IHSH-75 - 12oz Indigo Selvedge Denim Work Shirt
-
We all (inc Haraki) understand how important it is to have some 12 1nd 14oz denim workshirts (I have about 6 iterations I want to do). H is looking for a new workshop that will make them to the quality we expect but with buttonholes that don't fail. That takes time, unfortunately…

Thanks for the reply @Giles. I hope you didn't take my question as a criticism, I wasn't implying that something was missing from the products range by any means, was just curious. I have a 75, that fortunately I've had no problems with and it's a beautiful shirt. Pulled it out to wear the other day and made me wonder if it was to ever exist again. Good to hear that's a possibility though!

Lots of wear and washes. Purchased October 2016.

We have solved the buttonhole issues. Last time I was in Kojima, I went out with Mr Heavy Nell (the shirt maker) and Mr Heavy Ounce (Our main heavyweight jean maker). I bought the topic up at dinner (Because I'm western and rude) and they started to talk to each other and compare notes about how to solve it. H turned to me, and said, this never happens, they are usually competitors….
Anyway, we have initiated runs of:
12oz Indigo, contrast stitching
12oz Indigo, tonal stitching
12oz Indigo overdyed
12oz Superblack - Murdered Out - Johnny Cash Works Again -
A) 12oz Indigo, contrast stitching
12oz Indigo, tonal stitching
C) 12oz Indigo overdyed
D) 12oz Superblack - Murdered Out - Johnny Cash Works AgainThis is hurting my brain… can’t work out which one to buy.
I have it narrowed down to C or D…reducing brain discomfort to a mere twitch.

Music to my ears. The 75 is my favorite shirt. I’ve been thinking about another denim workshirt, and dreaming about a super black workshirt.

I have a 33 in contrast indigo and the 178 which is OD. I could double up easily, but Superblack may be need to be first. Tonal isn’t really my thing. But that can change [emoji3]
Tonal stitching is bad ass after the denim fades! It can be a little much when it’s new tho…
Edit: I meant contrast not tonal [emoji851]

Tonal is my choice.

When will be the next restock of this one? I might add this to my collection!

The tale of the Iron Heart denim workshirt is a sad one that may yet have a happy ending.
There was a recurring issue with buttonholes not holding buttons that was discussed and hopefully solved a few months ago. Up until then production of these shirts had been halted.
The last I heard, plans had been made to produce denim work shirts in the same range of fabrics as the IHSH-33’s. I suspect that we will see them in the course of this autumn, possibly (probably), with a new lot number.
