IHSH-168-WH - 7oz Selvedge Denim Western Shirt "The Anti Cash" - White

Looks fantastic @Norrin !
It's been too bloody hot here in LA to even wear the 7oz weight - hopefully in a few weeks it will cool down a bit.
Same with Phx. Still hitting well over 100 degrees and I just heard today they think the high might not be sub 100 until October!!! Fucking pissing me off, I've got IH gear that needs to be worn.
Bummer, dudes. My thermometer says 48 right now in chilly Ohio…

To the surprise of absolutely no one, XL is the only size out of stock.
What say you white shirt aficionados, is it worth it ordering the 168 from a reseller in Canada, getting fleeced silly on tax + duty… Or would an IHSH-62-WHT be a reasonable recourse given the circumstances? They are both white-white, right (minus the dots on the wabash), as opposed to the IHSH-202 which appears more natural white?

I can't speak to the whiteness of the IHSH-168 but the IHSH-62-WH is certainly white, but it isn't an optical white. Don't get me wrong, it isn't the off white of the 202 but nor is it a bright white like the IHSH-119. It's a beautiful shirt though and the one of the three white IH shirts I own, easily the one I use the most.
You probably know this but there's a considerable weight difference between the 168 and the 62-WH.

@Crit_Obs The 168 is definitely the whitest of the 3, the 202 being more cream.
I absolutely love my 168, the denim is beautifully soft.
I just missed out on it's 1st release & had to wait for a 2nd run, but it was definitely worth the wait.
So for me, I would go all out to acquire the 168.

Thanks a ton for your insights @neph93 and @Norrin , highly appreciated!
The weight-difference is certainly a consideration since I tend to gravitate towards heavier fabrics… But the 168 just looks like an iconic piece and I must congratulate Norrin for catching the one that got away once before.
I have never owned a wabash of any colour, though, so this could be the moment to rectify that. Hmm... -
I got this in anticipation of the 218 (I think that's the Johnny Cash shirts number), and I couldn't be happier. Why isn't this board popping off? Such as great shirt. I tried it on with a couple other Iron Heart classics. Glad I got the anti-Cash before the 218.

The Credit?
EDIT: Also, strong arguments for the shirt @Wlemon and love the Rick & Morty avatar. -
If @Giles wants to update the product, I offer up the name anti-Cash for free. It is my small offering to the Iron Heart Gods.

I feel as if I've made into Valhalla.

Hey Wilemon…speaking of Valhalla, when the forum hosts your Viking funeral, you know with the whole burning long boat and stuff, could you leave us your cool IH? No point burning up perfectly good selvedge.
-
@profdbrk Hmm. I was thinking about being buried with all of them. I know I invoked the Viking afterlife, but I do really like my IH gear.
