IHSH-352-BLU - 10oz Selvedge Denim Western Shirt - Indigo Overdyed Blue
-
@FlavourFade thank you! I tend to run hot most of the time too unfortunately.. through the summer months I’ve only really managed to wear this 352 and my madras shirt. Back in the 17oz duck and kersey now though
-
@FlavourFade and good call, a 10oz denim shirt woven under high tension like the 16oz would be awesome wouldn’t it!
-
@Mindfulbiscuit seems like there’s only you and I plugging away at this one, yours looks fantastic by the way!
-
-
@Mindfulbiscuit I’m gonna to give this a break and move on with the sashiko for 6 months and see how that goes
-
@DeeDee85 @Mindfulbiscuit I’ve got mine waiting in the wings, but you guys are inspiring me to get going on it, but maybe next spring/summer now.
-
@Mister_Brue I’m sure you’ll exceed us,’no pressure
-
@DeeDee85 it's funny how on some days in the summer even the 10oz chambray is too much while now I am living in xhs and uhf's
-
@FlavourFade I know.. I’m yet to try the XHS, I’ve been worried with being hot blooded that they won’t work for me. Saying that though, I was so happy after recently switching from 14oz to 21oz SBG when the temps dropped. So unbelievably soft and cosy
maybe I could do the XHS in the coldest of the winter months? -
@DeeDee85 tbh I can do heavy bottoms way better than tops... Have been wearing 21oz whole summer with only a couple days swapping to my ducks. But will try some 14oz maybe next summer.
I think 25oz is great even when its not freezing because they get very soft and breathable. Maybe not like 21oz but still comfy for me
-
@DeeDee85 I'm very much hot blooded as well. (UHFs for instance are just too warm for me for regular use, even in winter in Norway). But like @FlavourFade it's only really an issue for tops in my case.
And if you haven't tried XHS, you really should! Most fun and enjoyable piece of clothing/fabric I've ever come across. The ultimate denim in my opinion, and something that just makes daily life a little bit better

-
@JunkPants @FlavourFade thank you both very much for the info.. may have to give the XHS a go then when the next re-stock comes around
-
@Mindfulbiscuit Typically I don't, but I may, depending on the specific measurements. So like any other pair really. You have to account for a little bit of shrinkage, but it's so well documented here (and I've had enough experience by now), that I find it pretty easy to work out the right size.
-
@DeeDee85 You really should try a pair!
The list of great IH items is long, and opinions will vary, but if I were forced to pick a single favourite piece, without a shadow of doubt, it would be XHS jeans.
-
@JunkPants I’ve read that exact sentence quite a few times now from different forum users.. I’ll let you know if my funds permit at the time of the next re-stock
-
@DeeDee85 Before long you'll be writing it yourself!
-
@JunkPants right makes sense nice one
