IHSH-168-WH - 7oz Selvedge Denim Western Shirt "The Anti Cash" - White
-
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.
-
Don't sleep on the Anti-Cash.
-
The last available one of these went to the outlet. It’s not there anymore.
-
I finally have an IH shirt I can wear in the summer again! Bonus: This fabric is crazy soft and comfy.
-
Looks good Chuck. Nice score!

@xtcclassic Looks awesome, I am very jealous. Gutted I didn't pull the trigger when we had my size in stock.
-
@Graham I almost missed out as well if you recall. I almost ordered it last month during the sale but I didn’t think the measurements were going to work so I ordered the 62 instead, but once this last one hit the outlet I decided to roll the dice and hope for the best. Glad I did.

Terrible news… I had forgotten there was a red paper ticket from a door prize giveaway (like a carnival ticket) in the right chest pocket and just washed the shirt... a nice red outline fully staining the inside of the pocket and clearly visible from the outside as well. Just sprayed some Oxi-clean on it but confidence is not good that this will ever come out. I’m afraid that if I fully bleach it it will just start yellowing.
Absolutely gutted since I love this shirt. Any advice from the IH brain trust here... @neph93 @Giles ? Or is this is write off? If so wondering if there is a way to salvage the turquoise snaps at least.
Thanks to @Manticore , we grabbed a quick shot of this before it heads out to UPS…
