IHSH-445-IND - 10oz Dobby Cloth Short Sleeve Mechanic Shirt - Indigo

[Ral1121]

Was in a self edge store today to get a pair of 888s-sbg and came home with this shirt as well after I felt the fabric and tried it on. Will be a perfect shirt to wear to the office. It is going in the rotation.

Wearing and washing, wearing and washing.
Contrast is from the underlying black weft.
It's fun wearing alongside the 684 and seeing how that indigo fades. The two garmets might as well be from different planets in their complex diffences.

@Oaktavia you getting much pilling (think that’s the right term) on yours?
I’ve worn mine only a few times and im getting these fluffy looking threads starting to pop up.

[Oaktavia]

@Rustygate37 hmm no I do not have any of that. Do you have a cat?

[Rustygate37]

@Oaktavia nah, definitely don’t.

Just a couple of days on a golf course cruising around in a golf buggy. Didn’t even go bush searching for my ball either.
I’ll keep at it

Yours looks cool as though, hopefully I’ll get there too

@Oaktavia what is your take on wearing this in the heat? For myself: having worn this a bit during the last weeks, I have to say I find it quite warm overall. Almost like a thin short sleeved sweater. Super comfortable etc, but perhaps really more for cooler days.... Also started wearing it without T-Shirt for the same reason..

@Tobi experiencing the same- with a good old-fashioned Schiesser undershirt (i always wear these) and a thin tee, it is a little too warm. currently wearing it open, it only helps a little. fabric does not breathe very well.

I agree the fabric is not exactly breathable however for me when wearing without any under layer it sits quite loose and allows for air flow, had it on a couple weeks back in Croatia in 33c heat and felt fine.

Wore it out to lunch today, temp was 27°c. Swapped it back out for a tee when I got home. She can get a bit warm especially with some humidity. Looks the goods though. The Misso approved, so that’s always a good thing.

[Oaktavia]

@Tobi another heat wave will tell is which starts today. But for me, I'm still used to kong sleeve shirts, so short sleeved anything feels light.

@Oaktavia what is the verdict on warm weather. I’m on the fence (living in North Texas).

[Ral1121]

@michael.rose0107 this fabric is pretty heavy in general I feel. I am in San Antonio and if I have to spend a lot of time outside during the summer, I wear something different. This is wearing mine without an undershirt as well.

This is still an amazing shirt and I wear mine to the office often. I just do not spend much time outside wearing it.

[michael.rose0107]

@Ral1121 Thanks for the update! It was very helpful.

[Oaktavia]

@michael.rose0107 I have a warm weather tolerance as I live in the foothills of Appalachia and wear heavy IH gear daily. With that said, this shirt is pretty easy wearing. Seems to breathe well. I recommend it 100%.

[michael.rose0107]

@Oaktavia Thanks! I’m trying to build up on short sleeve shirts. The highs right now is staying around 98 and I need a few shirts to cover the Summer.

[Ral1121]

@michael.rose0107 I am the same way as you in wanting to build up some short sleeve summer wear. While it is not a short sleeve, I do primarily wear it with the sleeves rolled up and I find it breaths pretty well. Look into finding the cotton linen shirt IHSH-443-IND. it is one of my favorites to wear when it is hot and I feel it is better wearing in the hot summers we get here in Texas. Won’t be long before we are seeing weather above 100 consistently for the next couple months.

[michael.rose0107]

@Ral1121 Yeah, I picked up the IHSH 444. It was nice to get as it was one of the first release for S/S 2026. I was able to enjoy on a recent trip.

[michael.rose0107]

@Oaktavia I received the 445 today. It will be a nice Christmas present and a fun Spring fade project.

[Oaktavia]

@michael.rose0107 yes, it will be. It takes well to washing, the outermost threads fade fast.
