RESTOCK

[PangeaDestructor]

Anyone who currently owns this piece, is it breathable at all, how wearable is it in hotter weather? Trying to decide whether it's something that will get enough wear in southern California as a person that hates hot weather enough with just a tshirt. I generally have 6 months max each year for heavier fabrics top and bottom.

@PangeaDestructor personally, I'd say this serge shirt is the least breathable of my collection of 15 ish IH shirts. It's also my absolute favourite (specifically in this grey), but definitely not a shirt for the summer.

[flannel slut]

@PangeaDestructor do you own any chambray? You would get close to year round use with this fabric

[PangeaDestructor]

Thanks @T4920 and @flannel-slut. I do have chambray shirts, but not heavier-weight IH ones so I doubt those compare to this. It's a beauty, I'm probably going to say screw it and order one.

This is the way

One of the best. Saw a lovely faded olive one on rivet and hide. Got me thinking?

Hi there, can I ask how to remove scorch marks from a shirt? The marks came from a dirty iron. I’ve tried brushing with lemon as a trick, but the marks are still there. Not sure if this can help: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=remove+scorch+marks . Do you guys think this will be an issue for the overall look?

[AdamJ]

@ku0pa0 I think as you wear it and wash it as you go, it will reduce in how black it appears. I would try dabbing with a warm damp cloth but not too aggressively otherwise you may end up fading one little spot on the pocket!

[ku0pa0]

@AdamJ Thanks for your advice! I think I'll keep wearing it as is. Once it's time to wash it, I'll try your suggestions. I really love this shirt!

[RubyRae]

I always wondered what this GRY Military Serge would look like with the white snaps. I like the brass snaps on most IH heavy shirts as an alternative, but for some reason the black just don't resonate with me these days. Would love to see more snap options with this beloved brand. It's such a great detail that can transform any shirt into something new.

Trying to decide between this shirt and the Raised Whipcord Western in Olive for my first IH product. Does anyone have both that could provide a recommendation? Thanks in advance!

[goosehd]

@btschauw I think that question depends on what you are looking for. They are both great shirts with different textures, fading, and feel. Can you give us a little more info on what you like?

[btschauw]

@goosehd I will probably wear either shirt as an over shirt / shirt jacket unbuttoned with a t shirt or thermal underneath! I really like the versatility of the grey color but am also intrigued by the texture of the Raised Whipcord. I have heard the serge fabric is very stiff - does it eventually soften over time like a stiff pair of denim or does it stay pretty stiff?

[T4920]

@btschauw the Serge definitely softens up a little, but the Brushed Whipcord will be softer and more pliable on day 1 than the Serge will be after years of wear.

They're both very unique and distinct pieces, and will fulfill different needs in your wardrobe!

The Whipcord will drape better, which in my opinion is better suited to something a little oversized, and I personally think the stiff Serge looks better with a tighter fit.

It's all subjective though, I doubt you'll regret either!

(Don't own the Whipcord myself, but after seeing one in person at the party I instantly regretted not picking one up when I had the chance...)

[goosehd]

@btschauw Agree with Tom on all accounts and great comparison @T4920

[btschauw]

@T4920 thanks so much! This is great information! I’ll have to take a closer look at my wardrobe and see what makes more sense & will get the most wear. A UHF is always an option too for my first IH item, but I am still waiting for a color/pattern that I love.

[T4920]

@btschauw my first was the 18oz Indigo CPO, then the Hickory Western. It spiraled quickly out of control from there...

Up until this weekend, the Serge Western was my favourite of them all, but the new Sashiko Workshirt has taken the crown now!
