    @Aetas the woven pinstripe is one of my favorites and one of the few westerns I have
    It's so subtle as to be unnoticeable and  my wife, an accomplished sewer herself, remarked on the cloth and the build quality I remember thinking I've never seen material like this, who does this kind of work?

    Those are my principles, and if you don't like them…
    Well, I have others.

                This Wabash 12oz is still a mystery…
                Love this fabric a lot!

                  One thing that I am not sure I have articulated well enough, is that our Wabash is like no one else's.  It was me who asked Haraki to make a Wabash (probably a good 12 years ago), when I did so, I said let's make the most amazing Wabash in the world.  So Haraki did.

                  The weft and the warp are both individually rope dyed and then woven into the twill fabric.  No one else (that we know of anyway) does that, they typically dye the fabric after weaving.  It costs a lot more to make it the way we do, but the end result is an immeasurably better fabric (in our opinion), and something Haraki is immeasurably proud of….

                          Wow! I didn't realize that. That's so cool. And I couldn't agree more about the result of the extra effort.

                          That shirt is clearly aging immeasurably @Oaktavia! Just wonderful.

                              The Flat Head's Wabash is a denim with a dyed warp (guessing rope-dyed), so I guess it's an exception to the rule too.

                              I think Wabash was traditionally either dotted with wax and garment dyed, or garment dyed and then discharge dyed. The IH approach of instead rope dying warp and weft and then discharge dying it is indeed next level and I've expressed admiration for this reinterpretation of the classic technique elsewhere. I haven't seen it elsewhere either.

                              @Giles was that the OG version of the Wabash you initially requested from Haraki? I like the current version but recall a version that had some sort of overdye or treatment that is no longer applied.

                              I think I have 3 items in the current version. It's amazing.

                              Think it, be it.

                                The old version was dyed ad woven in the same way, but Haraki was not happy with the colour of the dots, so he overdyed it with a light brown wash - I still have the shorts I made from a pair, will post pics later today.
