IHC-10, IHC-11, & IHC-12 - Work Cap Series

[Aetas]

Great IHC @hajduk
Guess now it’s time for @Oaktavia to tell a new story in here …

@Oaktavia said in Heroes (Buying/ Selling/Trading):

@hajduk is good people. You rock, my friend! Thank you Pierre!!!

[Oaktavia]

@Aetas thanks! I will start posting here. I am getting a couple of tattoos on my head today so I won't be able to wear it for a week or so. Any other Work Caps out there in the wild?

[Oaktavia]

Are these 12oz hickory?

@Oaktavia (Edit)
IH had a few with different appearance and weight:
*9.5oz (IHSH-123))
*10.5oz (708)
*12oz (IHSH-91, …):

or
*17oz (IHG-059, 822, …)

But for me, timeline and pictures speak for the
12oz of the IHSH-148, because the indigo stripe is a tad wider than the white one here:

Cap for comparison:

@Giles ?

[Oaktavia]

@Aetas awesome detective work. Man I would love some 17oz hickory, or an even heavier version. I think you are correct though, 12oz seems to be the one for the cap.

@Oaktavia
The cap is 12oz i think.
I own the IH-802. Hickory logger pants. 17oz.
Definitely heavier hickory fabric than the one used for this cap.

It’s my the 91 12oz—that is a distinctly different pattern. It’s like the 107 I think.

@sabergirl
Think you nailed it. Edited my above post.

I don’t know, @Aetas the 148 came out with a new 12oz (from the forum thread) in 2016. These caps got made in 2012. I still think it’s a batch of 07 fabric. I love your spirit of sleuthing! ️‍️

[Oaktavia]

Neat to know past hickory has some wider white stripes compared to wider indigo ones like on this cap. I prefer more indigo, glad it was made with the wider indigo stripes.

I just need to wait for my head and forehead tattoos to heal and I'll be wearing it on the daily!
