The Flat Head

Ok Seul.  Are you going to keep both (the FH and the IHSH-68)?
What's your impression between the two?  This one is diamonds and dots right?

[Seul]

IHSH-68 rules the world but the fit didn't agree with me. This is the old FH Wabash. It was cheap and I will abuse it.

The best wabash fit yet, for you Eli.  How's that denim?  FH uses a 12oz denim, then they discharge print the dots. IH uses a 12oz twill weave and they bleach the dots into the fabric. Personally I like the IH wabash better because it represents traditional wabash, but in a way heavier than traditional weight.

[Seul]

It's ok. Definitely not as heavy or crazy as the IH… But then it has obviously been washed and worn hard by mankarat. It's excellent to work in!..

[MikeC]

Very nice.

fit is great Seul, for the wabash still think that the original IH one (like on the IHSH-55) is the coolest I have seen…

[Seul]

Still looking for IHSH-55 in M…

[rocket]

can't sell mine, sorry…

[Seul]

Do you think I could possibly try it on, though?.. I can pay for postage, and ship it back with some nice chocolates… Just need to know whether I should actively look for this shirt or not...  :-\

[rocket]

sure, next week maybe tomorrow, mate, busy atm and traveling the next days, PM me your location (again)…

[grandmasterben]

Seul, I think that wabash looks perfect on you. Enjoy it and wear it HARD!

yap, it sure is!…

I love my FH wabsh and like the fact that it's "real" denim. Somehow the lighter colour of the IH ones never appealed to me that much. But the fading abilities are better on the IH ones. So, why not keep both?

[Seul]

It's not a matter of which one to keep. The FH wabash is the only wabash shirt I currently have.

[grandmasterben]

Excitement….

And the results.  SEXFHXRJB15 post-soak.

I dig the fit and the denim a lot!

…and that´s all that matters mate! congrats...

I think that RJB denim fades so beautifully and you will end up with amazing jeans in a year or two. Easily one of the nicest fabrics out there. I'm just put off by RJB's standard arcs and patch which aesthetically are not my thing at all.

[grandmasterben]

Yeah, in my opinion, rjb has equally or better fading characteristics than IH. I actually really dig the individual stuff on rjb, especially the sword embroidery and patch. But to each his own!
