      Very nice!! This shirt is so packed with character. I think it’s going to be a bit more stubborn to fade than we all initially thought. Which I actually really like about the shirt.

      In the easy chair with my boots on, melted whiskey in my hand. Could'na been asleep for more than three hours...time to go to work again...

        @Mizmazzle I agree it might be stubborn. My plan is to wash it on a regularly basis like once a week or maybe two weeks. 👌💙

          @PJ excellent! Some fabrics just love a good wash! I’m still on the fence about my washing regimen on this one. I may go for the opposite and wash only after it’s unpresentable for work. 🧌

              Does it feel like a 21oz shirt or does it have more of a lighter breathable quality to it?

                I (wrongly) decided to size up one from my typical Iron Heart size — I’m 5’ 10”, 165 pounds, and have a 39 inch chest and went with an XL instead of an L. Because this fits way more like a jacket than a shirt, I just ordered a Large.

                I absolutely love the material on this shirt though — by far my favorite that Iron Heart has produced!

                  @MrJay Large will probably be spot on 👌💙

                    @GandalftheGray We had a cold front blow in and it cut right through this baby, needed an outer layer for sure. I'm pretty cold natured so take that with a grain of salt, but I'd call this very breathable and not warm below 50F, IMO (60F for me 😂).

                      @GandalftheGray this doesn't feel like a 21oz shirt to me. My 17oz duck and denim jackets feel heavier for sure. This is a 60-70 degree shirt to me where my UHFs will be able to go a lil lower in temp

                        Thanks for the input fellas, for whatever reason I just equate sashiko with warmer weather but I’m extremely tempted although it would be breaking my 1 shirt per season rule (it’s already broken)

                          This is my first non-western Iron Heart shirt and it is frighteningly awesome.

                                  The good news: Man, this fabric really comes alive after a wash. Absolutely love the crisp feel and how it becomes just a tad more snug.

                                  The bad news: Two buttons did not survive.. I’m repeating myself but it would be such a blessing to have this fixed. Can’t believe I haven’t lost any of my Workshirt buttons yet.

                                  Anyways, repair done and after wash fit pics coming in tomorrow 😎

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

                                          @weftyarn the buttons didn't survive the wash?

                                          Well they did survive but the threads didn’t 😅

                                          @CosmoSix5 yes only one wash. Buttoned up and „inside out“ as always.

                                          Use it or lose it.
