[Tago Mago]

@ARNC only one way to find out

The chances of me getting just one beer are about as good as me getting just one shirt.

I will be there to "help" again....

[Tago Mago]

@Giles you’ll have plenty of help

[Matt]

There will be beer, shirts and spousal shenanigans. I bring the full experience.

[ARNC]

@Matt I wouldn’t expect anything less!

Has there ever been discussion of a Wabash Type III? Feel like that'd be a hit, especially in Indigo!

The usual 12oz fabric, suitable for year round wear.

[Giles]

Yes. We tried.....

[T4920]

@Giles issues with fabric availability, or something else?

I’m gutted I somehow missed the 5oz dobby western.

There are still some of the 5oz dobbys westerns available out in the wild.

I ordered one from Snake Oil the other day that should be arriving tomorrow and they had at least a few sizes in still in stock.

[DeeDee85]

@whacim thank you very much for the heads up! I came close to ordering one from withered fig a while ago but thought about it for too long and it sold

@Alex Understandable. Thank you for the response! That's enough of a glimmer of hope for me!

Not fabric. Just a hard no....

Work shirts in the Iron Heart Kersey!

I'm going to assume it has been considered or sampled and there was some issue or objection, because otherwise, why for the love of all that is heavy, comfy and drapes perfectly, would we not have them?

[neph93]

@Giles @T4920 I've thought this thought a long time ago and the immediate issue that sprang to mind is the lines. The wabash pattern is applied as a treatment to the fabric, not the finished garment, so the complicated structure and chevrons of the type III would not lend itself to the glory of wabash. The more I think about it, the more my head hurts.

[T4920]

@neph93 you mean in terms of lining everything up for a clean finish? I can totally see how that would be an issue with a T3 actually..

[Giles]

Yeah, me too. But I think we tried for. TII, and got the same response. @Alex ?

[neph93]

@T4920 exactly that. It would be impossible. And all the thick seams on a type III would only make the issue worse. It would be a crazy, dotty, mess.

Assume you already have the 288?

[EdH]

Here's a suggestion:

Take the IHSW-11, remove the front pocket and make them internal, side, hand-warmer pockets with a zipper. And, for bonus points, add a single chest pocket, like on the IHJ-100, but also internal, again, with a zipper.

I think by removing the hoodie style front pocket it'd look really clean and could go over a shirt for office wear.
