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

[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....

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

I just got this shirt,and the only reason I didn't initially pick one up back in Oct. is because of the linen/cotton blend. Don't ask me why,but I thought that linen equaled light weight. As wdw said,nothing could be further from the truth,as it's quite substantial. I'm very pleasantly surprised. I'll get some pics up ASAP.

Love that great tone @Jett129. That’s a “one that got away” shirt in the future. I also admire that you wear your gear bigger than anyone on this forum and still make things look great.

I’ll enjoy your updates.

I ended up selling off the shirts that were smaller because they just didn’t look good on me.

I don’t own any linen shirts but I’ve been eyeballing the 248. Not sure how the linen blends compare to the madras shirts but I know I need more lightweight shirts in my closet

If you didn’t tell me there was linen in this shirt I never would have guessed it. Like others have said it’s much more substantial than you’d expect.
