    @catdad1 such a great shirt. Love the way it drapes the more it breaks in. Been meaning to wash mine for a few weeks now. Think it’s time.

    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...

      What does the SP mean in SP-Large?

        "Special".

        We had no XXXXL tags when we persuaded Haraki to start making 4XL tops. But for some unknown to me reason, we had some SP-Large, so that is what we used.......

          @T4920 I used to think it meant "super large" and to this day, that is what I refer to it in my mind 😂

          The devil is in the detail..

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

                  Use it or lose it.

                      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.

                        @Llew81 nice work! Coming along really nicely. Excited to see how these look in a couple years.

                          I really hope this fabric comes back in a Western or cpo.

                                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.

                                    Several dozen wears. Still looks and feels new. And I'm ok with that because it looks great. Several people have asked if they can touch it lol. My wife is jokingly concerned.

                                      @Alex thank you for the response. I always appreciate hearing about all of the background work that takes place to make all of these wonderful garments come to life! A true combination of knowledge, good luck and a lot of hard work. We do appreciate all of the unseen work that makes this all possible! That sashiko shirt was truly one that sent all of us scouring the world to get. It was worth it!
