This would have serious potential to be a daily driver…

Dreams do come true!

Is this going to differer greatly from IHSH-21bk? Will the difference in the base material show when o/d'ed?

[Simon]

To answer my own question in case anyone else would like to know: I've been informed by Giles that these will be o/d'ed with blue indigo rather than the black used on the HSH-21bk, they may (currently under review) also have cotton stitching which will take up the dye, unlike the poly-cotton on HSH-21bk. It's looking like i may need one of each!

Hence the name 'Big Blue' ey…

[Giles]

Yep, I thought that was a bit of a clue….............

UPDATE

We have decided that the base fabric for this shirt will be a pale blue Oxford weave.

Below is a pic in its virgin state and a further pic in its indigo dyed state:

The cut we will do is a a Work Shirt.

Questions.

Should we do a Western too?
Should we do either version in virgin Oxford?

[Geo]

i'd go for both in the workshirt

if they were available right now I'd buy in this order:

1st - Indigo WS
2nd - Virgin WS
4th - Indigo Western

[Beatle]

lol..I'd go

1st - Indigo Westerm
2nd - Indigo Western
3d - white ws

[Giles]

You mean pale blue?

[Beatle]

sorry, yes

[Geo]

hahaha - no fair beats . . . you can't pick the great white in the big blue thread 

you need to choose another . . .

[Giles]

Geo, she was just being dim…...........

[mvb]

1st - Indigo WS
2nd - Virgin WS
3th - Indigo Western

[hectic]

Western would be great. I am indifferent to a variant in the stock Oxford.
