P.s. Wearing this shirt in my profile pic. Been wearing on and off for over a year… but still haven’t washed.

@newtoiron It's a GA HLWYD Boutonierre like this

[newtoiron]

@AdamJ thanks. I’m gonna go one the hunt for one. So you just leave that pocket unbuttoned and use the buttonneire instead?

[AdamJ]

@newtoiron yep exactly

[Mizmazzle]

@newtoiron there is like a slide through on the boutonnière that passes through the button hole on the jacket and it sits in that. Then the pocket flap rests open on the pocket button below it.

@AdamJ I’m wearing it a lot. It’s slow starting out but feels like it’s snowballing now.

with a heavy heart I gave up my journey with this shirt it shrunk to much and the buttons just kept coming off I don’t know if it was my job that stressed the shirt to much but I sold it on to someone hopefully who can take it to another level

[Mizmazzle]

@Mindfulbiscuit oh man. This is a heart breaking story indeed. Did you find that it kept shrinking with each additional wash?
I’ve washed mine about 3 times now (cold/ line dry) and haven’t noticed much.
Your 397 was def the gold standard in fade progress.

[Mindfulbiscuit]

@Mizmazzle yeah I cold washed it and it just got to tight on me being a work shirt it fit well for me in the beginning but I always thought working in it didn’t help as mybe sweating in it made it moulded to my body as well I wore for 240 days it faded beautifully but this in this fabric not for construction sites

[Mindfulbiscuit]

@Mizmazzle thank you

[FlavourFade]

@ShopatIronHeart any chance this shirt will make a comeback?

@FlavourFade in a western version?????

[newtoiron]

I just wish it was a CPO. I love mine, but wish I could put my hands in some pockets. Even thought about trying to put em in after the fact.

[JoshC]

@FlavourFade Nothing on the schedule I'm afraid, however it's not to say we wont do it again in the future, so never say never.

[AdamC]

@newtoiron @FlavourFade Sounds like the IHSH-437-IND is one to keep an eye on. Has much more heft than the 13.5oz will have you believe

[FlavourFade]

@JoshC @AdamC thanks guys, I will keep my hopes up but look into the cpo for now:-)

[FlavourFade]

@DeeDee85 I am really getting into workshirt cuts lately, they just fit my frame better, but still lot of love for western cuts

[newtoiron]

@AdamC Ha. You don’t need to tell me twice. It’s top of my list for the season. I know you said it was your fave in the video too.
