IHSH-68-ind - 12oz Wabash Work Shirt - Indigo

[Aetas]

The ‘New’ buttons are amazing!

Hard to handle at the first moment, but feeling strongly and adorable!

I am so-so on the new buttons. They're much thinner than the previous version. They feel sharp and are a less comfortable to use. They also feel (subjectively) less hefty / luxurious…

@JDelage:

I can hear you @JDelage .
Thinnner… yes.
Sharp ... yes. Used a 500 sandpaper to ease the edges.
Less hefty... perhaps.

But I was looking at this workshirt for a long time, never had the opportunity to get the old one. Think it was the only chance to get some Aluminum buttons, that I always identified as something special.

The IHSH-266 is on its way and coming close.

[JDelage]

Oh, I'm in the same situation. This shirt is great; the buttons are just marginally less good (again, subjectively) than the previous version. We're talking details.

Hard to say but that look is either "give me scooby snacks", or "where is my wabby shirt, boss?".

So, please forgive my newbness re: this shirt, but is there a plan to keep the black and metal versions in continuous production? I see that this batch of metal-buttoned just came and went recently, and a fresh batch of black buttons in… so would this mean I shouldn't expect more of the metal too soon? I think I'd probably prefer metal but black looks very nice too.

TBH.  Not sure, we'll monitor how each sells and make a decision later….

Dunno, the shirt has a lot going on visually, so the black buttons do sorta tone it down a little bit. I like that. DECISIONS.

Agreed, the toning down is great. I used to own the OG metal button version and loved it, but I really do like the black buttons for a sleeker, cleaner look.

Someone with black buttons should post a picture….

I just received mine in the mail today. It's super nice! Do you soak this shirt before you start really wearing it?

You can but you don’t have to. It will shrink a little with lots of washing or very warm washing, so if you want to you can get that out of the way now through a hot soak.
