      Managed to get one. XLs were flying out. This is a must-have-IH shirt for those of us in warm and humid places!

      The journey is the objective.

            XL all gone. Crazy. Not happy. Went for the Western version, only to find it's also sold out

              Check Berkeley Supply for the western version.

                Actually looks like a few of the vendors still have stock but I'm not sure which ones ship internationally and what not.

                  @Wlemon:

                  @gaseousclay, thanks for the reply. As far as I can remember, most of mine have them. I know the IHSH-33 has it and so does the workshirt version of that. Maybe it's a stylistic choice? I noticed the 245 doesn't have it but the 246 does. I am sure I'm coming off really pedantic right now. I just love the IH Western and the run-off, and would hate to see that discontinued.

                  It’s common to have the chain stitch run off on work shirts but not so much on westerns. I suspect the fabric may have something to do with it but I’m not sure. You won’t see the run off on UHF’s but might on some lighter weight fabrics. My 129 , which is 10oz, has the run off, but I’ve seen other 10oz shirts without it. I like the chain stitch runoff but the lack there of wouldn’t keep me from buying a shirt if I really liked it

                  Yeah, I guess it is hit or miss. While I like love the run off as well, it wouldn't stop my either. I have a few workshirts but I like the westerns overall. I just have to staple some string to the shirt.  😃

                      Congrats. This is a pretty awesome shirt and you’ll be one of only a handful in the world to own it.

                        Shirt is awesome, fabric is awesome, unfortunately the XL fit on me is not as awesome. I copped the last Large so hopefully that will be a better fit but of not then this just might be one of those shirts that I'm im between sizes on. Either way…a L, XL, or both will be going back in stock soon.

                          Hate when that happens, @manufc10. That happened with me with the IHSH-177. Hope it works out for you. It's a lovely shirt and I don't think that IH has done anything like it before. Someone could please correct me if I am wrong because I'd hunt that shirt down, too.

                            @Stuart.T maybe the XL can end up being yours?

                                XL in came in! Sleeves are a little long but will be wearing it rolled up!

                                🙂

                                    Received my Large yesterday and the fit is much better.  Almost a tailored fit.  XL has already been sold to a fellow forum member.

                                    This is such a nice fabric.

                                      Congrats. Definitely an awesome fabric. Madras or some other lightweight shirt variant should be a staple for every Spring/Summer release  😎

                                        I'm digging on this shirt and, of course, missed it.  I lived in Madras when it was still Madras–-it has changed immeasurably in 40 plus years.  And yes, these are truly patterns from Tamil Nadu, deep south India.  The word "Madras" is a contracted mispronunciation of Madre de Dios and refers to the earliest Portugese trading post.  The city is today called "Chennai", which is the name of the original fishing village that was there long before the westerners turned up.

                                        The quality of this Iron Heart fabric would be, honestly, impossible to match in India, at least the India that I know.  There are beautiful silks, some nice (but not IH quality) cotton but there's just not the market for this level of goodness---at least that's how I see it.

                                        Wear on, mates.  This is a beautiful shit.  I'm sufficiently jealous to wax on with prolix history lessons---from your friendly neighborhood professor.
