IHSH-35 - Herringbone Workshirt

[Giles]

We made the pockets a tad deeper so that they would fit the new iPhone.  The fabric is heavy, about 15-16oz…G

"wear as long as possible without washing" For some reason I don't see how this would add more character to the shirt as apposed to a pair of denim. Are there any fades or anything that would happen to this shirt if it used for a long period of time w/o washing?

[corporalclegg]

I really doubt you would get any sort of high contrast fades, but the shirt is definitely built to age well, and im sure that the shoulders and elbows would show more wear if the shirt was washed less often.

All IH shirts have that label, even the flannels.  The shirts won't fade and you can wash them as much as you want.

I asked Giles this exact same question after purchasing my first IH shirt.

[corporalclegg]

Although all Iron Heart shirts do have that label, im sure that this one will fade, look at the loose thread in the middle of the button hole, which started out the same dark indigo color the rest of the shirt was.  Please feel free to step in and tell me if im wrong on this one G

My 07 has some very slight fades along the arm seams as detailed here http://www.ironheart.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=756.45 and I'm sure something similar would occur with this shirt if the dying process is similar.  But it won't fade like jeans and I really doubt it's necessary to pay attention to the amount of washing and wearing (as stated on the label).

These are the vintage overalls that Haraki got the inspiration for the Herringbone favric:

Can some of you guys tell me how heavy the herringbone fabric feels comparing to the hickory stripes ?

Giles - wondering if we could get Haraki to overdye some of them…really dig herringbone, but would love bk...

[Giles]

Nope,  they are all here, not sending them all the way back to Japan for the treatment…

@elclintor:

question:

how come the IHSH-35 from el has 2 buttons on the end of the arms and my 35 has just one on each site?…

[Giles]

One of them was first sample I believe.  Not sure which one, I've lost track….

[Finn666]

^ah ok…now that would explain it o/course :)...thx G.

and what i was talking about:

[Giles]

The one that Corporal Clegg originally owned was the pre production sample,  I guess that had the extra buttons….

[Finn666]

^thanks…so mine is a "normal" one that actually went into production...

[Giles]

Yep
