    @nrtphotos said in IHSH-397-IND - 21oz Sashiko Work Shirt - Indigo:

    @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…😊

                  @nrtphotos Thanks guys, much appreciated! Looking forward to both of them. IH should be here Wednesday. SJ not until “before end of the year”, so I’ll have Fall and part of Winter to break the IH in a bit 🤓

                    @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.

                      @clutchdealer Close, it was released in March. 12oz is absolutely correct

                        Got both my large and XL today. As mentioned I ordered the large first and then was worried I'd need a size up after the talk here and ordered an XL asap . Looked at the large as I was taking measurements and thought it would be good visually, but upon putting it on, it's very fitted. Arms are tight when I cross my chest. Ill get some pics after the wind dies down but as of now I'm probably keeping the size up.

                          Got in on Saturday.
                          Fits as expected. A little snug around the chest-armpit/front shoulder area. Hopefully it loosens up with wear.
                          The texture of the fabric makes it an instant favorite.

                              This is the large. I think it is pretty good and if I didn't have the XL to compare id probably be happy enough and just be careful washing but going through all my pics, i have let go of my shirts that fit like this eventually as I hated getting sweaty pits from it riding there. I love the look but I feel maybe I'm just getting older 20240930_173926.jpg

                              Here is the XL the only thing I'm not a fan of ATM is the back view, kinda big. But I think I'll be able to wash this without a care and probably turn out ok. Thoughts?

                                @Denimminer man…I think you’re going to have to go with what feels best to you.

                                Personally, I think the large looks spot on. But I hear what you’re saying about the pits being a bit snug. That’s how mine feels too. I do think the fabric is going to loosen up nicely with some wear, but perhaps not so much under the arms.

                                The XL doesn’t look sloppy by any means. Maybe a bit boxy/ billowy in the body. But once it softens up I’d imagine you’ll get a more relaxed drape , plus the overall comfort you’re looking for.

                                Overall, I think the large looks best IMO

                                    @Denimminer I have the same issue. I love the trimmer look but cant stand the tight pits. I went XL and imagine it will settle in after wear and washing.

                                      @jaliskoe they are much brighter in person than in the photos. Fun to experiment. Cool thing about buttons is they can be moved or removed…Gonna rock em for awhile and see how the evo moves me.

                                        That was my problem as well. The pits and the biceps just didn’t work.

                                          I ended up sending both the XL and XXL back — this one just wasn’t in the cards for me. To be fair, work cut has never been my jam, because when I pick a shoulder measurement that fits, often the body ends up too wide. Didn’t notice the pits on the XL but @Matt i definitely noticed the biceps being uncomfortable.

                                          @Denimminer I totally agree with Mizz that yours looks like a great fit.
