@Buckeye thanks for the heads up, though, I appreciate it man.

@Oaktavia ah, thank you! I deleted the link!

@Tago-Mago Thanks for helping ease my mind! Looks like it fits you well.

[Tago Mago]

@Watty I’m happy with the fit and I tried it on in the flesh at the party and got solid sizing advice from @tody, his wife and @goosehd among others

@tody I wanted to do them but I was totally covered in dust and wood shavings that I risked catching fire when the phone took the photo

[tody]

@Luijim78 I'm sure the photos tomorrow will be glorious

[Luijim78]

@tody hahaha thanks my friend

Relax and take note. 190 lbs, 5’11”, XL (usual IH size). An object of majesty.

Here’s me in an L, up one from my usual M…

Is this like the most popular IH shirt ?? I feel like just about everyone got one!! Official IH uniform!!!

Damn you all

All these photos and descriptive texture posts… this shirt wasn’t even on my hit list. Was kinda apprehensive about getting it because of the fabric weight and buttons only option.

Luckily I found one, my size on the BlackBlue website.
Secured! FOMO avoided

Great posts, everyone!

@Matt I just know your feet are comfortable 24/7

[marco23d]

@jaliskoe now you got me thinking about it smh. I’ve been going back and forth

[Mizmazzle]

@jaliskoe gotta have one dog!! Official team uniform!! Mine lands on Friday!!

@marco23d

When in doubt, stay the hell away from the dedicated discussion forum post! More often than not, it will make you want to have it.

I was like, nah, don’t want it… definitely don’t need it, (just got a sashiko chore coat delivered) and boom! Four hundred and change later I have one en route, lol!

@Mizmazzle Yezzzir! Had to follow suit, seeing all the IH OG’s grabbed one 🫡

Damn I made a tactical error holding off on buying this. Tried it on Saturday at self edge and already sold outta my size online, put them up faster that I thought. Get paid tomorrow, Oh well guess it wasn’t meant to be and now I can drop the money on season opener golden state Warriors tickets for next month.

@jaliskoe the struggle is real.

[Mizmazzle]

@Matt nailed the sizing dude!

[pechelman]

some of the soft comments are throwing me; it sounded like the earlier input was it's hard faced and rigid and more similar to a canvass or duck?

I'm still sitting this one out as it visually looks more like indigo duck to me and not really like a sashiko fabric as did the 380/389. Not that there's anything wrong with that of course.

[marco23d]

@jaliskoe ha. I have the rgt sashiko jacket but their shrinkage is wonky. An IH distributor just opened up on the central coast here so thinking of stopping by to possibly purchase before an Anderson paak concert in Santa Barbara tomorrow

[Oroccoco]

@pechelman Love my 380, but to me it's more a textured dobby than a real sashiko. I think this 21oz is closer to a proper (machine-made) sashiko of the kind that Pure Blue Japan etc specialise in. I passed on this one, but predicable second thoughts kicking in now
