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

[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

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

That’s a beauty of a shirt great choice for a fade comp ……… fade potential

@jordanscollected I thought the same...

This one is insane. Cannot wait.

This fabric looks awesome. Can't help but imagine some other pieces made from it.

... like a CPO

... or a work vest

This as a CPO would be the bees knees

[BD81]

Pockets on the work shirt would also do

[clutchdealer]

I doubt they would make this into a CPO at anytime since they already made the 389 CPO which falls in between the other 2. Not saying it would be nice to have the 21oz in a CPO version, but I believe they are trying to slim down on a bunch of the same shirts in different cuts.

@clutchdealer Temporarily yes, in order to take some of the pressure off of the production factories. They’ve been running at or above capacity for quite some time.

As things get back to normal, we may see the return of some of those items as well as new ones.

[bluemantra]

When do the fall/winter collections usually start to be released?

[goosehd]

@bluemantra I’ve seen everything from late August to late September for the start of the items to arrive.

[Giles]

As soon as Alex has estimates from Japan he will publish. And as per usual, every estimate will likely be incorrect....

[louisbosco]

would this ever be considered in a western?

[AdamJ]

@louisbosco never say never but not on the cards at the moment
