IHSH-426-KHA - 12oz Military Moleskin Western Shirt - Khaki

@Mister_Brue No, don't think so. We asked Japan about the distinction between the two, just waiting to hear back!

@SamD was doing some digging. The results are as you'd expect, a denser, coarser fabric more suitable to withstanding abrasion. The sort of thing you'd expect with military. We were waiting to hear back from Japan with concrete info though. I will update you if we get further info.

For comparison though, the IHSH-216 was a lot softer than this, with a smoother hand feel and visible sheen to it. Perhaps they felt it warranted a distinct naming difference to tell the two apart.

@Mister_Brue I found this on the googles

“Essentially, the term "military moleskin" refers to a specific, thinner application of the fabric for blister prevention, while "moleskin" broadly describes the sturdy, brushed cotton textile used for garments.”

But could be a different interpretation in Japan.

[Mister_Brue]

@AdamJ Thanks. Sounds good!

@ZackB That sounds like lthe opposite of the above, so we’ll see. I think it will be a killer shirt in any case. Well done for digging.

[SamD]

@Mister_Brue @ZackB Sorry it’s taken a while, but I finally have some clarification from Japan…

The 12oz moleskin is based on an old European military fabric (similar to German army moleskin), woven thicker than our previous versions. Those fabrics were also heavily brushed to create a very soft hand, whereas this weave is only lightly brushed to retain stiffness. Finally, Haraki san has intentionally opted to use sulphur-dyed yarns this time around, allowing for easy fading to achieve a vintage military aesthetic.

Hope that clears things up a little!

[Mister_Brue]

@SamD Cheers Sam; very interesting, I’m glad I asked.

[Crease]

This is going to be awesome with the sulphur dye!

Out in Japan per their blog. This one has been on my high priority list. I don't have anything like this in the closet.

[Indigo Alchemist]

@CosmoSix5 same for me, I need something that’s not indigo or OD indigo .
I was between this and the olive CPO but I love this color tone more.
Looking forward to the release

Just itching for this

[Fishizzle]

Just had the privilege of checking this one out while over in Japan—absolute . Unfortunately all XL sold out in Japan already. Nice soft feel with the moleskin.

@Fishizzle this one is my top pic of the entire FW25 collection

[Fishizzle]

@Indigo-Alchemist - Same here, this is a special one.

[Indigo Alchemist]

@Fishizzle, I think it will be available soon, as Burg & Schild in Germany has already announced the black shirt as being available soon.

[CosmoSix5]

Both have been out in Japan for about two weeks. This one really seems awesome

Yeah.. We had an 'unexpected' shipping delay on these ones, but they are nearly ready to go
