Samples - New Products We Are Working On

The 21oz Wabash was only ever made into the 824. There’s never been a shirt or jacket over 12 in wabash. So far, anyway.

@mclaincausey:

Interesting thought. Has there ever been like a 25oz wabash? I don't recall there having been but what a great fabric for CPOs, chore jackets, and the like. (Or even a classic jean jacket pattern).

I have the IHV-30’s made out of 21oz wabash and based on those I think a 25oz fabric would be extremely difficult to do anything sensible with. The 21oz wabby is already less flexible than 21oz denim.

The idea of using the 21oz for CPO’s and a simple jacket appeals.

In full transparency, I won't be buying the CPO, but I think the fabric weight should be heavier to differentiate it versus the western wabby.

That's exactly how I feel. I already have the 12oz Western so it's difficult for me to justify buying it again for the side pockets.  Then again I am doing that with the IH-526PJ

No, we have not got a price for this yet.  But I would guess late this year/early next.

Day 1

This is one lovely shacket. Feels a lot more substantial than 12oz.

The sleeves feel like they will benefit from a hot wash to get a bit of shrink. If they don't then I won't worry too much as the weather gets colder this will have layers under it.

[neph93]

You can hot wash IH wabash and it will shrink, especially in length. But do soak thoroughly first and use low rpm’s or else you’ll get ugly white lines.

Funny you should mention the weight, I picked up a IHSH-33 the other day (I already have a 62 and a 68) and was surprised how light it felt compared to wabash despite them both being 12oz. It’s a result of the stiffness of the wabash compared to the softness of the denim I think.

Looking good, @spitfiredealer.  Can't wait to see what you can do that wabash.
