Description

The Iron Heart IHSH-07-IND Western is a heavyweight, reinforced piece from once-washed 12 oz. Japanese Indigo Hickory Stripe Twill that's appropriate for year-round use, and made to evolve with the wearer. This dutiful fabric, inspired by railroad garments, has been enhanced with a woven hickory stripe, produced on a dimensional dobby loom in a twill weave with a sulfur-dyed indigo warp and white weft. When worn hard as intended, this shirt promises to convey workshop class through its fading and patina potential. Designed with the signature Iron Heart Western pattern of a slim fit, based on the 1926 original, this shirt is perfectly proportioned in length to be worn untucked for modern, vintage-styled grit. The Western has numerous carefully considered construction and design details, such as the triple-stitched curved shoulder and back yoke panels, paired with Iron Heart pearl Permex snaps on the dual flap front chest pockets, placket, and cuffs, creating a piece for the stylistically sound and self-reliant. Moreover, red bartacks on the pockets, internal felled seams, and interior orange thread chainstitched construction provide this piece with all the necessary heritage provenance and then some. As one of Iron Heart's original shirting pieces, the Indigo Hickory Stripe Western strikes a balance between classic and modern applications, making it a future heirloom, a year-round go-to, and a new project piece that will only improve with wear. Built for the biker and over-engineered to start, the Iron Heart 07-IND tests the limits of what can be artfully woven and sewn, delivering a lifetime of durability in a road-to-street-ready design.
