IHSH-365-IND - 8oz Herringbone Hickory Stripe Sawtooth Western Shirt - Indigo

We've seen the hickory stripe many times in the past in a heavier, more denim-weight fabric. Well, this round they've taken the cloth originally meant to hide oil stains and woven it on a dobby loom with an easy-to-wear 8oz yarn. They've done some pretty unique dyeing on this one to ensure that it fades to perfection. You'll notice the interior is a bit darker and is done using a reactive dye to keep its color. But the exterior is made by rope dyeing the fabric 7 times which should lead to incredible and quick aging. The elephant in the room is the new silhouette. We've pretty much seen two silhouettes during our tenure with the brand, but 2023 has seen them broadening their horizons - and we can't get enough of this new shirt. It's a classic sawtooth style that gives us plunging W-shaped pockets and V-shaped Yokes. The Permex snaps top this thing off for its introduction and hopefully permanent addition to Iron Heart's lineup.

Fit Notes: Tommy is wearing a large in these pictures. He's typically a North American medium and a large in almost all shirts from Iron Heart. So we would say this one fits pretty spot on. If you're new to the world of Japanese wares, we always recommend sizing up once...but your best bet is comparing measurements to your favorite fitting garment. Their Westerns run about a half size smaller than the Work Shirts. Tommy is 5'10," 175lbs with a 40" chest.
