IHSH-290-GRN - 10oz Mock Twist Selvedge Chambray Work Shirt - Green

[neph93]

Gaaaaahh… I have money for either a long awaited 62-BLK, or a spot of GAH. It might end up going on this though 

[sabergirl]

I saved up for 888XHS-MB, and I’m having to talk myself down from spending it on this, instead. I feel your pain, @neph93.

Hey what size would this be for Giles? I usually get the 99% of the time I grab the same. I notice Graham is a XL in this one and I usually size up from him but the chart is throwing me off.

[Giles]

I'll double-check tomorrow, but I think an L

**Edit - Of course I could be wrong  **

Giles will be XL. @Graham used to take XL in everything but has slimmed a little and takes the occasional L when measurements allow. I suspect the L in this was borderline for him and he was in-between sizes.

Spot-on the dot-on there @neph93 I just couldn't make the L work for me in this one. Would totally wear the shit out of this XL thou, love the loose fit combined with the workshirt cut and mock twist fabric!

[Jimothy]

Thank you gents just ordered me self an XL :).

Now if only one of the 4+ items I have on restock notifications could come in…

Green is my favorite color, I was so worried when I saw the initial measurements and short sleeves.

But… many thanks to @Ben for finding me a sleeve length in size L long enough to cover my gorilla arms!

Looking forward to seeing this next to the IH flannel, denim, kersey, serge, twill, and wool in the closet.

Fit pics to come!

Love this shirt, but the measurements just don’t work. I’m hoping to see this in the western cut as I need the shoulders of an xl and the chest of a large.

[hoppy_IPA]

@goosehd - id love to see a western version of this too.  great looking fabric

[Ben]

Sounds like this will be an especially nice shirt for you @budpatch as green is a favourite colour of yours although it sounds like it has a fair few other great shirts to compete with! Happy to have helped & really hope you enjoy it too, I'm sure you will.

Get mine today…..very nice fabric and many thanks to Graham for an L with smaller chest; perfect fit!

[Jimothy]

Anyone on the fence about this shirt don't be. The colour is amazing!

[Graham]

Locks wicked @Jimothy !!

Good man. Seeing this stuff in the wild is always important. Shirt looks great and may well end up in my Xmas stocking.

Hi.
Quick question for anyone in the know.  Is the green on the dark or light side?
Thanks

[Boras]

The mock twist is quite soft right out of the bag compared to the regular chambrays. Love the orange bobbin thread, this shirt is sweet. I’d say the green is a medium shade, between light and dark!

Big thank you to @Graham and @Chesson for finding a shirt with my particular dimension. Cheers!

[Jimothy]

@piranha I would second what Boras said and put this shirt at a solid medium green.

An interesting thing I've noticed so far however is that the shirt tends to "catch the light" and appear darker or lighter depending on your surroundings. Right now my shirt looks quite dark – but it was nice and sunny earlier and it looked much lighter. And actually case in point, you can see this effect quite dramatically by looking at the photo I posted above vs the photo of @Graham modeling the shirt for IH.

I feel like I need to post something in this thread for posterity.

I hope that this won't be the case but the fact that these shirts haven't already flown off the shelves has me thinking that years from now, someone is going to say "Man, you guys should re-run the IHSH-290-GRN!" and someone (probably Reuben :D) will chime in that a re-run is unlikely because it didn't sell that well originally.

I just want it on the record that it's taking a WHOLE LOT OF WILLPOWER for me not to pull the trigger on this shirt.  It hasn't happened mostly because you guys have damn near cleaned me out over the last 6 weeks with fantastic drops!  Like @sabergirl , I'm saving up for the 888XHSMB and I just can't pick up the 888XHSMB and this shirt.  But let the record show that that the absence of my credit card being ninja-starred across the pond is not due to the shirt's lack of awesomeness, for it lacks none, but due to the state of California insisting that I pay stupid sums of property tax.

Move out of CA. Problem solved…
