IHSH-64 - Extra Heavy Jersey Western Sweat Shirt

[Mizmazzle]

@GraemeE thanks for your input man. Seems maybe the tag having dye or not might be the defining characteristic.

Seems @sabergirl ’s has lost its indigo in the letting on the snaps but has a tag with overdye on it.

These are the only two identifiers I am aware of…

[GraemeE]

@Mizmazzle the only way to find out for sure is to put a decade of hard wear into it.....

[pechelman]

I don't think this is worth the trouble. It's definitely not the color you want so you should send it to me for disposal.

[Mizmazzle]

@pechelman haha. Let me give it the decade of hard wear @GraemeE suggested and I’ll see where my thoughts are at that point.

[Giles]

I really don't know.

Images from the listing.

I found an indigo(?) one on ebay and told @Mizmazzle I was going to pass (I actually thought it was the same one he posted but this one is XL). Then I was shot an offer from the seller...and I made a counter offer to them, which was accepted in two minutes. $230 ain't bad eh? Now to find out what all the fuss is about.

[Mizmazzle]

@Oaktavia congrats man! Hope you love it. Style and comfort perfectly combined.

Sucks mine has fallen through. The whole thing went sideways.

[Oaktavia]

@Mizmazzle yeah man now I am wondering if this one is navy or indigo. Were there both?

[Mizmazzle]

@Oaktavia yup! It’s hard to decipher between the two though it seems.
The indigo version had indigo residue left on the snaps and they had a blue hue to them. Seems that may wear off over time though. Also the white tag on the side seam has overdye indigo when new. Similar to other OD’d garments. That might wear off over time as well.
To further complicate things…the navy lightens and fades with wear over time similar to the indigo. Haha. Sooo…

[Oaktavia]

@Mizmazzle oh hell yeah okay cool that helps me understand a bit more. Navy or indigo, this point I'm not sure it matters to me a whole lot with this particular shirt. Especially if they look so similar after they are faded anyway.

oh no, what happened?

[mclaincausey]

Man, what a drag Mark.

I do think the indigo would edge out the navy for me all else being equal, just because I’ve seen the evo of indigo dipped fleece (I have an IH dipped hoodie).

That said, can’t go wrong with either.

[Oaktavia]

@mclaincausey good point and I agree with you on this one, indigo would be the preferred option over navy. Either way, I am stoked to join this 64 club.

[mclaincausey]

@Oaktavia nice I didn’t even see ya got one. You’re gonna love the IHSH-GOAT!

[Oaktavia]

@mclaincausey should be here Friday. Maybe we can call it the Filthy GOAT.

A Small in the 52 weighs 20oz, a small in the 64 weighs 34oz - we are talking off the scale stubborn….

I got out my postal scale to give you guys a 'heft' difference:

IHSH-80 XL - 12.6 oz, 356g

IHSH-86 XL - 18.2 oz, 516g

IHSH-64 L - 36.4 oz, 1034 g

This is still mind boggling to me and I am super stoked to see mine in person later this week!

[Oaktavia]

Out for delivery...

@Oaktavia sick!! I am glad you grabbed this one. I had my eye on it, but ultimately thought it would be a touch too big for me. Happy that it is going to a good home.

Thanks man, I am glad too. I'll post photos later today if the fit is right on me.

64 has arrived, it is heavy as feck. Just a tad on the large side, so I am going to hot wash and dry it to see of I can get a smidgen of shrinkage. Pretty rad shirt indeed.

Now, I have read nearly every post on this thread over the past few days. I have noticed a tinge of blue on the tag. I do not see it on the snaps though. I can post a pic of that after its dry. But overall, I think this is a keeper. I might change my mind and if that is the case, I'll make a WTS post. I doubt that will happen though...this shirt is legendary IH.
