Has this changed from 9oz to 13oz?

Joe

Yes, we were told it was 9oz originally but recently it was updated to 13oz

Oddly, this confusion made the shirt even more appealing to me. I got an XL and added a GAH button to it. I figure a heavyweight like it deserves a standout button. I’ll post pics when I get it but it won’t be until several weeks down the line.

I did the same! [emoji1360]

@Peterpiper  that is a great shirt, a great fit and a tidy photo. Looks darker than I’d imagined, in the wild.

On another note, I’ve said a few places on here I the last year that I’d reached peak indigo and didn’t want anymore unless it was on jeans. But between the kersey, the IHSH-225 and this I’m changing my mind. The fabrics are wonderful and the depth of indigo achieved quite beautiful.

[Peterpiper]

Thanks @neph93, it was the chance to wear something different in indigo without it being denim that attracted me to this one. That’s not to say that I love denim shirts, but it’s nice to have options..

Just got this in, might be my favorite IH shirt to date.
Long time no see y’all.

[neph93]

There he is! I thought you'd like this. You know you need to do a fit pic now @Broark …. 

[Broark]

I’ll try to get one over the weekend.
This is really heavy, almost too hot to wear here already…
Good thing I work in an office that’s freezing all the time.

Quick and dirty fit pic, haven't really worn this yet as it's so warm.
Not the most flattering angle (right at the knees) and excuse the Birks as I didn't want to take a photo with no shoes on.

Got this in the mail today!
Couldn’t resist a little GA flair

I saw your story on IG. Looks great man!! Is that the 12mm or did you go 13?

Congrats on the shirt. How’s it feel weight wise?

[Brock]

Haha that’s cool, Thanks!
I originally ordered the 12mm because the site says that’s normal for work shirts and top buttons for westerns.

But Adam sent me a picture of it after they sewed in on because he thought it looked a bit funny, the cats eye buttons on this shirt are 13mm so I ended up paying the $10 difference for the 15mm GA button. And I’m glad I did.

As for the shirt, it’s amazing! Super soft and cozy right out of the bag. It doesn’t feel any heavier than my UHFs or my wabash shirts.

I will post some fit pics soon. Here and on IG I’m sure

Here’s the two pictures he sent me, if it helps

Might get one more!

Questions for anyone.
Is this fabric considered a "denim?"
Is it a duck fabric?
Will it fade?

[Giles]

It is not a denim (denim is a twill weave). it is not a duck (duck is a prime weave).  This fabric is a double weave, so it is woven differently from denim or duck.

Yes it will fade.

Edit - when looking at the product I noticed a mistake in the description which I have now fixed.  The face is a prime weave (so like a chambray or duck), the reverse is a twill (like a denim).  But it's neither a duck or a denim.

[JDelage]

So it's woven with 3 threads? An "outer" warp, a weft, and an "inner" (or skin side) warp?

[Giles]

I think it is a little more complex than that, but getting an answer from H will be fraught with lost in translation opportunities…..

[Haddtoo 555]

I bagged a large….after I said no more .... we know how that goes. Now a 10 yr. anniversary work shirt.....and

that's it....maybe 

[piranha]

I just received my shirt last night and I looked at it and it finally dawned on me that the fabric is pique.  Not Pique like the guy that plays that terrible sport. but the fabric pique.  Excellent stuff.

[Giles]

It's not a pique, yes pique is a double weave but not the same as this….
