IHSH-234-CAM - Kersey Western Shirt - Camel

[Jbailla2]

Can anyone explain the difference between this and the serge fabric that will be releasing in the near future?

I've got my eye on one of them… Wondering if the fabric is a deciding factor.

[Giles]

Kersey and Serge are different weaves, Kersey having a much more pronounced twill-line and this Kersey is heavier than the Serge of the IHSH-235's.

The IH-234 is reactive dyed, so will not fade, the IHSH-235 is sulphur dyed, so will fade (rather quickly, I suspect)…..

@Jbailla2 I'd say that this is more like a corduroy. It is rather heavy, though. I have the indigo and it has a similar feel to a UHF IMO. It's not as heavy, of course, but in that same range. I don't own any of the other fabric, but I do know that the shorts from last season were made of it. Maybe they are the same? If so, someone with the shorts could tell you.

@Giles do you have both in Gosport now? Maybe one of the Crew could take a side by side picture of the fabric for him/us. Or I can do it when I get both.

Thank you, @Steve!

[Giles]

Actually, we do not have the IHSH-235's here.  They will arrive later this week, Steve use a photo of the sample shirt for the comparison pic above….

[Jbailla2]

A picture is worth a thousand words. Definitely see the difference. Thank you.

DAMN these are beautiful shirts… Both 234s and the upcoming 235s as well...

I just noticed, but did the price change on this? I thought it was listed at 290$. Not that big of deal, but just curious.

[Giles]

Yes, $290 was a mistake….

Hard to decide whether I like this or the IHSH-235 more. Good stuff

That's what I thought. It seemed low at the time.

Oh I was fine with it 

[Wlemon]

How about those who saw 290$ can pay 290$? 

[Eisenherz]

Yes I saw it too

[BloodnThunder]

So close!  Can't wait for this one.

[neph93]

Maybe the mistake was that it should have said $390 [emoji15]

You're the "the glass is half full" kind of guy, I see

[Wlemon]

You pay what you see!

By the way, have the measurements gone up?
