IHSH-79 - Slubby Blue Mid-weight Chambray Workshirt

[madmonday]

hmmm, will think about it a little more before giving my limited take.

f^ck it why think .  . .  historically these sorts of items have the slow & steady thing going for them.  with IH expanding as it is it would be great to have a staple workshirt (sort of the way the 07 & 33 comes back every couple of months for the western set), but i can't really call it until i test drive the shirt.

@Sugar:

Have you taken a look at the mock-twist chambrays in the Western cut? I have the 66 and very much recommend it for warmer weather.

Seconded.  I'm wearing the 65, right now.  It's one of my favorite shirts.  Still scooping a 79, though.

^^ true…doh!

I already looked into the green 66 more than once tbh. but still trying to grab the different 46's if anyhow possible...so let's wait and see how things go! it's not on the top of my list to do things though atm.

My views exactly

[Anesthetist]

Gonna age so nice…..

[natehate]

extant it g, its a killer shirt with killer materials
has classic written all over it
and i wanna pick it up but the truck needs new tires

[crankyfart]

have read through but still can't figure out. so what's the conclusion? is this gonna be "extant"? cos G mentioned he was discussing with H about it.

budget doesn't really allow a purchase at the moment.

[Giles]

No firm decision yet…..

I'd like to see a staple Cambrey workshirt in the IH lineup, but personally would like to see a heavier weight selvedge version - IHSH-21?

My opinion is that Iron Heart should have an extant, staple workshirt, and classic blue chambray fits the bill.  If you're only going to have one, I'd advocate for a midweight one, simply because that would be more versatile.  Heavyweight shirts are too warm for a lot of climates and would, I think, restrict sales.  That said, I would consider it more ideal to have Triple Works do a lightweight chambray as a staple item and Iron Heart do a heavyweight one as a staple.  Best of both worlds and possibly a way to draw folks toward the TW brand.

But you know what they say about opinions…

They are always appreciated..

[Finn666]

so any news about this staying "extant" or getting marked "endangered" ?…

would love to know if i need to jump on this one now, or if i have a few more days/weeks to get it and get some other things first!...

[Giles]

No news yet. Don't hold your breath, I need to decide whether to extant this or extant something that I have not even dreamed up yet.  Haraki could be swayed, but I have other ideas brewing….

[Finn666]

^ thanks for the quick reply G. …i really wonder how those "other ideas" look like!

[Giles]

Me too…...

[gbougard]

Btw, whats the weight of the fabric used for this wicked looking shirt?

[Finn666]

@Giles:

I'm guessing this is about 5 or 6oz

[madmonday]

better image when time permits.  it's a nice shirt, although I am concerned with the lighter direction the Boss seems to be taking with his most recent drops . . .

[Jesselirola]

Looks good madman.

I'm actually happy about the lightness, it's come at a perfect time for summer. Maybe I just didn't have enough light shirts.

Looking forward to this one showing up.

Cheers

We have been spoiled.  Can always wait for Fall/Winter stuff.
