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

[Mizmazzle]

Mine came today! So very stoked!!
Normal size large.
This is straight out of the bag so rather stiff as far as drape. Absolutely love it!

I once bought this toy for my dog. It was made out of reused fire hoses. This is exactly what this fabric feels like to me…only a bit softer.

I’m quite surprised so many people are sizing up in these. I’m 6’4, 190 ish pounds and the XL is quite roomy on me. I wear XL typically in IH and only size up to XXL in UHF’s as I need the extra length.

Mine was pre-faded in the arms too from rubbing in the packaging, it is what it is. My expensive Sashiko western from Ship John was the exact same in this regard. I’ll say that I MUCH prefer this fabric compared to the previous 380. I still don’t really consider these to be a true Sashiko, nice shirt either way!

I think the sizing up thing for me personally was a combination of A. suddenly hearing that people had been doing so at the party and B. thinking there were going to be a lot more available than actually ended up going on the IH site. So, I just kinda made that under-pressure decision to go with the XXL. I ended up missing the Germany party slub flannel because that one you actually DID need to size up on, and I hated the idea of that happening again. Ended up being unnecessary in this case.

I tried on the XL today with a tee and it fit perfectly. The XXL came but I won’t get a chance to try it on til tomorrow. That said, I can’t imagine it not being too big, but we’ll see.

Some people sized up and like the way it fit, and others just went with the usual and worked out fine too. Typical different strokes for different folks sort o thing, but I definitely learned that I should probably just stick with what sounds right to me vs second guessing.

100% / trust the measurements!

But really, your post is worthless without a fit pic

I preordered the ShipJohn Sashiko last week, and have the IHSH-397 inbound. How would you compare the 2?

@Mizmazzle perfect fit IMHO

@Mizmazzle spot on! Congrats dude!

@Mizmazzle awesome man, glad it lived up to the hype!

Can you get get that second button fastened comfortably? We're a similar size so I'm glad you went for the L..

I've worn it every evening since getting it (too wet/warm to wear outside atm) and it's softened up significantly, and somehow feels even better now.

100% my new favourite shirt, especially considering I managed to avoid to 'racing stripes'... Whilst I understand why this happens, if I receive a shirt in that condition again I'll be returning it.

Maybe I'm just overly neurotic, but the way it looks really bugs me. It's definitely not just the way the light is hitting the folds as mentioned previously, and doesn't become much less noticeable with time and washes. Really ruins the uniformity and slickness of an otherwise beautiful garment for me..

Excuse the rant. Obviously I love the brand, but I like to think that constructive criticism will always be welcome here, lest we all become mindless sycophants.

@T4920 i have no problem to tell IH when they fuck up, believe me ! Creases on a folded product is normal … it was the same with all my shirts and my 526 PJ as well. It doesn’t stay.
If after first wash some are still experiencing the racing lines then yes there is a problem but not when it is just brand new and folded.

Got mine in the mail yesterday

Mines like that dosent bother me once these start fading that’s a miner imo

@Mister_Brue thank you

[T4920]

@Germinal of course, and yeah I'm referring to instances of it still being present after wash/wear. Had the issue myself with the Black Serge Western. Bothers me less now because it's become my 'don't give a fuck shirt' which I wash after every wear (and tbh I love the way it's developing a more chaotic worn/marbled look) but it still very much has faded in grey lines where the initial creases laid.

[Germinal]

@T4920 if you already had this problem then I understand your point of view. Have a great week end !

[T4920]

@Germinal haha yeh that's the only reason I went off... Also feeling a little sick and hadn't had my coffee yet at the time.

You too!

@T4920 Gonna need to see that 235-BLK now!

@FourHorsemen I have the SJ and from my understanding it's a much heavier fabric and a bit higher quality fabric, despite listed at 16oz. It really depends on body type and preference in fit, and I know IH tends to fit some folks better. For me (6-2, 195) they both work well for me. I just happened to buy SJ first and no need for 2 similar styles when so much on the horizon tempts me. We live in the golden age of excess and clothing options.
Curious to hear your comparison once you spent time with them.
