IHSH-368-IND - 14oz Double Cloth Western Shirt - Indigo
-
Still pretty new to this stuff, what's the crack with a pre soak? Literally just soaking it in the tub before whacking it into the wash?
-
@alexpupin Nice one man.
-
@Supersonic
it prevents marbling and white lines.
just soak until completely wet, and then into the washing machine
-
@Daniel-San nice one man, ill bear this in mind when the time comes.
-
@AdamC/anyone else - how does this compare in terms of the material of the 295-IB? I love the 295 and wonder whether this compares/competes with it?
-
-
@Crispy-Heron I'd say yes. I'm on the fence for the work version, having put on this one @ Kentaurus last week. What's holing me off of the western version is the sawtooth chest pockets - not my flavour.
-
@tody - hmm. I like sawtooth but want a few more opinions on the material
-
@tody
didn’t like the saw tooth either, but I thought I had to give it a try . And I really like it on me
-
@Daniel-San so what is the rest of the shirt like?
-
I asked a similar question in either this or the other thread and was told it's more similar to what an unbrushed uhf might be, soft, and a little squishy. It sounded like it might have too much overlap for me with an indigo kersey (face differences aside) because it also seems to have many of the same characteristics as for warmth, same fabric weight, drape, soft, squishy, etc. Yet I still keep coming back to this double faced fabric...
-
-
To be clear, that's just the impression I got and could be wrong. I've not handled the double cloth. Would love to hear other thoughts just like you @Crispy-Heron

@Crispy-Heron
it’s something new, don’t think it’s really comparable to other shirts. It’s soft and super nice to wear . It’s definitely warm and I think it will fade awesome. As I wrote before, this really surprised me in a more than positive way. Didn’t expect it to be that nice.
If I had to describe it , I would say it’s a mix of the moleskin and the 18oz overdyed shirt with a little unbrushed UHF feeling
love it -
@Daniel-San - thanks buddy. You have me tempted. Would love to see (and feel) the fabric before deciding to pull the trigger ..
-
It’s amazing, unlike anything really, def a good buy. I love it, one of my favorites. Just be careful about snags.
-
-
@Andymac maybe it’s just me. I think my neck lanyard at work might be snagging it. I just pulled the loops thru to the inside. It’s a pretty loose weave though and I tend to snag loose weaves but I love em so I keep buying them. Just watch out for anything rough or spiky.

@WhiskeySandwich
