I thought it may be

Never seen anything like this before, very nice.

[JDelage]

Very cool fabric. Would love to see a work shirt. Good work either way!

[Niro]

Another lovely indigo shirt! Definite one for my list!

This is THE shirt I've been waiting for.

p/s: please make a brown & off-white versions of this shirt for next winter drop (if Haraki-san approves)

Wouldn't this ropy twill make an interesting jean? Serious texture and fading potential.

[Alex]

I think it would be far too soft for a jean, though perhaps not. The IH-555-SG has a similar texture though

[mclaincausey]

Fair enough: can't tell that from the images but a soft, sweatpant like fabric would indeed not a jean make.

[Giles]

I actually think it would fade too fast for a jean…...

I know this is a 100% Cotton, but what will the weight and breathability of this shirt will be like?

Reading through this thread, combined with the other info I have on this shirt, I suspect it is around midweight (8-10oz?) based on the use of lightweight snaps, and while I’m sure it’s warm (thick, coarse weave) it should breath well too. I seem to remember someone who’s handled it who couldn’t believe it wasn’t wool.

Time will tell though.

[Giles]

Yep, time will tell

[Dstauffer]

Can it be fall already!

@Alex:

@neph93, from memory it uses the lightweight snaps but Giles should be able to confirm as he is with is in Japan

@neph93 Not in the office any longer, got to kill that drudge    for dinner with GA HLYWD, GA China, SE, R&H & The .JP crew - oh the pain…..

Ping me tomorrow to remind me to check....

@Giles was this ever answered? what about weight?

[Giles]

Lightweight snaps.  I'm guessing 8-10oz….
