      @Anesthetist I'd be upset with those distinct fade lines on a brand new high dollar shirt. They should have pulled that one and any others that were "bad". I realize these are unique fabrics and weaves with deep indigo but that needs to be taken into account when being produced. Nobody would take a pair of jeans with that down each leg. Someone needs to comp you.

      The lines don’t bother me… but, you’re completely within your rights to raise concerns on a shirt that costs nearly half a thousand dollars. To each their own!

        @msafrons As others have said, make sure you find a good tailor.

        I was recommended one by Junior from Rivet and Hide, who does their alterations for them (Pinnas and Needles, who are excellent).

        I have had multiple IH jeans, jackets and shirts altered by them.

        I now use two tailors, Pinnas and Needles for anything more complex / on more expensive garments and then a local tailor I trust for more straight forward things. If you have not had a recommendation, then I would take another garment along as a ‘trial run’.

        I ain't got time to bleed.

          @nrtphotos I bought an XL & for ref, I’m 6’1 and 175#. I am in between sizes on this and being a thicker fabric I am happy I went up. It is a little loose in the waist but as it continues to soften I imagine it wont be so pronounced.
          Sorry for the crap pic, it’s been super overcast.!

              I went with my usual size on this and measurements worked for me. Fabric is truly exceptional.

              I was concerned that it may be too similar to the dobby cloth cpo, but completely different.

              Beautiful dark indigo and purplish tones and a rich texture reminiscent of scales. Nicest example of sashiko that I have seen.

              Asked for IH to make sashiko almost ten years ago now. Glad that Haraki finally changed his mind!

                      @FourHorsemen good question. The SJ is very long, I actually like this as I find most IH is barely long enough for my size and taste - I have to size up in UHF’s for the extra bit of length and I find they are not a great fit as a result. The SJ is also a more tailored modern fit, I like this too. As for the fabric, they feel pretty similar in terms of weight. I own a PBJ sashiko jacket and consider PBJ the absolute king of Sashiko, SDA isn’t far behind. The IH stuff labeled as Sashiko isn’t really Sashiko IMO, the SJ stuff is a bit more in line but not the puffy stitches you will see on some of the real deal fabrics. My SJ shirt actually has a couple minor QC issues, they are not made in house by SJ. The IH shirt was as expected in terms of fit and finish. If I had a gun to my head and could only keep one it would probably be the SJ as it’s a bit better fit for me, I’m happy to have both, though!

                          Thanks for the helpful review!! What were the QC issues? Do you know where the SJ shirts are made?

                            @Buckeye there was a huge eight inch loose thread inside on of the sleeves, it was kind of sewn into the seam in various areas. They told me it shouldn’t be a problem and to cut it, haven’t had issues so far. The side tag also was torn a new one, looks like it got sucked into the sewing needle somehow? It was full of holes. I was a little choked about that, it is what it is.

                            Ship John farms out quite a few of their products to other companies to produce. I think just about everything besides the waxed fabrics is sewn by different companies. Personally, I think they should be a little more upfront about this, as they often talk about the associated costs of paying their staff fair wages - those staff aren’t making the a lot of the products. IMO this is also how stuff like my shirt made it out of QC, should have probably been a seconds offering.

                              Received mine today . I was quite nervous about the sizing. I stayed TTS after checking the sizing chart carefully. Couldn’t have asked for a better fit. Just as I prefer it. Got a nice sample without any greases on sleeves etc.
                              Gonna wear it for my first day at new job tomorrow. And the day after and the day after and…😊

                                          @RubyRae they actually released the 389 CPO back I want to say in April. I picked one up and it’s by far my favorite IH I have owned. I want to say it’s 12oz but still it’s a head turner I get compliments all the time.
