IHSH-250-IND - 5oz Selvedge Cotton Linen Chambray Short-Sleeved Work Shirt

[Giles]

It does say that it is indigo dyed warp in the product description on the website, should we make that clearer?

[neph93]

There’s the IND in the product code too…

[Wlemon]

That's me not paying attention to what I'm buying, @Giles, and says more about me than your product description imo. If you just listed that it was indigo dyed in the description, that's a little disingenuous because not both the warp and weft are indigo dyed, right?

[Giles]

Correct, the weft is usually (if not always) white in a chambray….

[neph93]

On another note, your predliction for quality clothing, notably heavy shirts and type III jackets, must pose problems in the LA climate. I admire your commitment!

[Wlemon]

When I read the warp was indigo dyed, I suppose it just didn't sink in. Can I blame it on being stuck in a house with two little girls under five for the past month? I'm going to blame it on them if that's alright with you all. Or I can blame it solely on Covid-19. Or both. You pick.

@neph93 when I'm teaching, I can get away with wearing IH any day, even in the summer. Since I'm inside, and the college always seems to keep the building cold, I like having something that's a little heavier. The issue is when I'm not teaching. If I'm at home, like I am now, wearing an IHSH-33 in the summer wouldn't be possible. (Well, it's possible but not practical.) The madras and this one are going to be great since my school is online only until at least August, maybe longer.

[Giles]

No blame attributed or excuses needed…..

A quick walk around the neighborhood in the new shirt.

Nice family pic @Wlemon . The 250 now looks pale next to your girls’ blue!

[Wlemon]

Thank you @motojobobo. It really does look pale. They're wearing these really vibrant dresses made of blue (French blue?) ripstop fabric.

You have a beautiful Family.  The IHSH-250 is a perfect short sleeve in my opinion.

UPDATE

There was a problem with stock levels on this shirt (sorry) now corrected - ALL SIZES XS THROUGH XXXXL ARE CURRENTLY IN STOCK

Loving this - perfect summer shirt

[Occupant]

So I bought this shirt in my usually dependable XXL and the chest measurements looked reasonable if a tad bit snug, but I find that it's pulling quite a bit in the chest now that I've tried it on. I like the way it drapes otherwise and I'm unsure if I should try for a size up or just return it. Thoughts?

[neph93]

I can see button pull there despite you standing in a neutral position. For me that is a deal-breaker. Given that and the fact that you could stand to have more length I’d say sizing up is the way to go. Beautiful shirt.

[setandsetting]

I would size up and give it a warm wash/machine dry.

Coming handy in the heat..
