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

      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:

            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...  ::)

                        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

                              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.

                                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.

                                  The hot wash has led to some shrink, but not much. Certainly not as much as the IH wabash shrinks with the same treatment. The shirt fits ok, I could use it for layering over thick henleys in winter for example, but this material is so wonderful that I'm going to get my seamstress to take it in at the sides.

                                      It is glorious. The only IH shirt I’ve had tailored and it’s perfect. The material is unlike any other I’ve seen.

                                        I was wearing mine yesterday, and I agree completely.  It blows my mind that it went on clearance.

                                          Love this, but mine is far to big!
                                          Does it shrink??
                                          Seems that I have to do the extreme test, from XL to L…..
                                          Suggestions or trades?

                                          Definitely an under the radar classic.....!!! @neph93 ,  @Haddtoo 555
