IHSH-208-IND - Indigo Kersey Western Shirt

An Iron Heart original, made in Japan from Kersey fabric (a fabric originating from the English medieval times). A characteristic of the shirt is its thickness, soft and comfortable feel, as well as the twill texture and how it reacts with indigo leading to unique fading over time.

Medium and Large measurements are REALLY close… I expect XL's will go fast

Now I know what I'm doing tomorrow :).

Hey @Alex is this fabric stretchy or rigid? Looks to be stretchy like an IHSH-64.

[Alex]

Yeah, a little stretchy I would say. Definitely has some give

[Filthy2123ozjunkie]

Thanks.

[Max Power]

I still can't imagin how this fabric feels. It looks super dense, rigid and heavy.

Very intrigued buy this one, so a really dumb question, what makes this material different to corduroy?

[Wlemon]

This is what Giles said on the original post about this shirt. Hope it helps.

"Kersey is a kind of coarse woollen cloth that was an important component of the textile trade in Medieval England.

It derives its name from kersey yarn and ultimately from the village of Kersey, Suffolk, having presumably originated in that region. However, the cloth was made in many places. It was being woven as early as 1262 in Andover, Hampshire, where regulations prohibited the inclusion of Spanish wool in kerseys. [1] By 1475, the West Riding of Yorkshire including Calderdale was also a major producer, while Devon and Somerset were major producers and exporters until the manufacture later moved to serge making. Kersey was a lighter weight cloth than broadcloth. English kerseys were widely exported to central Europe[2] and other places: a surviving business letter[3] from the end of the 16th century recommends to trade kerseys for good wine on the Canary Islands.

Kersey yarns were spun in large gauges (thicknesses) from inferior carded wool, and made thick and sturdy cloth. Kersey was a warp-backed, twill-weave cloth woven on a four-treadle loom."

Thank you.
Guess I'll hopefully get to see for myself soon.

Alex, if this shirt does well do you think you will entertain another run of this material in a different color?

[Alex]

Quite possibly, yes.

That sounds like an awesome idea. I call dibs on a brown version.

[Dstauffer]

Brown, grey, green, red….so many options 

My thoughts are that this will do well given all the talk here...the fabric does look amazing!

[Wlemon]

Me, too. On the last post, I think Giles said only 40 were made for outside of Japan. I have a feeling they'll go quickly.
