IHSH-78 - Indigo Dyed Hickory Stripe Work Shirt

[seanocono]

Okay, just picked this up today.  Impressions:  The fabric is stiff, as expected.  In typical IH fashion, you can tell this will soften, nicely, with wear.  It is definitely lighter than the 75.  If I had to guess, I would say around 10oz.  It's ever so slightly heavier than the pin check.  Some simple IH math (the only math I can do): TWSH-05<77<78<75. The sleeves are nice and long, and my XXL measured out to 30.3" in length; which I think is good for a work shirt.  Overall, it's a nice, fitted look.  It is really sharp and I don't think pictures do it justice.  This has immediately jumped near the top of my IH favorites.

Plan is to sort out decent pics tomorrow…...Office move and the Gosport Chainstitch Massacare are stealing too much of my time atm.....

Only just tried mine on and I echo the above - Really lovely material. I already suspect it will become a favourite.

Paula checked the measurements today.  They are accurate.

Managed to pick mine up from UPS this evening. Hoping to give it some quality wear over the weekend. Least it's safe now

Really impressed this arrived in 3 days from London; fastest ever!

…ahhh hell, who am I kidding. I couldn't wait even an hour

It's well and truly exceeded my expectations. I was NOT expecting a stiff-work shirt. Nor was I expecting stiff button/holes. The buttons feel great, the shirt feels great, it's a fantastic weight for the office. The fit (for me) is perfect. It's a little boxy due to the stiffness, but wow, totally worth the wait.

I have an ear to ear grin that's just not leaving my face.

Looks great, Snowy.  I'm not surprised to read that you love it, too.  Amazing shirt.

[Giles]

Yep, super-duper loving this.  This is an L…

Perfect Giles.

I'll be putting this beauty to work on Thursday, 1 day to let it breath, then game on.

Layered with the 71 - perfect for this freezing-ass 'Spring' weather

This shirt looks dope!  … but with the -68 and the -07 in the closet, I tend more to the -77.
What a "data-confusion" ... Ha,ha

Glad to join the stripes-club, humans.
Fuck, how stiff this is! I think it needs a good soak. I'm pretty sure.
Great shirt, by the way…

backside of this fabric is really terrific.
What do you think about a "reverse hickory" shirt…?

[madmonday]

inside of this shirt is very similar to the most recent wabash fabric . . .

Glad to have you in the club georgealien…

[Finn666]

those eyes…oh and the fit of the shirt isn't too shabby either

[georgeel]

hmmm … I think I'm gonna love this 78!

But I found this fabric stiffer than that of 75! When I move even makes sounds: crock-crock, just like cardboard.
Tonight I'll give it a cold soak, then I'll tell you.
