IHSH-380-IND - 12oz Dobby Cloth Work Shirt - Indigo

The shirt has arrived! It’s a true gem and definitely something else then the other shirts in my closet! Arms work but are a tad smaller. Tomorrow i’ll post some pics!

@Heavy_blue Congrats! I"m looking forward to the flood of new photos of this beauty. My arm width on mine was only 5.1'' when I ordered my medium, so I painfully cancelled my order. I was going to order the CPO version on Monday, but went with the 292-IND CPO. Ordered last night. I will have the weekend to ponder the 389-IND CPO.

@stichdown-shell nice choice!! Hope you’ll like the shirt mate!

More observations after a couple of days of wear.
The creases on the forearm are really interesting and one of a kind. You can see it in the pictures from @Jcaz6996 how they will form and fade, mine are already setting in, too.

The work shirt button issue is still present, though. You can see it at the upper button, that is nearly undone from just sitting on the couch.

@tody interesting. I’ve never had that issue with work shirt buttons. I like that the buttons on this shirt are thicker than the usual ones, which are sized perfectly for insertion between my fingernails and the nail bed!

How are you adjusting to the wider lower body?

I just had second dinner. And a dessert. Now beer.

So many awesome pics. Great to see you guys wearing this shirt. My one will arrive tomorrow already if I'm lucky.

Urgh y'all making it really difficult not to grab one of these.. I'd wash the shit outta this to make the black threads really stand out.. and that way it'd be a much lighter blue than my Kersey..

Some seriously mental gymnastics being done here to justify the purchase...

[ARNC]

@T4920 I guess that’s what happens here. That and starting to think of a bunch of other stuff that would look great with the planned purchases.

I think this could look awesome with frequent washing - I’m leaning that way myself (at least for the moment).

@ARNC looks fantastic. Can’t wait to have mine !

@tody same buttons pb here. I have a 2 months Hickory stripes 12 oz and I ha e some buttons which are failing. Something like 3. I haven’t worn it a lot. First time it happens to me with any shirt I bought. I don’t understand why they are not fixing it if it is a known issue. I am going to have to go see the tailor or do it myself (I can claim a voucher for the cost of doing it). I hope it won’t happen with this one again. It is really disappointing to me at this price point and considering the quality of the fabric.
Can I also ask you what is your standard pit to pit measurement ? I have ordered mine and k want to compare with yours (you went XXL if remember well ?) thank you.

[tody]

@Germinal I have an actual chest measurement of 116cm. Usually, I'm golden with a 50cm-60cm shoulder to P2P ratio. The XXL came a little under that, so I sized up to XXXL.

@tody thank you !!

@Heavy_blue beautiful and beautiful photos dear friend, I love the color and shades of the fabric in natural light

[Jcaz6996]

Great seeing everyone’s photos, it’s an amazing shirt literally gets better with every wear as the indigo begins to lighten up .
Keep them coming

First shots! I love the fit!

@Heavy_blue looking great. Really tough decision but I’m going to go with the cpo, although all these great pics are making it really difficult

Isn’t that why we’re here?

Such a beautiful shirt. I really hope they run this one again with normal work shirt arm sizing.
