Denim Shirts

X post from Why no denim shirt topic

Would be nice to see wh

I do not own many denim shirts, but the few I own I cherish and use as often as possible.

The one I have used the most has to be my Nudie Gunnar in dry organic denim.

Fabric: 100% cotton organic denim from Turkey

Weight: 11.5 oz

I shortened the length of the shirt a fair bit.

I love this shirt a lot and it only gets better over time.

I will try to take some more pictures of some of my other shirts that I love, use and abuse and post them here.

Please feel free to do the same

Anyhow, here are some photos of the Nudie shirt:

(They have been posted before in the Nudie thread. I hope you do not mind)

^ Nizzel, another super cool shirt - thanks for demonstrating that 1 denim shirt in your wardrobe does not need to be 'enough' (or '1 too many' as my wife says).

[Chubacca]

Nizzel, sick shirts! Keep up the amazing job!

[Broark]

I'm planning on wearing my denim shirts so much more this fall.

I have a Mister Freedom Appaloosa which I love, and I just ordered one of the new Iron Heart indigo/indigo denim work shirts.

Nizzle killing it as always.

[dwilson123]

Nizzel that Nudie shirt is absolutely sick,  Nudie was my first real raw brand so they always hold a special place for me.  Sorry if this was discussed prior but did you seam rip out the back weft?  It seems apparent from the interior but not the exterior.

[nizzel55]

Thanks for all the comments

 

What seam are you referring to dwilson123?

 

 

Broark I am also contemplating buying that IH indigo indigo work shirt.

I am also on the fence of buying the TCB shirt.

 

 

To bad that shirts takes quite a while to fade as I am rotating them alot more then I do my jeans.

 

Holio cornolio. My wife has also questioned my shirt collection from time to time (not that I own many shirts) 

When I bought the 76 pictured above she said. "that shirts looks exactly like one or two shirts you got already".

It did not look the same at all. according to me.

I think he means the Nudie Swong. I's only on the inside on all Nudie Shirts.

[dwilson123]

Yeah sorry if it wasn't clear I was referring to the Nudie wave on the interior but not the exterior.  It looks like it may be on a separate panel that is sewed into the shirt.

You should get the IH Indigo/Indigo shirt, it looks outstanding.

That's funny. I have a couple of Chambrays and a denim shirt, and even they are all very different, my whole family thinks they are the same shirt!

edit - not sure if this is the place, but can anyone point me in the direction of an indigo or navy blue canvas / duck shirt??

I picked up a Gustin workshirt in one of their herringbone fabrics later year, and I have to say it's really fantastic. Far better than I ever expected from them. I don't own anything else from them so I can't compare to their other items directly, but the workshirts seem to be done on a different level. If it's to believed that these are made by a Japanese factory that makes shirts for other brands, these are on par re: construction, details, seams, etc. w/ the IH shirts I have. 

 

May not be everyone's cup-o-tea, but I think for the price they are great and I plan on getting another at some point in the future. Not really interested in anything else from them. 

[bradl]

Mpukas post some pictures comparing please. Would like to see the compairison shots, I might consider it then.

That's actually Self-Edge's new model. People complained that the beard guy was too scary.

Nice mate!

 

Will post pics of my Flat Head wabash, Indigofera hickory stripe and black Iron Heart ones as soon as I get the chance.

[Chubacca]

Bobbo, how to you like your wabash shirt? Do you get a lot of wears in it?

[Bobbo]

I love it! Since I previously only had denim jackets to wear during summer/early autumn it havn't gotten as much wear as I would've liked but that will probably change now I've got my duck chorecoat. Now I can wear it whenever I want without having a three layered dark denim tux.

A chore coat must be nice with the FH wabash; I almost can't fit mine into my jackets.

@bradl - here ya' go. Sorry for the delay, haven't been around here much lately... 

 

This is the Gustin Worskhirt in American herringbone. Non-selvedge. Size L Slim. Compared to my Iron Heart IHSH-33 Black Denim Western shirt. 

 

 

 

Single button cuff; no gauntlet button (or whatever it's called...) 

 

triple needle seams with obligatory chain stitch run-off

 

 

All major seams are triple needle stitched. Very neatly done.

Fit pics; 

 

Gustin American Herringbone Workshirt, size L Slim. When I got this shirt I was a bit slimmer; since then I've put on some weight and mass, and I think the regular fit would be better for me, at least across the shoulders and chest. I'ts pretty tight now, and a bit constricting. 

 

 

Iron Heart IHSH-33 Black Denim Western shirt size XL. This is my DWC-Tux shirt. 

 

Iron Heart IHSH-92 size XL. This shirt runs smaller than the IHSH-33 and is very tight across the chest. I also have the blue one, and it fits exactly the same. 

 

The Gustin Workshirt is slightly tighter in the chest and shoulders than the IHSH-33 and just slightly larger than the IHSH-92. The Gustin is slightly longer than both in the body. Sleeve length is similar. The neck on all of these shirts is way too small for me to even button/snap. Sizing shirts is even harder for me than sizing jeans - I need a (typical American) XL in the neck, shoulders and chest, but a (typical American) L in sleeve and body lengths. 

 

Overall, I think the Gustin Workshirt is very good. I'd buy another, but I get a size L Regular, and look for a selvedge fabric. I have no complaints about this herringbone not being selvedge. it's great - herringbone is probably my favorite fabric pattern.

I also have a Gustin WS (2, actually).  I was shopping at Blue in Green while wearing it and the girl complimented me on the quality and asked me where I got it.  They are pretty nice shirts.  I would not say they are on IH level, but they are very good. 

[itsbenhere]

Eh, that triple needle inside part looks pretty wonky to me. Still not bad at all for the price of the shirt though.

[bradl]

Yeah, a wee bit shaky. But for what it's worth I'd say it's a pretty Damn good deal. Thanks for the post mpukas

[mpukas]

The only discernible difference in the stitching is the thread itself; perhaps Gustin uses an all cotton thread, and it's starting to get a little fuzzy. IH may use a poly-cotton thread that is more durable. IH triple needle stitching also uses two colors - two yellow and one brown, whereas Gustin uses three white. Gustin is also a lighter gauge and higher STI than the IH. Otherwise, it's not wonky or shaky at all. 

 

I'm not trying to defend Gustin, and I'm certainly no IH fanboi - I'm no fanboi of any brand. If anything, I've found a few stitching wonks on my IHSH-33, and none on the Gustin. I can see where it may appear that way in the pics, but it's all dead straight and even. Also take into account that fabric shrunk when washed, and that will have an effect on the appearance of the stitching.
