Has anyone here worn through their collars? How have y’all fixed it?
-
@deadendpro they can be unstitched and flipped around, putting the wear on the underside where you can’t see it.

@RobeOfTheMagi 526J-SLB is comfy and easy to wear. Fades comparatively fast is sort of down to how much you wear it iMO!
-
@AdamJ Thanks Adam! Any luck the slubby is going to drop before summer?
-
@RobeOfTheMagi No, sorry, I should've checked that before making the recommendation! Depending on what size you are, Rivet and Hide have a good size range currently

Hello all, had a question regard the differences between the Wabash 12oz Western shirt indigo IHSH-62-IND and the 8.5oz Herringbone Steipe Western -IND IHSH-424-IND.
These shirt both look identical on the site.
Are they basically the same shirt/material but the only difference is the weight or are they also different fabrics .
Trying to decide if I should wait for the 12oz to be restocked or get the 8.5 now.
Any insight or preferences would be greatly appreciated .As always, thanks in advance,
Jerry3times

@goosehd thank you

To the untrained eye, they look the same
I’m wearing the 8.5 herringbone today since I’m out on construction sites and it’s in the mid 70s and sunny, I personally would be burning up in the heavier Wabash. I like having both because it gives me options depending on the weather.
-
@Jerry3times I haven’t handled the fabric of the 424 in person. But referring to the pictures @Nick provided in the thread, they both evolve beautiful and fast.
This is what Adam Welch wrote about:
“The complexity of the weave, the cut, the luxuriously light yet impervious fabric of the 424, and the fabulous fade potential make this a competitive complement to the 12oz Wabash. Any conscious connoisseur would undeniably need both.”To dig deeper, look at this faded Wabash or this indigo Herringbone.

Looking to chase after some vintage fades. Anybody try washing their denim on high spin? I realize a lot of indigo streaming is from washing improperly, ie not flipping inside out and not pre-soaking before wash. If I take my precautions I can probably blast them in the washing machine though yeah?
-
@freepickin. I never used the high spin cycle of my washer, but I regularly use the medium spin cycle and nothing bad has ever happened.
-
@freepickin I was,and have been washing all my IH gear with absolute impunity,and disregard as to spin cycle etc. I’m not a fan of contrasty fades and all of my IH jeans have old school vintage fades. When they had the theme week,I posted my two oldest,most faded pairs,if you want to take a look.
