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

Noticed some white on the inside of my shirt. Indigo loss, leftover detergent(woolite)or white t shirt transfer? Yes the last is a joke lol

@CosmoSix5 here is the inside of the sleeves on mine. Looks pretty similar to the marks on yours.
There was also a small spot on the inside near the collar that looks similar to yours. Pretty sure it’s just indigo loss.

@Mister_Brue
might have to wear it inside out. -
Hello! Long time lurker, first time poster.
Fell in love with the 380 early last year but was unfortunately plagued with a slightly tight forearm fit. Managed to pick up a XXL (typical IH sizing, although this shirt turned out on the fitted side) in the 397 late last year and have worn it almost daily for the last two months. It has quickly become my favorite shirt, so much that I managed to pick up an SP-large to wear as an over shirt! Looking forward to see how the two evolve over the years. Couple photos after 2 washes, and side by side to my 380.

Supreme Large?

This shirt over a 1600 is so good during the colder days

107 days wear

Thought I'd just add a few more reference type pictures of wear to this shirt. Had it about 6 months, looking at around 60-70 wears I guess, no wash (always over 2 layers and in winter) bit of airing every now and then outside. It's really hard to get pictures with good colour reference. Also as noted earlier, this shirt does not like stubble and will fluff up on the collar where it rubs.

@pechelman me too

And eventually in black…..

Just curious IH team, if you guys are allowed to say how many of these shirts were made in total? Are you mainly limited by the amount of fabric you can make or by the challenges of sewing?

As a general rule, the biggest bottle neck on production is the QCing, not the sewing or the milling, but all elements of the chain are under strain, so its easy for a couple of links to break at the same time and slow things down further.
Sometimes we are only able to get xx rolls of a fabric, and that then becomes the limitation. In the case of this shirt, we were not limited in the initial run, we took orders from all stockists and made assumptions for ourselves, and clearly everyone 'undershot' in the sense that we could have sold more. We will consider rerunning the fabric in the future, but that would come at the expense of factory time to make something new, or re run something else, so we constantly have to juggle what to make, when.
