I'm not crazy about the sashiko look, doesn't do anything for me.
A red 46 though… I like that. -

I remember suggesting a sashiko something or other awhile back because it sounded like a good idea at the time. But, I’m now of the opinion that sashiko works best when other companies like SDA, PBJ or Samurai are using it in their lines. It strikes me as something that is the polar opposite of the IH look

I agree. I wouldn't call it gimmicky, per se, but it's unnecessary. I could be wildly off base in trying to read his mind, but it has always seemed to me that Haraki designs things to be as simple as possible. The impressiveness of IH gear is in the quality of the materials and the attention to construction, finishing, and details. Shashiko, in its modern form, not its utilitarian roots, is just kinda flashy. I like it, don't get me wrong, it's just that it doesn't seem to fit here.

All of those fabric samples have me drooling.

@Giles What are those samples in your post Reply #9750? Is there a work shirt the cards with those samples? I guess yes!

Haraki has said he does not like sashiko to me in the past, but never say never.
Until then @organisys this maybe your size:

Thanks @Alex That's very nice, but I fear the p2p is a little small for me.

Yep, I was thinking some of the Aesthetics of Sashiko with the weight and heft of a heavy Duck.

I've been wearing my 178 a ton over the last few months. I love how the cpo is that in between shirt and jacket, as well as a nice alternative to a sweatshirt. I'd love to see a Cash CPO, something in the 12oz range that fades.

The now extinct IHSH-166 was a 12oz superblack CPO. It was made of the same denim as the Johnny Cash shirts though, so no fading.
You’d need something either made from the same denim as the IHSH-33-BLK; or a new double black, sulphur dyed denim, both with tonal stitching to get a fading version.

sashiko used to be utilised a lot in repair work and it represents the love in mending items so that it can be used for longer. a blanket for example.. but recently sashiko is a bit overdone at the moment. everyone seems to be doing it that it doesn't feel that special anymore..

I think a sashiko CPO would be real nice.
