IHSH-397-IND - 21oz Sashiko Work Shirt - Indigo

[ARNC]

@Graham any thoughts on how this fabric compares to the 12oz dobby used in the 380 (other than the obvious weight difference)?

[Mizmazzle]

@popvulture How about black bottoms and indigo tops?? I find either way to be a winning combo.
Last year when I was only rocking my XHSbb it felt like everything looked so damn good all the time. Now im back to indigo jeans in the rotation and have to be more cognizant of the pairings.

[popvulture]

@Mizmazzle I definitely flip flop like this when I wear black jeans sometimes, but probably more often than not I tend to just go all black.

I do plan on wearing my 295 with black jeans a lot more this winter. It’s a prime example though of how when I buy something outside of my pattern, it can end up neglected unless I really force myself to wear it.

I feel like after buying a ton of stuff over the past several years, it’s been nice to figure out that I’m happiest in blue jeans / black tee / black leather jacket / boots. I’d be cool with the Pee-Wee closet version of that

Hot damn this shirt….

[clutchdealer]

I so want this but I feel guilty since I bought it’s younger brother the 389 and I haven’t even been able to wear it since it hasn’t gotten below 80 degrees in 4 months and there so much other stuff I want.

@popvulture Hell yea dude...nothing better than finding what works and sticking with it....ala the Einstein's closet full of the same brown tweed suit.

@ARNC
More coarse and substantial for sure.

I only had 5 mins to play around with them earlier when I was posting whilst shipping them out. You’ll get to see it soon

[ARNC]

Thanks @Graham. I’ll definitely be looking on Saturday.

I won’t ask if I need a 380 and a 397 (I’ve been here long enough to know what answer I’ll get)!

I’m so in on this shirt. Main focus of the fall lineup for shirts at least

[John Galt]

Was so looking forward to this, but with no size xs available and the size small too big, I won’t be joining this party - bummer - but my wallet is celebrating. The only possible positive would be if a western version was released in my size in the future which would be my preference anyway.

I'm interested @Graham how does this feel on? 21oz seems like a jacket to me. Does it feel like a jacket or a shirt? The only 21oz IH top I have is the 526j white and id not call that a shirt at all. A wonderfully thick and stiff denim jacket

[pechelman]

The way that drapes in the unbuttoned shot almost makes it look like duck / the untucked. Just thicker and heavier. Also looks similarly coarse. Any of that sound right to you @Graham ?

[Graham]

@CosmoSix5 This most definitely feels and fits like a shirt and not a jacket and @pechelman sounds pretty right my man.

@AdamJ Interesting how much lighter this 21oz fabric appears. Curious to see more photos in different lighting.

[AdamJ]

@RubyRae I posted a side-by-side of the 12oz dobby shirt from last season which shows the similarities, if you haven't seen it

I am getting mixed feelings on this one with time. I fear the heavy curtain style with some cardboard effects. I will wait for more fit pics before pressing the trigger.

[pechelman]

I might have the same feeling on this now. Hopefully the 380/389 fabric comes back in something that works for me, but if not, oh well. My only thought right now is that I'd really like to see this fabric in person.

[Germinal]

@pechelman I have the 380 and the fabric is exquisite !

[pechelman]

it really is. I had the 389 briefly but the cut on my one sample didnt work for me and it had to go back
