Wabash

[Omega Man]

Need your help here.  A few questions for a noob. 
What exactly is a Wabash shirt?  Is it the pattern/design of the fabric (denim)?  How it is sewn together?  Where it is originated?  Can it be done in a colour other than the blue?

This is Wabash:

maybe this helps as well

[SepticSef]

YES!my prayers have been answered

[rocket]

I'm pretty sure that a IH version will come out very very nice

[Splattered]

Don't mind the stripes but i'm not big on the pockets… and i've decided i dont wanna go regular buttons w over shirts anymore, just snaps for me. Just sayin.

Is the 'wabash' painted and not a woven pattern?

[FurattoHeddo]

I'm hoping to see a western w/ (preferably black) snap buttons one day…

[daveo]

I'd love buttons and work shirt styling…

^^I believe Flathead solved this debate by doing both a western and a work style in wabash…just sayin.

[Beatle]

usually painted

[fobsquad]

in terms of 'striped' shirts, IH already has 2 hickory and the herringbone (which i need to get).
i wouldn't mind seeing a polka dot wabash

[Max Power]

has anybody a picture of a real beaten up wabash shirt? I wonder if the painted stripes fade.

@Geo:

i believe most of the time it is painted on with dicharge ink,which is used for screenprinting fabrics.the difference between discharge ink and normal screenprinting colors is that it does not "rest" on top of the fabric but rather discolors the fabric.
if that is indeed the case the white spots would go a bit lighter with lots of washing.

Yeah, but the FH western has been extinct for quite sometime, and an IH take on this would provide a cut that is a lot more favourable imho…

[Katsushin]

Agreed.

[DrPat]

I would love to see a wabash similar to this with the same cut and material as the IHSH-07

[Max Power]

Polka dots…tasty, but at first let's hope that the wabash comes out. I'd buy one in a sec.

[Giles]

All I know is that I asked Haraki to come up with a next level Wabash.  He is working on it, from the point I ask him to do something like this and he agrees, I leave the rest up to him….

Sounds great, I am definitely interested in one of these!
