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

[Hefner]

How feasible is it to shorten the sleeves an inch and a half without mucking up the shirt?  Thanks as always!

A skilled/specialist seamstress or tailor could do it. Plenty of opportunities to screw it up. But it is a shacket so I just flip them.

Flip them… no more to says...

Thanks!  Feels a little floppy and weird, but I do think it looks good.

I saw on the SS21 release date page that a IHSH-293 is coming. Is that the 178 replacement?

Yes

[Alex]

Yes

[Giles]

I'll join in.

Yes

For the love of cheese, can we just get a straightforward answer?!

For the love of CHEESE. Here you go.

Okay.  I’m not a patient person.

Managed to find an unworn 178 and struck a deal.  The shirt is a beast.  A glorious beast. Buttoned up with a T - good to go. Unbuttoned with a thick thermal over a T - also good to go.

And the overdyed buttons - good stuff.

How awesome. I know what I’m having for supper tonight.

My son and I loved these,when he was growing up. Legend has it that whenever a new adventure would come out,whatever cheese Wallace was into,like Welsleydale,would then become impossible to find in the UK.

The new version of this shirt will be here in under 2 weeks….
If you're interested, fill in a restock alert for the IHSH-178

Great news @Alex! Does this apply to the non-OD version too?

@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.

Super excited for the release of the new version of this shirt. Apologies if this is cheeky, but I came across this old post from @Giles saying the 18oz vintage wasn't 'man enough' for this shirt :o

Did anything change about this denim to make it more suitable, or was it just a case of any potential alternative denims turning out to be even less suitable?

I'm totally planning to buy this either way, just curious about the thinking/process that goes into the design.

[Giles]

It's a really good question.

We thought it was not "iron" enough when we got the sample.

Then we had @Alex and @AdamC wear the samples for a few weeks, and then we realised that it was amazing…....
