IHSH-202-WHT - 10oz Selvedge Chambray Western Shirt - White
-
That’s a good move. This is a glorious shirt.
I’ve come to the realisation that being XL in shirts and sort of bound to IHUK because of my location is a blessing. It means that when they sell out I can move on mentally. Otherwise I’d have even more shirts than I do, and I already have enough [emoji1]
-
After putting off and hoping they would sell out in my size, I finally pulled the trigger.
Wise choice. It's a great shirt. Even better in the flesh than in the pics.

I have never been huge on the color white for clothing (partially because I have two toddlers), but I feel given the standard quality if IH fabrics and the stated experience of other members (thanks Adam! @Appfaff), this should be no big deal to keep white.
Plus, I feel with the white color, the shirt can be worn in more "dressy" situations…I know from my experience with the indigo version that the feel of the material is next level (which is pretty much the given for any IH piece).

@DStauffer - I wore mine to a property walk through a few weeks ago and managed to get a ton of black marks on it.
A wet rag and a minute of my time brought it back to new.

My experience of IH chambray is that it cleans up very well. Whether that is a feature of chambray generally (it being a workwear fabric), IH chambray specifically (Haraki-san being Haraki-san), or just plain luck, I don't know.

Well this might be blasphemous to anyone who bought this WHITE Chambray, but after one wear I decided I could not do white. Ended the day with tons of indigo stains from my denim, along with just an overall "dirty" feel. I knew it would spend most of its days in the closet or in the wash, so I had my local "Indigo" guy dye this puppy.
I gave him clear instructions to only do one dip, knowing it would come out fairly light and bright. . .but was not expecting the "marbled" look that occurred. Just received it today and I am extremely pleasantly surprised. Had to put it on right in the office. It is marvelous!
Might not be for everyone, but in my book this is one of the nicest shirts in my closet now, and I feel like it is just going to get better with every wear and wash.
So glad I did it!
Huge props to the dye master Isaac Paul:

Blasphemy!
I bet it’s going to look even more badass with a ton of wear.

Funnily enough it’s the whole reason I bought the 202. I love this Old dirty Patina that natural Denim, or in this case Chambray gets after some wear. The bleeding from my denims is really starting to show. I like ke the Indigo overdye you did and it looks great indeed. But , hey. Different strokes and all that. Haha
-
@Jim I am drooling over your progress on this shirt. I think it is exactly the aesthetic that this shirt needs. Unfortunately for me, I knew I would never have been able to hold out long enough to get this shirt there (after one wear I was already contemplating a wash), so I decided to go the other way. But you are definitely working on a masterpiece there. . .keep up the great work!
-
@leatherdenimcanvas Thanks! I must say yours also is a great alternative and is going to look amazing with wear.
I’m gonna keep on this on Wand see how long I can hold out before washing hehe -

No problem at all sir! Looks like you may have scored there too [emoji1417]

A year of no posts… can’t believe it - we asked for years to have these remade lol [emoji23]
I will admit, I sized too small on mine. The taper on the waist and larger shoulder meant I could either go skinny and wear as an “over shirt” unbuttoned with a trim fit, or get the larger one and nuke it.
I wear it often, although never very hard, and have yet to wash it. If I button the bottom button, it needs to be tucked is, due to no extra room to fit over a waistband, but I dig the “sloppy” aesthetic and selvedge details wearing it kinda open [emoji12]
Also, pimped it today with a pin from an old friend that started a clothing brand based in Fort Worth, Tx - my “hometown.” Not sure why the part of town we grew up in is often referred to as “Panther City,” but the pin is cool none the less
