IHSH-397-IND - 21oz Sashiko Work Shirt - Indigo

[Tago Mago]

Gonna have to check this one out in person, too

[jdwaid]

Hell yes

[Davids_denim]

This is gonna be the one for sure.

This is the best of the collection. Glad I got the 389 instead of the 380. This way I can justify this one as I wanted a sashiko work shirt as well. 21oz is kind of mind blowing for a sashiko work shirt. This is gonna be like a judo gi. Can't wait for this one.

Please keep the red embroidered w on this.

Is it wrong to feel mad that I’m just getting started on my 389 and now I gotta try and flip it to be able to afford one of these? Dammit y’all are gonna be the death of me

[clutchdealer]

I absolutely love my 389 I could never part with it. And now this 21oz monster is my 1st buy from FW. It’s going to sell like Taylor Swift merch!!!

[steelworker]

Im not really crazy about sashiko, but 21 ?in a workshirt? damn

[popvulture]

@WhiskeySandwich same. Dang.

[pechelman]

How does this sample feel compared to the current sashiko fabric?

[AdamJ]

@pechelman this version certainly has a lot more heft and is more robust

[Mizmazzle]

@AdamJ I’m wondering how easy it is to button up? Any insight there would be much appreciated!!

[AdamJ]

@Mizmazzle Depends how often you're training thumbs in the gym

[AdamJ]

@Mizmazzle jokes aside, it buttons up like any other IH shirt I've tried

[Mizmazzle]

@AdamJ have yall installed a thumb press there at the stubborn crew in house gym??

@AdamJ In the first photo of this it looks like it has a really deep pocket compared to a normal IH work shirt (comparing to my 307 serge), like 1/2" more depth. Am I seeing this right and if so, is it intentional?

[pechelman]

@AdamJ thanks. More I was wondering handfeel as I recalled the current version feeling a bit coarse and slightly airy. This looks much more tightly woven, maybe smoother handfeel? But is it softer? Guessing less breathable too?

[AdamJ]

@pechelman Give me a couple and I'll do a side by side comparison

[AdamJ]

The IHSH-397 is more coarse to touch, heavier and more sturdy than the IHSH-380. I have the latter and have been wearing it in the warm-ish conditions lately and it's been fine. The weave on this one feels tighter yes so I would think it's definitely more suited to the cold seasons. Won't be your next summer vacation shirt

[pechelman]

Thanks so much @AdamJ !
The side-by-side is especially nice of you.
