@dinobarnesberlin:

Really like the way the 68 fades out after time.
Yours is looking great @Oaktavia

Ive mostly been wearing my chambray this summer, buts its slowly starting to cool down enough to break out the Wabash soon.

Thanks, it's definitely one of my favorite fabrics… don't think I will be buying anything other than IH from now on...

But I have only been wearing it on cooler evenings. Definitely need some more ss chambray in my life.

I think you nailed it–I haven't even considered looking at anything else besides IH for the last year and half!
Its like once you get used to the construction and quality of their stuff, its hard to go back to anything else.

Don’t suppose there’s a restock due on this is there crew?

[Alex]

No, this is getting phased out in place of the IHSH-266 as we no longer can get hold of the metal cats eye buttons and don't like the four hole ones

[LewisStonehouse]

@Alex cheers and fair nuff, when’s the 266 restocking in that case…

[Oaktavia]

IMO the black buttons look better…I replaced my aluminum ones with vintage buttons from our pal @Filthy

[LewisStonehouse]

@Oaktavia yeah man I tend to agree actually, just want a 12oz indigo wabby work shirt

Indigo/Indigo 7oz woven in Pinstripe on the right, and the beautiful 12oz Indigo Wabash on the left side.

@Aetas the woven pinstripe is one of my favorites and one of the few westerns I have
It's so subtle as to be unnoticeable and  my wife, an accomplished sewer herself, remarked on the cloth and the build quality I remember thinking I've never seen material like this, who does this kind of work?

Thanks @steelworker @Oaktavia

[Oaktavia]

You're welcome but I'm not sure what I said.

@Oaktavia:

This Wabash 12oz is still a mystery…
Love this fabric a lot!

One thing that I am not sure I have articulated well enough, is that our Wabash is like no one else's.  It was me who asked Haraki to make a Wabash (probably a good 12 years ago), when I did so, I said let's make the most amazing Wabash in the world.  So Haraki did.

The weft and the warp are both individually rope dyed and then woven into the twill fabric.  No one else (that we know of anyway) does that, they typically dye the fabric after weaving.  It costs a lot more to make it the way we do, but the end result is an immeasurably better fabric (in our opinion), and something Haraki is immeasurably proud of….

I couldn't resist sharing this bit in my Instagram along with these photos of mine.
