IHSH-34 Heavy Hairline Hickory Western Shirt

Well, indigo does not actually soak into the yarn in the dying process. Unlike other "dyes", it oxidises onto the surface. That is why in an indigo dying process the yarn is dipped multiple times and bought out of the indigo to oxidise inbetween dips. The number of dips (amongst other things) determines the thickness of the oxidisation. Indigo faes in high friction areas because the oxidisation is rubbed off. So in essence, all indigo is non permanent. Various post dying process can be applied to the fabric to increase the permanence of the coating, but it always eventually fade. I would supsect that the fabric the 07 and 34 have been made with have no post dying processing.

Finally, just ordered!!! Can't wait for it! Thanks G.

Looks like a solid fit…glad this is a restocked item...

Thanks all. Just as Dr Pat mentioned earlier in this thread, the IHSH-34 is a little bit biigger than the IHSH-07 in the length and arms. Not so big that I would size down, but almost. Sure whenever i give this thing a soak/ wash, it will constrict to the perfect size! might actually do that tonight… Oh and it will easily be one of the most worn shirts I own, no doubt!

namenes is the man! Well studied. Great forum member and otherwise decent fellow. Although his driving skills are to be debated… Especially from the trunk! Oh and just in case people were too lazy to follow the link, I am 6'2".

I've been wearing mine all day, I love this shirt! I go back and forth between a xxl and xxxl in IH shirts. For this shirt I went with a xxxl and am very happy. I'm like having a little extra room because it is such bullet proof material, but hey that's just me.

One more thing, I did just give it it's first soak/wash a few days back and it did shrink just ever so slightly. Fit is perfect now.

same here… i was just at SELA picking up a pair of 1634s I had hemmed and was dreaming about all of the shirts upstairs including this one
-
It will be restocked I believe but I am not sure about the time frame. I would go ahead and grab it up. Something tells me the Cordura will last a little longer.

Thanks Nameness and Lando. I couldn't resist but to order one XL. Shoulder measurement is good, as is the arm. Bodylength is littlebit longer than anything I have. And I'm a littlebit shorter than you Lando so let's see how it turns out. Maybe it's time to start weight lifting or something…
