IHSH-68-ind - 12oz Wabash Work Shirt - Indigo

[mclaincausey]

The Flat Head's Wabash is a denim with a dyed warp (guessing rope-dyed), so I guess it's an exception to the rule too.

I think Wabash was traditionally either dotted with wax and garment dyed, or garment dyed and then discharge dyed. The IH approach of instead rope dying warp and weft and then discharge dying it is indeed next level and I've expressed admiration for this reinterpretation of the classic technique elsewhere. I haven't seen it elsewhere either.

@Giles was that the OG version of the Wabash you initially requested from Haraki? I like the current version but recall a version that had some sort of overdye or treatment that is no longer applied.

I think I have 3 items in the current version. It's amazing.

The old version was dyed ad woven in the same way, but Haraki was not happy with the colour of the dots, so he overdyed it with a light brown wash - I still have the shorts I made from a pair, will post pics later today.

As far as I can recall, it was always an aluminum button …
