IHSH-185 - Indigo Rip Stop Single Yoke Western Shirt

[UnTucked]

I think it makes SO MUCH sense as a "workshirt"…

Guys working get tears and holes, and this fabric was designed specifically for that kind of work. You get a hole, and it doesn't grow, even with washing.

*For reference, all US military utility uniforms are made from rip-stop fabric. A pinhole will always remain a pinhole. A tear barely grows, even with repeated wear and washings

Unknown number of washes….

From the white lines it looks like it was put on the spin cycle  ???.  The denim gods will strike you down  :D.

I bunged it in the washer first ever wash without thinking…..

@Giles - would you say this is a bit more comfortable in warmer climates than even a IHSH-13 ?

Thinking this or the Khaki CPO would be great for spring

This one. 100%.  I wore it in Fiji all the time…..I would not have dreamt of taking an IHSH-13 with me.

Good deal.

Now to email @Adam to check out snap options

How is this shirt in warm weather compared to say an IHSH-133 or the new 212?

[Appfaff]

If say it’s easier to wear than the 212. I have both and the ripstop has been my go to in the summer

I wear mine in the tropics no problem.  I'd say slightly warmer than both the IHSH-133 and the IHSH-212

[Bill C]

thanks both!

I still regret not picking this shirt up…the ones that got away.

Paging joesaintjohn
This one is in the Outlet at a decent price!
I think pimpin is an option to consider.

Got this shirt from the outlet- turns out it’s one of my favorite and best fitting shirts, pimped with MoP snaps. 54 wear days, three hand washes. Fading all over to a delicate blue with some white highlights in high traffic areas.

Out there doing some trail work.

Aww snap!

[Giles]

That was another that I could not believe sold better than it did…

[Cutlasshound]

I always wanted this one. Absolutely beautiful shirt. Was gutted to miss out!

I need to take some better photos of the shirt as a whole. I’ve worn mine enough that the left elbow was running thin- hadn’t worn it in a bit but finally had the time to do a sashiko style patch. This was my first try at the technique and I suppose not entirely ‘correct’ (mostly single stitches vs running stitch). No real planned design to start either, but easy to do something geometric with the fabric essentially having a grid on it.
It ended up looking vaguely mountainy, which certainty works for me. 135 wear days and a number of washes. My favorite shirt!
