IHSH-366-IND - 8oz Herringbone Hickory Stripe Work Shirt - Indigo
-
@Mizmazzle all this in spades (except warmth untested). I think you already know you need one!
@jerkules thanks – it’s pretty easy with something so good.
Could work well under your incoming/new
IH-526Lod? -
@Mizmazzle @ARNC great to see these out in the wild. Really, really like this but not sure I can justify another Hickory shirt when there's so many other pieces on my wish list...
-
Yea this shirt is a very easy wear. I don’t own any other hickory stripe, but this weight and fabric were the perfect placement in my wardrobe.
It’s supposed to be a fast fader, but I can’t even imagine what the fading will look like on a shirt like this?? Maybe the stripes will lighten up and turn a soft blue?
-
@Mizmazzle can't capture it too well on camera, plus it's very subtle, but yeah you're about right!
On my bag it's less of a uniform fade pattern, but you can see how the Hickory has evolved through rubbing against stiff shirts and denim jackets...
-
@ARNC @Mizmazzle the shirt looks great on you both. Did you go for your usual IH shirt size?
-
@IrishHeart thanks! I’m usually a large in work shirts, rarely an XL. I stuck with my regular size L for this one but asked the crew to pick me one that was below the published measurements at the opening. This worked out perfectly for me.
Although the measurements look a bit bigger than usual on this one, the fabric drapes nicely and I think it’s more forgiving than a stiffer/heavier fabric. I’d be cautious about sizing down unless you’re at the lower end of your usual size.
If you can make the sizing work you will not regret getting one of these!

@T4920 thanks man! That was super helpful. The fade will be cool cool to see in time. But honestly didn’t buy this one for the extreme fade potential. Just love the weight and fabric. Gonna be a great Autumn weight.
@IrishHeart yeah I agree with what @ARNC said. I went with my normal size large. I actually meant to try a size Medium while I was at Berkeley Supply. But I put the large, my normal size and it fit great. Kinda wish I tried the Medium just to see. But I measured the Large when I got home and I guess I got one slightly smaller than the posted large measurements all around so it worked out perfectly. Also, even if if shrinks a touch upon washing it will be even better.
-
@ARNC that’s really helpful, thank you.
-
@Mizmazzle the shirt looks the perfect size so I think you were right to go large. With the Thanksgiving and Christmas on the horizon it’s probably best not to go too fitted!
Thanks for your response.
