IHSH-41 - MK III Mini Herringbone Check Westerm

[DrPat]

My feelings on this shirt….

Material
There are 4 different colors: white, black, navy, and the light blue/purple which has caused so much discussion.  The fabric is extremely hairy (almost as much as my RJB jeans) and contains lots of small imperfections where the threads protrude a bit from the weave.  These, combined with the herringbone, give the shirt a great structure.  No shrinking occurred from a 40deg soak.

Fit
My medium fits similar to a standard IH medium in the chest, shoulders, and back length, which is perfect for me.  I measured the sleeves to be almost 64cm, which is a bit longer than advertised and about 2 cm longer than most other IH flannel westerns.  I  prefer a short sleeve because I don't shirts touching my palms and this one just barely matches this criteria.  The front length is also approximately 2cm longer than other IH flannels.  I think I prefer the shorter length.

Details
This shirt has MOP buttons and a cotton twill lining in the cuffs and pocket flaps.  I hope both become standard on all IH shirts.  More force is needed to unsnap the MOP buttons compared to old style buttons.

nice write up

[rocket]

yep, thanks for the review

I'd agree with all of that.  It does seem overall longer.  I'll probably have the body shortened so it's more like the IHSH-37.

Another example of color.  It should be pretty accurate.

Ok, time to man up and get this bad boy before I regret it!  I presume the 2 smalls left are from the late may shipment?  Should I just pull the trigger now?

Has the eagle landed?

[Giles]

No, for some reason, still en route (actually in Mumbai, India as I type).  I'm thinking that we will be able to start shipping Tuesday…..Sorry guys.  G

[arcanum]

G, do you still have this ready stock in size medium ? i want to order it along with other shirts..

[Giles]

I dont know.  If it is showing as in stock, it will be either in stock or will be in stock Mon or Tues.  Sorry, not in the office and the stock levels on the website represent what is in UK and what will be next week…
