IHSH-236-BLK- Pigment Printed Western Shirt - Black

[Giles]

I think it will fade faster than either of the IHSH-33's…..

Looks like it has an amazingly high potential for killer fades.

Can you say how many XLs you'll have?  Reason I ask is that I can't be sure of being online at 4 on Thursday and may need to change plans.

Also, what's the likely shrinkage on these compared to a 33?  I guess the linen could change things.

[Giles]

No shrinkage - the crap has beeen shrunk out of them already…..

6 black, 4 navy....

Sounds good. Thanks.

Close-ups are looking nice. Didn't actually realise this was a blend of cotton and linen either.

Curious @Giles, why do you think it will fade faster? I don't know much about this dye process…

[Giles]

Because the dye is sort of painted onto the face, thus it does not really impregnate the yarns too much (just look at the reverse, there is hardly any bleed-through), so I think it will wear off pretty quickly….

Evidence, just look at it after only one (albeit a mighty harsh) wash....

[cj]

Ahhhhh, I see what you mean. I wonder what it'll look like with frequent washes…

Also, I'm liking the shape of the snaps!

Once again my gorilla arms are saving my wallet.  Seems like this was sized for a baby t-rex…

They came up a little small for sure. I’d be fine with my normal XL for a trimmer fit. However I am a t-Rex [emoji1]

Measurements would be perfect for me,but waiting on the Moleskin CPO. Now if that doesn’t work out.

Hah!  I tend to forget that most people don't have the ape hanger issue.

I really appreciate that IH designs their gear for riders and adds length to the sleeves.  The other Japanese workwear brands don't even come close to fitting me and my closet is almost all IH in terms of shirts.

1st world problems on my end…but I really liked this fabric.  I'll just keep beating on my Johnny Cash II until IH comes up with another cool black denim shirting option.

This is much more substantial than I expected, with an almost rubbery feel, presumably thanks to the linen.  It looks nicely knackered from the off and even my wife admitted she likes it.  Like all IH, it'll only get better with age.

I actually thought about a possible conversion to short sleeve as there wasn't any SS shirting this year…great look @wdw

[wdw]

Thanks guys.  I normally find IH sleeves longer than I'd like, but as I always wear them rolled up anyway, it's not a problem to me.  This shirt strikes me as being what I wanted my 33-blk to look like, but without having to invest years of effort.

The rubbery comment interests me.

I still can’t decide if it’ll be navy or black haha
