IHSH-79 - Slubby Blue Mid-weight Chambray Workshirt

[Giles]

It's extant, no urgency…..

[Simon]

Most Chambray shits are made with the warp threads running longitudinally, i.e. from top to bottom. On the 79 Haraki seems to have rotated the material by 90deg so the warp runs transversely, ie from left to right, right to left. Look at the picture on the bottom of page 1 comparing the IHSH-79 to the IHSH-21, the  grain of the shit therefore appears to have horizontal strips as appose to the standard vertical grain.

Love this shirt

Extremely important to me: how is it on the skin? Soft touch or rougher?  ??? ??? ???

[Simon]

It's not rough as such, but is quite crisp for the weight.

[georgeel]

Thank you, Simon, I needed that.

Has anyone sized down in this?  From the measurements it looks like it could be do-able…

[seanocono]

My experience is TTS is the way to go in this.

[grandmasterben]

Thanks for the quick response… I'm gonna sleep on this a little.  This shirt and the 68 are both really calling out to me...

[seanocono]

The good news is they are both Extant, so you can take your time and make the right call.

I feel you on the 68, though. I am patiently awaiting a summer restock.

I got this in a med, hoping I could make the measurements work because the large would've been way too big in the body.  Sadly the arms were too short, and it's on it's way back    Too bad because it's a beauty, it's the perfect summer weight and it looks truly fantastic!! If you can rock the work shirts, buy it! It will not disappoint!

@MikeC:

It's enroute.  I'll have it, in a week or so. Fits pics, coming soon.  I sold my IHSH-46 black to get this. I got a size XL, which seems a little big, but I think it will shrink down perfect, over time.  Especially the sleeves.

My blue mock twist shrank .75 in the arm length, just FYI.

@Giles:

Today, Haraki and I decided that these will be extant…

And yesterday we changed our minds…..This is now endangered and will be replaced by a slightly modified version of the IHSH-21.  The only difference between the old version and the new is that the selvedge ID will be reda and not blue...

Available late August/early Sept....

Great picture mate!..

[trail and arrow]

thanks!

[RedStripe]

I had to return one of these yesterday, lovely material and construction!!!

…can't believe you guys refer to that as light/mid weight !!!

I had to go to my wardrobe and call all my other shirts 'pussies' 

[Omega Man]

Hey RedStripe, you got two of these?  This is a good looking shirt, I quite like the colour.  This is mid weight indeed, if you want heavier weight, you can always go for IHSH 13, IHSH-16 and IHSH-17 (quilt lined IHSH-16).

[RedStripe]

Hi OM, no, only ordered one and was sad to see it go, could tell by the next size up measurements that they weren't going to work as well.

It's a  really lovely piece, compared to my other shirts the material was surprisingly thick, the heavyweight ones must be incredible!

[georgeel]

I like this shirt very much, and I really need a traditional blue chambray work shirt, but I'm afraid this one could be itchy…
