IHSH-389-IND - 12oz Dobby Cloth CPO Shirt - Indigo

@alex can you say more about the difference, if any, between sashiko and sashiko “style?” Is this not true sashiko, whatever that is?

[Alex]

No, it's not true sashiko as you say.

From memory, Haraki said that sashiko to him is handstitched (this is machine) and was typically done to add decoration or to do repair work where as this is just part of the fabric. Potentially him being a pedant, potentially him finding a way to justify him releasing a 'sashiko' fabric despite the fact he's previously said he does not like sashiko nor wanted to ever make one

It doesn’t need to be shashiko

Beyond being an industrial weaving process here, shashiko tends to have a contrasting thread color in the embroidering I think?

The pictures don’t recall shashiko to me, just a really beautiful textured fabric.

White or red shashiko on this fabric could be a really cool project for someone.

[Matt]

Either way I’ve asked about sashiko before and something like this is what I had in mind. It’s a beautiful shirt. Seems to be well developed andexecuted. The only question now is work or cpo.

[WhiskeySandwich]

Very curious to see the fades since the weft and sashiko are non-fading, yet the warp will fade alone. Don’t think I’ve ever seen anything like that ever. Should definitely enhance the texture of the colors.

Hoping Self Edge stocks this as I would love to feel the fabric first hand.

Cheese dyed?

Thats an easy decision
CPO has extra pockets to store snacks

[Matt]

Man that’s pretty smart.

[popvulture]

Plus it’s got western yokes, so you get to be a cowboy with snacks

[GraemeE]

never underestimate the power of cowboy snacktivities

[endo]

but the CPO is slimmer, after your snacktivities you'll only fit into the work

[Oaktavia]

Does anyone else think of this lil guy when reading the title of this tread?

[popvulture]

@Oaktavia he needs an IH sock!

[SKT]

@popvulture ha!

[endo]

[Inorganic]

@Oaktavia i don't think of that dobby, i think of dobby from 'Peep Show' (highly recommend)

[T4920]

@Inorganic flashbacks to Korfu '06...

[AdamJ]

[Oaktavia]
