Another idea maybe 8-10oz. denim/chambrai shirt in Oxford cut?
Here here. Can use the 283 as the model just make it a little longer in the body

Was there ever a mock twist chambray shirt in blue or a gray? The green, red and black always get comments on their uniqueness.

2 questions/suggestions. Have you ever produced Indigo dyed wool? and have you ever made whipcord heavier than 12 oz? both seem interesting.

@jordanscollected i think the answer to both is no, but both are interesting thoughts
-
@Alex combine the indigo wool idea with a symetric crewneck sweater please :).

Black, but it looks grey, because of how a chambray is woven:

Hi Giles! You are correct about the black mock twist! It is like a color shape shifter! I get comments on all three for handsome and unique they are. They also just have a unique hand feel to the fabric, now if only there was a blue one…..:)

How about a run of 19L Indigo/Black?

@V-P If IH wont make it and interested in other brands check out bravestar's frankenstein fabric. They also now taking orders for it, ships in november:

@moskiitto Yeah, I've seen that. They're making a really nice Type 2-ish jacket out of that fabric too which is tempting. But I would prefer IH and I really like the 19L fabric

I'd love to see more slim fit shirts that are wide enough in the shoulders and chest, but stay slim in the waist and don't flare back out at the opening. That flare is my pet peeve, and it bothers me every time I put on my Wabash. Fingers crossed for shirt tailoring service from IH one day
-
@indigo_fades Tailoring shirts is not something that will be happening from Iron heart. The question has been brought up before and the answer has always been the same.
There are many competent tailors out there who would be able to help you when and as needed.

@goosehd Unfortunately, none within more than an hours drive from where I live
Lots of wedding dress alteration shops, and not a single one that will do a flat felled seam, chain stitch, or even a proper bar tack. Maybe Railcar will offer shirt alterations someday...Well worn denim & leather is a journal of life.

I love my ihsh-381-olv and would really like to see more done with this 9oz serge fabric. It's perfect for easy wearing shirts. Drapes amazingly, is an ideal year-round weight and develops so much character with wear and washes. It'd be awesome to see more CPOs/westerns/works done with this in a variety of colors. The way this gets a muted fade showing all the crosshatching is fantastic, I really dig all of the sulfur-dyed pieces and I'd be lying if I said I wasn't disappointed they're kinda phasing out.
