Now I know what I'm doing tomorrow :).

Hey @Alex is this fabric stretchy or rigid? Looks to be stretchy like an IHSH-64.
-
Thanks.
-
I still can't imagin how this fabric feels. It looks super dense, rigid and heavy.

This is what Giles said on the original post about this shirt. Hope it helps.
"Kersey is a kind of coarse woollen cloth that was an important component of the textile trade in Medieval England.
It derives its name from kersey yarn and ultimately from the village of Kersey, Suffolk, having presumably originated in that region. However, the cloth was made in many places. It was being woven as early as 1262 in Andover, Hampshire, where regulations prohibited the inclusion of Spanish wool in kerseys. [1] By 1475, the West Riding of Yorkshire including Calderdale was also a major producer, while Devon and Somerset were major producers and exporters until the manufacture later moved to serge making. Kersey was a lighter weight cloth than broadcloth. English kerseys were widely exported to central Europe[2] and other places: a surviving business letter[3] from the end of the 16th century recommends to trade kerseys for good wine on the Canary Islands.
Kersey yarns were spun in large gauges (thicknesses) from inferior carded wool, and made thick and sturdy cloth. Kersey was a warp-backed, twill-weave cloth woven on a four-treadle loom."

Alex, if this shirt does well do you think you will entertain another run of this material in a different color?
That sounds like an awesome idea. I call dibs on a brown version.

Me, too. On the last post, I think Giles said only 40 were made for outside of Japan. I have a feeling they'll go quickly.
