      Yeah I get what you're saying.  From what I understand RRL makes some of the best fitting shawl cardigans around.  The possibilities are endless as far as fabric design as well.  Smooth looking indeed.

        I mean a shirt and I think the collar type is called a band collar. I tried finding the cheesiest photo I could find… but I am thinking of the one with buttons that go halfway down.

        Popover with banded collar!

        Think it, be it.

          Shirt sounds more like Mr. Freedom and less like Iron Heart.

            Day 2 in my IHM-27-OLV, and I can't help thinking that I would LOVE a BDU pant made from this lightweight sateen. I know there were the HEAVY sateen cargo pants (IH-718), but a lighter weight, more relaxed fit BDU-style pant would really rock!

              This is true. It’s more of the authentic “old west” vintage thing that you see in Christophe’s designs.

                Those popovers and that style collar aren't my style.  Although it could be argued that IH does venture into the "old west" vintage realm with wabash pants and western shirts to name a few examples.

                  @Giles has stated a few times over the years that he's interested in the idea of a denim pullover shirt, it just hasn't come to fruition. But, either way I don't think it would have the Catholic priest clerical collar, lol

                    @manufc10 you're right, there's no doubt that American workwear is a big part of IH and wabash is certainly from that time period. I think the difference is what they do with it.

                    Compare IH westerns to MF westerns for example. MF cuts are more flamboyant and stylised. The IH style and cut is much less vintage and retro.

                    The way IH use wabash is on designs that are more rooted in 20th century designs (painters pants, work pants, work shirts etc).

                      SDA has a pop-over band collar denim shirt this year, which they made for the 40th anniversary.

                        How about the IHTB-06 in Black x Indigo (not overdyed, black thread and indigo thread)?

                        Could also be Indigo x Blue…

                          I still think an IH take on a button down collar Oxford cloth shirt would be awesome. Nice beefy buttons, maybe an oxfird/chambray hybrid type fabric I've seen around more lately. Something you could potentially wear to the office but also beat to shit.

                            Same. I coulda swore 3sixteen or some other US denim brand once put out these types of shirts and they quickly wound up in the following seasons sales bin. I just can't picture IH doing this type of thing

                              I thought the exact same thing but I was thinking it was Taylor Stitch for some reason.  Could have been 3sixteen….but somebody did them.

                                Agreed, which is why other than the exception of one or two other brands IH westerns are the only westerns I will wear.

                                Being born and raised in the southwestern US I never thought I would wear a Western shirt.  I guess it's just because you are exposed to them from day one as you have actual real life cowboys/ranchers/farmers out here that wear them so it was never associated with a more urban/streetwear/workwear style.  So if someone wore one who wasn't a cowboy, rancher, or farmer then it just came across as very costume like.

                                To your point though these are more flamboyant and stylised "traditional" type western shirts I'm referring to and the way IH blends them into their style (specifically with the UHF's) it works and can definitely be pulled off with confidence in a more streetwear or workwear type style.  It's also more common today to see others wear a western when I'm out and about in an urban environment and it's not uncommon to see skate brands or other more streetwear associated brands release western styled shirts.

                                  As a Texas resident, this is exactly why I'm not generally willing to wear a western shirt.  It's not helped by the fact that I often wear cowboy boots, so I'm borderline costume as it is.

                                  The exception (there's always an exception, right?) is the IHSH-62-BLK.  I love the Wabash in black, and I think this may be my favorite IH shirt.

                                      I'd say IH westerns aren't Old West, they're more like "Outlaw Country" and recall the styles of the 1970s more than the 1870s.

                                      Hickory stripe and wabash (and for that matter, denim itself, chambray, etc) are all vintage textiles, but to echo what was said upthread, what Haraki-san does with those textiles doesn't recall the Old West or turn of the century workwear, at least not to me. I could be wrong, but I don't envision cowboys wearing snap shirts. I see them wearing cotton long-sleeved shirts, often with bloused sleeves, bibs, banded collars, etc–indeed, Mister Freedom style stuff. I'm sure a cowboy in Montana would have loved a UHF snap shirt, but I don't believe anything like that would have been available.

                                      In my view, Iron Heart recalls items from the 1950s-1970s most of all, using textiles and patterns that often originate well before those eras.

                                      The one exception to all that is the vests. They look much older to my eye. And then there are occasional one-off exceptions like chore coats.

                                      $0.02

                                      Think it, be it.

                                          Also, with the popularity of the cord truckers on this last release, is the any chance for cord pants again?
