IHSH-358-IND - 5oz Dobby Cloth Work Shirt - Indigo

[tody]

Finally got one in my size, all the way from Japan through eBay.
Really awesome summer fabric!

[Crease]

This bad boy got some frequent wear recently, such a cool shirt and so comfy!

[tody]

@Crease I certainly agree, that is a really good summer shirt!

[SKT]

I have the western version and loved the material so much I picked up the work shirt version on sale here in the states. Did anyone go through with having it converted into a SS? Looking at you @motojobobo
Perfect warm weather fabric

[tody]

@SKT That is some nice and subtle evo!

[SKT]

@tody thank you…isn’t it just great stuff?!

[tody]

@SKT It is, the dobby fabric was last year's equivalent of this year's sashiko - totally new and totally awesome.

[motojobobo]

@SKT I’m keeping an eye on the used 358 sales, if any, waiting for my chance at SS’ing one. Are considering it too?
Excellent to get your confirmation that it’d be a solid choice as a hot & humid weather fabric.

[SKT]

@motojobobo hope you find one…the fabric is awesome and very breathable. I’m toying with the idea of converting it to SS. I may talk to my local tailor and get his thoughts first. I’ll report if I end up doing it.

@tody don't you think we need more colors too? @Alex

@motojobobo I got mine here and they have some sizes left https://www.ironshopprovisions.com/products/5oz-dobby-cloth-western-shirt-indigo

[SKT]

@mclaincausey the western as a short sleeve would be so awesome

[mclaincausey]

Yeah it would honestly make more sense to me but I love it either way and do appreciate the sun protection.

[motojobobo]

Thanks for the headsup @mclaincausey . Had never considered a western as a SS option but fellows here manage to sprout doubt in one’s long-held convictions on sartorial No-Nos.
I’ll report back…

I was a year late to the party on this one but it’s become my go-to warm weather shirt. Love the lightweight fabric

[SKT]

@Kirk absolutely…hoping we get a re-run with more colors down the road

[Kirk]

@SKT did you convert yours to SS? I could definitely get down with this fabric being utilized as such.

[SKT]

@Kirk I have not. Been wearing the 357 variant and a lot of T-shirts since summer heat officially arrived. Still thinking about it and agree the fabric would be perfect for a SS cut.

I was able to get the last on from Rivet&Hide, Great shirt and fabric! Feels like Linnen in terms texture of breathability but drapes better.
