dumb question, but the description notes "bio-washed"; how is that different than normal?
Legacy typo. should say one-washed. will be fixed....

You DO NOT want to know.

Thanks, @AdamJ!
Another question, it looks like Giles estimated this around 6.5oz. This has also been noted to be a stretchy'ish and breathable or airy feeling shirt when worn as an outer layer with or without a tee under. Knowing that the 5oz Dobby Cloth is new this season, any thoughts on how these would compare for wearing in warmer weather and breathability?
Also, have either the buttons or button holes been updated for this run? Thought a couple made comments about buttons popping out on occasion.
Trying to decide on either this or the 5oz western dobby for a lighterweight summer shirt and only have room for 1 since they're both indigo.

My XXXL just showed up from Snake Oil Provisions and this thing is amazing! Stoked to finally get sizing right on IH Shirts and love the oddball texture on top of being super comfortable.

Beautiful shirt - just taken delivery after several years of prevarication!

It's really weird. I know the thermals are different fabric but the few I have are totally bomber and I treat them terribly. I wouldn't have even noticed until my wife said something when I took off the 189. I'll try to see if the thread makes itself obvious on the inside to pull through but hopefully one of the crew can comment too.
Overall this fabric is similar to one of my favorite travel shirts ever made by Patagonia that I've almost worn through now and it's never done anything like this.

Fixed it. Thanks for the tip @Matt. The waffle grid appears to be constructed by individual pairs yarns that run up and down and side to side. Something must have snagged one of them. To fix, gently use a needle to tease that yarn on either side of the snag to average it out. In the worst case, this took about 8-10 waffle grids on either side. Not sure I would be able to tell now where it was.
Having said all this, it does seem this fabric has what is e call a fragile face and would recommend caution if wearing a pack or anything with straps. I say this because before heading out for the day and donning the 189 I slung my work bag across my shoulder to move it. Must have caught some webbing or something.
