@CosmoSix5 This is a very good summation of Kersey:

IHSH-208 - Kersey Western

** Please Note: Our version is 100% cotton, but**:

Kersey is a kind of coarse woollen cloth that was an important component of the textile trade in Medieval England.

It derives its name from kersey yarn and ultimately from the village of Kersey, Suffolk, having presumably originated in that region. However the cloth was made in many places. It was being woven as early as 1262 in Andover, Hampshire, where regulations prohibited the inclusion of Spanish wool in kerseys.[1] By 1475, the West Riding of Yorkshire including Calderdale was also a major producer, while Devon and Somerset were major producers and exporters until the manufacture later moved to serge making. Kersey was a lighter weight cloth than broadcloth. English kerseys were widely exported to central Europe[2] and other places: a surviving business letter[3] from the end of the 16th century recommends to trade kerseys for good wine on the Canary Islands.

Kersey yarns were spun in large gauges (thicknesses) from inferior carded wool, and made thick and sturdy cloth. Kersey was a warp-backed, twill-weave cloth woven on a four-treadle loom.

I just received this shirt from James Dant in Indianapolis. I only did a quick "does it fit" but the fabric is really cool. It looks amazing. I'm glad I didn't get it to be a flannel type piece because it's not that. Looking forward to putting it through its paces.

@CosmoSix5 It's still one of my favorite IH shirts hands down. Unique texture and also the perfect fit for me. Enjoy!

Worn to the football game tonight. Cosmo's definition of this awesome fabric is a super soft 3ish wale corduroy.

Hands down my favorite non fading IH piece gotta be the gray Kersey. Love this material and how the black/grey works together on this one vs the camel or indigo

Not sure how I missed this one. Looks very nice

[danieljones33]

With the indigo shirt seeing a restock, is there any chance of this making a comeback?

[Alex]

@danieljones33 maybe...

I notice the website has had a bit of a cleanup recently with many past seasons products being removed, including this, does that mean the above maybe is now a no?
