IHSH-366-IND - 8oz Herringbone Hickory Stripe Work Shirt - Indigo

@ARNC So nice man, a pleasure! How lovely is that fabric!!

[ARNC]

@SKT thanks! The cloth is amazing in hand - I don’t think anyone will be able to resist this once they’ve copped a feel!

[ARNC]

@Graham the pleasure will be mine for a long time – I expect this will see a lot of use.

@ARNC oh boy!!! This looks topsies!!! I imagine the fabric to be dense yet pliable. Nice texture and smooth drape. Heavy yet somehow light and cool still….that’s my imaginary read on this fabric.

Lovely looking fabric, you wear it well @ARNC

[ARNC]

@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?

Had to put my hands on this fabric. So, dropped in to see Eli at Berkeley Supply and…

@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...

[ARNC]

@T4920 it's so good and if anyone can justify another hickory shirt, you can!

Mine will get it's first proper wear today - I'm sure there'll be some pics a bit later once I've got dressed.

366 plus anni = perfect @ARNC

[ARNC]

@endo thanks! They work so well together, although I think the 366 will look great with pretty much everything!

[Mizmazzle]

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?

[T4920]

@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?

[ARNC]

@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!

[Mizmazzle]

@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.

[IrishHeart]

@ARNC that’s really helpful, thank you.

[IrishHeart]

@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.

Not the best photo, but first outing in the new 366. The fabric has already softened considerably. Lovin it!!
