IHSH-361-BLK - 16oz Non-Selvedge Denim Western Shirt - Superblack (Fades To Grey)

Late to the party on this one, but today was my first full day wearing the 361, and it is SO different from every other IH shirt I have. Funny, I used to think the wabash shirts were pretty heavy, but now when I grab one of those it feels so soft and flexible. Amazing what a little bit of perspective can do for a person! Those arm creases get locked in QUICK on this SBG.

@indigo_fades it's an amazing shirt and something really special. Hopefully will get the cpo version one day. The fabric is killer

[indigo_fades]

@FlavourFade Yeah I actually just found out about the 362 being the CPO version of this shirt a few days ago. That would be a killer piece to have.

Ok, finally one of THESE questions from me - will this (or the 362) make a comeback someday? @ShopatIronHeart

[Alex]

I dont think so, i keep getting push back on reweaving the fabric

[tody]

@Alex Thanks, I'll hunt one down somewhere...

What is the best way to confirm the shirt is exactly this model? I am looking at the fact that this shirt has no selvedge and it has black stitching inside (396 has red inside). Is that enough? Is there something else?

[FlavourFade]

@moskiitto post pictures and the crowd will easily find out if it's the real deal

@moskiitto there have a been a few variations of the SBG western over the years, in various guises. As @FlavourFade recommends, share some pics and we'll work it out!

@AdamJ @FlavourFade My only thing I was wondering, was the stiffness. Dare I say I was expecting it to be even stiffer. See here Lowlander's very old version of this I believe in the non-fade fabric but heavily used:

@Lowlander said in IHSH-361-BLK - 16oz Non-Selvedge Denim Western Shirt - Superblack (Fades To Grey):

And it's still as stiff as cardboard; it can practically stand on its own:

I can get it to that level brand new:

Or maybe xhsib and lefty's stiffness has just made everything else feel soft

[Lowlander]

@moskiitto the old one I photographed is actually the IHSH-08. That one is somehow crunchier still than the 361.

I believe I was just expecting too much. See some posts from 120 and forward:

I almost got it to stand by itself .. I think a soak is in order soon....

funny you mention that, I spent like 15 min trying to get it stand up for a pic. Was so close too

I tried too to no avail lol maybe after a soak but that won't be happening anytime soon.
