    @hideglue:

    I thought it would be as simple as folding back the ticker when sewn– or no gusset at all.  Perhaps I'll still pull the trigger and go ahead with the idea of just dyeing it black.

    I know what you mean. But there isn’t that level of manipulation of the original design.

    I know it seems like a dumb thing to do for a 350 dollar shirt, but a black sharpie will do the job very well.

        I will never be able to find it, but there was someone who painted the copper snaps on his shirt with black translucent nail polish or something, and it looked amazing. Looked even better when it started wearing off again. I don’t even remember what shirt it was. Maybe a 99?

                    I just ordered one of these in size large, and look forward to adding it to my small IH CPO collection.  I might take Giles' suggestion and try the black Sharpie snap treatment.

                    I have the 18 oz. black overdye version from about a year ago.  The black overdye CPO will be hard to top, but I look forward to this moleskin variant!

                      Anyone know how the sizing on this one compares to the selfedge variant?

                      ISO: IHSH-170 or IHSH-193 in size XXL

                        @tangfj they are not the same moleskin, the SE collab version has a softer hand. I've tried both on and would say they're very similar in terms of size.

                        The devil is in the detail..

                            My snap swap decision wasn't based on the selvedge ID,but for me,as much as I loved the brass snaps on the Olive 331,they didn't work for me on the black version. When they first made the Over dyed 178 the snaps ended up looking kind of silvery/pewtery which I would've loved on this shirt. Sometimes wish there was a different,other than brass,material,option for that iconic IH snap.

                            Hello, recently purchased the green and asked for black snaps to be put on. Did this decision work out well for you or did the marks not go away from the previous buttons that were removed? Thank you !

                              Worked out great,wore it a bunch and washed it once and there is absolutely no marks of any kind left over from the original snaps.

                                Great. Thank you! Looking forward to this one! You loving it? I’m wearing the self edge one as we speak. Very excited to see the difference in weight and fabric on this new version!

                                  Aesthetically I like the new one better as it has the Western yokes up front,but the fabric is different/has a different hand,and I would have to say I like the fabric of the original/Selfedge one better. The original reminded me of sueded cotton.

                                    It really is like a suede. I figured that was how the  Moleskin finish  got it’s name. Mmmmmm. Substantial heavier/denser would you say?

                                      There’s only a 2OZ difference in the fabric weights,and I’d be lying if I told you could feel/tell the difference. Don’t know if it’s my imagination but it feels like it’s less warm than I think I remember the other one feeling. I look forward to hearing your thoughts/observations as you’ll have them side by side.

                                        Just washed this sensational shirt the second time. One of my favorites in spring, worn it a lot . Definitely underrated if you ask me . The moleskin is awesome to wear, heavy but soft and not too warm. And even it’s still very dark, there’s some fades noticeable at high wear areas.

                                          looking good @Daniel-San
                                          I've got the olive but struggling to put it into rotation. Curious if you've seen any shrinkage on this from the washings?
