IHSH-178 - 18oz Selvedge Denim CPO Shirt - Indigo Overdyed Black

@Giles:

Won't be restocked.  We have run out of the denim.  We are sampling a new version in 19oz LHT at the moment, we did try 18oz vintage but decided it was not man enough.  We have left the status of this shirt as "continuous production", so we can harvest "email me when back in stock" requests.

I have yet to see the new sample, so it will be at least 3 months before we see the new version in production I am afraid.

Dang, that's too bad!  But I am intrigued by this 19oz LHT!  Thanks for the heads up!

I know you haven't seen the sample yet so maybe you can't answer but this shirt had longer sleeves than most, do you think the new version will stick with the longer sleeves?

[Giles]

The pattern will be the same, what happens when it is made up into a shirt with the new denim, we have no idea.  But I will tweak to try and make as similar as poss to the IHSH-178

Roger that. Thanks!

i just picked this up on the used market and my lord is it terrific.  that and Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills is positively deserted.  Just look at the inside of Dior, Gucci, and Saint Laurent.

Great fit and I really dig your style!  And the 178 is such an amazing shirt!

I work up in Playa Vista, about 10 minutes northwest of LAX. Haven't been back in the office in about 3 weeks. The last drive home was eerily traffic-free.

I notice almost everyone cuffs the sleeves on these CPOs.
do they just run long in the sleeves?

They do a little. Firstly Haraki-san designs with bike riders in mind. A little length in the sleeves is good when your arms are stretched out. Secondly these can be worn layers as a jacket, over other shirts, sweaters etc. In that case the extra arm length is also useful.

I think it can cool the long arm cuff 

[Paul9221]

The sleeves on my large were way too long so I sized down to a medium.  It's a little tighter than I'd prefer in the chest but it allows me to wear them without my hands drowning in the sleeves.  Same with the 177.

I saw that the 177 is being replaced by a similar CPO using a 19oz LHT. Is it the plan to likewise replace the 178 with an overdyed version of this new 19oz LHT, or will it be restocked as is? TIA

It certainly won’t be restocked as is because the denim used on both the 177 and 178 is the same, and is out of production. This is why the new denim is being researched.

Both the 17oz and 18oz denim CPO’s have come in indigo and overdyed versions. I’m sure this will be the same.

[Giles]

We've run out of the 18oz denim that the IHSH-177 and 178 are made from.  So we are having to find a suitable new denim for both.  We tried the vintage 18oz, did not work, so we are now trying the 19oz LHT.

[jerkules]

Awesome, can’t wait to see them!

Very nice!! Can’t wait to see them.. also how about some in the IB 19oz

[Jett129]

I asked the exact same thing about the 19OZib. Have to wait and see how the lefty samples come out.

I'm yearning for a CPO @Giles How are the denim trials and in particular the 19oz LHT tests going?

Thanks @AdamJ , now you mention it, I do recall reading that elsewhere, apologies.

[Giles]

Oh and spoke to H yesterday, the 19oz Lefty is too finicky to make the 177/178 replacement.  We're bouncing alternative denim ideas backwards and forwards atm…..

[GC]

Great, Appreciate this question might be better asked elsewhere, but I am curious as to whether an OD denim could be considered. That combo if possible would tick a lot of boxes for me.
