IHSH-31 Herringbone Flannel

Hey ampersandwich, I think L should work with you. You will probably need to use a proxy service from Japan (e.g. Sutocorp). You can read up on them in here: http://www.superfuture.com/supertalk/showthread.php?t=162257 But be preapared to pay for bank fees/service fees/shipping fees/paypal fees and there is no return. If it were still available from Giles, I would definitely get it from him.
-
Yup yup, always go with Giles as your first choice - if not just for sizing help and the ability to return if absolutely needed. I've proxied not too long ago… made a mistake and was stuck with a wrong size shirt. Otherwise not too painful. If its your only option, go for it... and you'll def need a large. I'm around 18" shoulders and sometimes even an L seems a bit tight on me.
-
Thanks for the advice, guys! And yeah, if Giles had the Large, I'd absolutely get it from him. But it looks like my choices are either M or XXL
I e-mailed Sharp Service (http://www.sharpservice.jp/), which seems to get excellent reviews on SuFu. I'm hoping it all works out because it's getting cool in Chicago, and I think I need this flannel in my life. -
@Jii:
Just ordered the navy one.. I'm feeling a bit dizzy and really happy and excited at the same time. I really hope it fits well, had to go with the biggest possible size which feels a bit weird. But I guess I am a bit off the japanese sizing charts ;). Damn brazilian jiu jitsu and my former weightlifting habits (and good food) :).
And it's here! Fits like a glove. Couldn't be happier!
Will post pics later, hoping for some sunshine later this week. Thank you Iron Heart and Giles! -

Damn, that's a nice looking colourway!
-
Dammit! The IHSH-31 are my favorite shirts out of everything i've bought this year… and now here we are looking at yet another colourway. UGH. sigh I love you guys. haha
(On a side note, i think these things were originally a one off?? Does this mean there will be another small run of the two existing colors made as well?)
-
Damn not too much i hope

-
Great news. Haraki has managed to pull some strings and got some space in the factory. So we will do another run of these, in a new colourway, I chose the colour last night. Should be available mid Dec:
Beautiful colourway, the stripe that runs through the black reminds my of red line selvedge.
-
I'd cold washed them before and gotten zero. If you're borderline and don't want shrinkage, just cold wash and hang dry. I was trying to get mine a bit smaller.
Good to hear. This will most likely keep me from stinking like a wet dog in a month or two
-
torn between this new colorway and the -32
i would get both but i canttttttt -
That new colourway is lush!
