IHSH-397-IND - 21oz Sashiko Work Shirt - Indigo

[meatmarketdenim1]

Tried one on at self edge today. It’s really amazing, and not as heavy as imagined. I practiced great restraint and decided to hold off, or atleast for a bit lol.

Will they be releasing a western version or CPO possibly? I tend to size up and have more control of the shrinkage if necessary. These day I find myself liking a slightly looser fit. This shirt really nails it with the details and red stitching. Looking forward to see everyone's fades. My sashiko is definitely starting to change, but it had a richer indigo from the start.

@meatmarketdenim1 looks great! Did you hear anything about self edge stocking this? Nothing on their website yet. I’m in Austin where they’ve had a store for a few months now.

[meatmarketdenim1]

@denimdad This was at the SF location they said jus got them in yesterday. I think self edge may hold off a few before the release certain items online. Imagine if called or stopped by the Austin location tomororw of this week , they’ll be in stock.

@RubyRae They're really intent on not running the same fabric in western and work. As.for CPO I'm not sure. I bet the fabric really lends itself to a makeup like that.

@T4920 really beautiful my friend, it looks great on you , I just hope there are some size S left

[denimdad]

@meatmarketdenim1 Thanks man! And now I see earlier in the thread of course they list the stockists.

How warm was it? Would you compare to a UHF?

[meatmarketdenim1]

@denimdad
I don’t own a UHF yet, but have tried them on in store, so unfortunately cant give solid/well informed answer. Imagine a UHF will be on my Xmas list this year, have to see what Santa brings lol. Have stacks of vintage Pendletons to layer rn. I only had the 397 on for few mins, but it was really comfortable, solid and could tell would be super warm. An XL jus happened to be on the rack and fit me perfectly, for reference im 6”2 160lbs. It’s kinda been living in my head since I tried it on, so I may have to see if any still available after next payday. I would have to go back in and make sure fit under my 526-142. Lmk if you pick one up?

For those that have had the opportunity to try it on… true to your IH shirt size? Or go one down? Thank you!

[tody]

The tendency at the party this weekend was to size up. I would have needed 3XL instead of my usual 2XL.

Hello.
Is the Sashiko Thread reactive dyed or will it fade as well ?
Thank you.

@Germinal It was fading on the hanger just by looking at it It‘ll age beautifully.

[hbg1]

@Buckeye similar to @tody , I also sized up to XL instead of my typical L

[weftyarn]

Im a small XXL or big XL usually and went for XXL here. I don’t remember anyone I spoke to sizing down. TTS or size up, always go by the measurement tables

[weftyarn]

Cozy but not comparable with UHF I would say. Has less of that sweater-like feel of a UHF on the inside. More stiff, somehow like a hybrid between duck canvas and a slubby jeans fabric if that makes sense Will break in beautifully and become soft I think. Breathes quite good for me as well.

Really enjoying it already!

[Germinal]

@tody but is it like the 380 where the Sashiko stitching is reactive dyed so with fading the pattern appears ?

[Denimminer]

Why are you guys sizing up? The stiffness or tendency to shrink,maybe??? A Large measurements in this are the same or larger than UHFs I have.

[T4920]

I took my usual size L. Found it slim/fitted but not restrictive, although the chest is a little tighter than my other Large work shirts...
