IHSH-361-BLK - 16oz Non-Selvedge Denim Western Shirt - Superblack (Fades To Grey)

@bluemantra it's kinda apples to oranges. Remove the wind factor and I guess they're about the same? The UHF has that soft coziness and IMO this SBG is better as an outer layer. The 16oz is super dense and rigid and stops wind well. Our temps have been in the 40's and 50's (F) when the sun's down and I've been wearing both and still been toasty. I have the CPO but imagine the western works slightly better as a shirt and would be fine with a tee on a cool day, same as a UHF. I'd if that helps lol
-
I agree that the 361 is quite wind resistant, but as a insulation layer I would always pick the UHF.
-
@Oaktavia It's looking good bud! Getting that that light suedey fuzz to it and those cuffs are wearing nicely. :the_horns:
-
@WhiskeySandwich hell yeah dude. I have been wearing it to sleep lately and whenever I don't wear the 396. It's definitely a fast evo piece which makes it a great one to fade on the side of a main shirt.
-
@Oaktavia Heck yea, it does fade quick. But man I've slept in mine only a handful of times, only because I was freezing in a tent, but it wasn't very comfortable lol.
That 396 deserves the attention, and this 361 is definitely coming along! I was thinking the new double-cloth might be a good side piece overshirt. When I can afford that, it might replace the 362 for a couple days of the week, but we'll see. I kinda like the SBG being part of my daily 'uniform'.
-
@WhiskeySandwich I'd love to see you beat up that double cloth in the same way as you did your SBG...
-
@T4920 might be able to make that happen
-
I was so back and forth about picking this beast up.
I’m so happy I did. Been wearing it almost every day for a week now and it just feels amazing. Stiff like hell but slowly starts to mould to your body. Some fading already going on too. No soak or wash yet.
-
Mine was fading to white in some high friction areas this fall. Now that I’ve started wearing my lefty trucker jacket the shirt is absorbing indigo!
-
@Salted-Racer now that is pretty cool.
-
Thanks! @Oaktavia this is the only place where people like those kinds of details: ). It’s a beast of a shirt.

Back in black
Quick shot before work -
@Heavy_blue looking great! I would love to be able to wear my denim tops to work too. But at work I can only fade my jeans
-
@FlavourFade thanks brother
-
@Heavy_blue dig the looser fit on yours, same as mine. The honeycombs/accordion creases will be fade monsters. They are extra wide instead of form fitting, which I think will lead to an awesome evo. It's like the difference between how combs look on 555 compared to 634. Both are awesome but I prefer the look of the former. Just my two cents.
-
@Oaktavia thanks my man! Will go hardcore on this one.. gonna wear and wait as long as possible to soak or wash! Also like the option to layer, let’s see how far we can push this one
-
I for one have embraced the marble and now washed the shirt for a second time (soak, inside-out, short, no spin, 30C). From now on I will wash this frequently with zero odor tolerance
