      All of them are great fabrics and the shadow and double black fabrics come in two different weight options and the Kibata comes in an indigo and shadow version.  Shadow is their Indigo/Black fabric for those that don't know.

      I have the 17oz shadow selvedge with some electric blues showing through. It is an exciting fabric when it shows it's true colors.

        I've seen some fade pics of the shadow selvedge after a year or so and you're right…it is an exciting fabric.  Amazing fade potential.

          My favorite 3sixteen items are their denim and knits. Think I’ll eventually buy a white and indigo henley.

            Are you a chino guy?  Their chino's are great too.  Very nice selvedge fabrics and the cut is just perfect, at least for my body anyways.

              Not really a chino guy but if I were to buy some it would be from 3sixteen.

                Considering a little GoodArt pimping on one of my upcoming shirt purchases.  What are the standard cateye and western snap sizes?  Mostly concerned about the cateye sizing as I don't want the GA buttons to look huge compared to the standards and potentially not fit through the buttonhole.

                  I send Josh some of our Cats Eye Buttons so he had that as a reference when he designed and sized the GA Cats Eye Button.  Ditto the small snaps…

                  If you are talking about the heavy-duty snaps I can't help I am afraid as I am out of the country, but I am sure someone else will chime in...

                        Thanks, G.  It sounds like there shouldn't be a problem with buttons fitting in buttonholes regardless of the GA button selected.  That should be all the detail I need.

                        Now get back to fishing.

                          Hi guys,

                          I'm around +-23 inch in IH-Shirts.

                          Should i size down to L (P2P 23,6) in the N1 Deck Jacket for a decent trim fit?

                          Thanks in advance!

                            @trail and arrow I take an L in the N1 so I think you could just get away with an L too, but there would not be much room to layer

                              @trail and arrow - I have the same fit in shirts and wear XL in the N1 jackets, the L would be trimmer but a bit too snug for me with a UHF underneath.

                                  I have an XL and it is fine if I layer heavily under it (which I do in midwinter) if I was ever to cop another I’d go L.

                                    Couple of quick pix before I head out:

                                    Similar to Reuben, if I pick up another colour I would go L with a view to only wearing with 1x layer outfits.

                                      I'll go for an L then.

                                      Cheers

                                        Anyone ever done something sacrilegious like cutting the sleeves of their LS shirt to make it SS? I really want a SS hickory stripe shirt :o

                                          I’m sure I’ve seen it on here somewhere but can’t quite remember where. I know someone made a vest out of their IH-2526j once.

                                          I can’t see any practical issue other than the possibility that bodies on ss shirts may generally be cut differently to bodies on ls shirts? Having a taper put in while your at it is always an option anyway.
