IHSH-35 in Black Sulphur Dyed Herringbone Work Shirt - Anyone Interested

[pillowPANTS]

Aluminum buttons are def cool and will prob look nice. But i just dont think they will "pop" on this like they do on the 95 or 75.

@Giles:

I thought about black, but the ali get so much love…..

Do love the aluminum…

Have you guys thought about trying some treated (anodized, painted, powder coated, etc) metal buttons?  Could be interesting...

[Giles]

Yes, I looked at some when I was last in Kojima.  I'll ask H to get some samples for me to look at in May….

[Finn666]

i'd do the alu buttons for sure…hitting them with some paint (black?) so the buttons evolve along with the shirt over time would be a nice touch though. (thanks for the idea btw. mickey!)...

[Giles]

I can do that, I discussed with H last time I was there, It'll add about USD10 per shirt to do that…....

[Finn666]

USD10? as if that would stops the mob from buying it :D…

[Giles]

My view too…...Though I would prefer "our revered customers" to mob.....

[Finn666]

^ only sometimes though!

[Giles]

…..and never when referring to you.......

[Finn666]

i can live with that G-San…pretty good actually!

Seems totally reasonable to me…

and already looking forward to whatever else H-San comes up with in terms of buttons...

[mclaincausey]

How about black anodized or powder coated aluminum?

Black herringbone is the way to go for pants rather than the shirt.Maybe even black and gray. I have the 35 and can't imagine black being better than the indigo. And you were/are right, it is a killer shirt…one of the best-looking, along with the ombre flannels, when actually worn and moving around vs. looking at you from the hanger. Makes me want jeans in black herringbone.

[Giles]

Well, we are doing pants in it anyway…....albeit, double legged Loggers.  And I can't see me selling >100 pairs of a single legged jean done in it I am afraid....

[apba1166]

I agree. I like them (I have a pair of the stronghold herringbone jeans, only ones I've really seen), but 100 is a lot. But maybe the IH-816 would be good in it. Especially if you limit the contrast and make it black and gray or something that resolves as charcoal to the eye…I always thought that great herringbone on the shirt might seem like quite a lot of optics for a double-front pant.

Well worth it for something a little different.

I've really liked the TW herringbone. I'd be in for the black version. Aluminum buttons would be my preference & two cents.

[Aetas]

Like my TWSH-02. I´m interested in a shirt size L or XL. Definitly the alu buttons.

[natehate]

i vote the 76 buttons

^ I'd have to agree.  Copper snaps on black looks gooood.
