The vest is one of the best things I own. In fact I may of bought this shirt the minute it went on sale, based solely on the vest fabric… because lord knows I don't need another indigo shirt...  ::)

Rub it in, why don't you…

[Jordonf9]

Beautiful. Glad I snagged one of the last

Me too. I wish the vest was available

[neph93]

I asked G about it a while ago, I think it's on hold….

Hows this shirt pairing up with Denim jeans (dark/faded)?
Thinking of picking up one but not sure how it'll look.

It looks good. The herringbone has a different look and hand to denim and the indigo colour is not the same as you typically get on jeans so it works well.

Got mine a few days ago. Beautiful shirt but a little big. Despite it being once washed I'm trying something a little risky and nuking it on a very hot wash with very low spin. We'll see how it goes…  :o

[Broark]

No experience with this shirt in particular, but if the herringbone fabric is anything like the olive herringbone workshirt it should shrink up a little bit in the wash.

[neph93]

I think it'll shrink a bit on such a hot wash. My concern though, given the indigo dying and the ease with which these fade, was streaks/crease lines. But I've had so much success with shrinking IH wabash a tried and teasted method (a thorough soaking with  the shower head, followed by a 95C machine wash and 400rpm spin), that I took the risk. I can't say for sure that is has shrunk yet as it's still drying but I've avoided any unsightly marks and it "looks" a little smaller.
