I’ve always wanted one of these but whenever I get a little bit of bread to throw around I use it for limited release seasonal items. Thanks @Clint_D for the trade. Your post said the condition was “very good” as opposed to “excellent” or “like new.” This thing seems like it’s barely been worn at all. Very good indeed…

Is it possible to order IH's dark navy cat eye buttons to replace the white ones on this shirt?
Sorry if this should perhaps have been posted in the hardware forum.

Hey @rovdjurstorget Unfortunately we do not have any navy cats eyes available. I believe it's only the IHSH-277 that has these on, there may be another but it's quite a rarity. I can check with Japan and see if we can add some of these to our next button restock order.

Interesting, that would be great. Thanks for the reply
Unless, you might have other "blue coloured" cat's eye buttons other than navy?
Perhaps even the black buttons from the IHSH 21 BLK could do the job. But I'm sure something blue would work better.

Not to throw a wrench in the gears and try and fix something that ain't broken, but what about adding snaps to one of these instead of buttons?

Generally speaking Haraki-san is strict on that. Work shirts have buttons, westerns have snaps. There have been exceptions, notably work shirt CPO’s, and the quasi-legendary IHSH-91.
More recently a run of denim work shirts a la the IHSH-75 were announced with snaps. That was a case of something being broken and needing fixing though. The 12oz denim was proving difficult stuff to create quality buttonholes in. The point being it isn’t as unlikely as it may have been a few years ago.
On the other hand, there’s always the IHSH-13 of course.

If mechanic's shirts are considered a category of work shirt, there's a long history of snaps on IH ones there, and I don't think (easily could be wrong) that snaps are any more traditional on that style of shirt than buttons would be. So, adding to the hope that there are more 91s in the future. Snaps IMO are much more functional than buttons but sometimes you want a work shirt and not a western. I know that salability is just one factor in the calculus, but I think snap long- and short-sleeved work shirts in classic fabrics like denim, herringbone/prison stripe, wabash, hickory stripe, west point twill, swedish serge, and chambray would certainly sell.

Not mine, pet at a restaurant where we sat for lunch after our covid # 2 shots. She was super tame but got upset when I didn’t let her gnaw away on my glasses!

Does anyone size down on these compared to their UHF workshirt size? I'm an XL in the UHF workshirts but I'm thinking I should go for an L in this one.
