Description

The Iron Heart IHSH-447-SAX Open Collar Short Sleeve Shirt is a lightweight, reinforced piece produced in a 5 oz. sanforized and rinsed Japanese Cotton Linen Plain Weave Chambray in Sax Blue, appropriate as a warm-weather style staple. Loomed in Japan, this plain-weave chambray is made from a Cotton and Linen blend that yields a breathable, durable fabric with a slight slub texture and luxurious drape. The archival soft-blue palette is achieved with an indigo rope-dyed warp and a light-blue reactive-dyed weft, designed to convey workshop class through fading and patina. Based on the Iron Heart Mechanics Shirt pattern, with back shoulder pleats for movement and a squared drape, this perfectly proportioned short-sleeve shirt features a vintage-inspired pointed camp collar with a loop closure and is made to be worn untucked, with a straight hem and split side seams. The Open Collar Shirt features numerous, carefully considered construction and design details that improve on the original 1950s shop shirts, like a chainstitched Iron Heart script logo, buttoned front chest pockets, and contrasting white stitching coordinated with white concave military-grade melamine buttons, creating a piece for the stylistically sound and self-reliant. Additionally, gold thread internal felled seams, chainstitched construction, and bartack reinforcements throughout give this piece all the necessary heritage provenance, and then some. The Sax Blue Open Collar Short Sleeve Shirt strikes a balance between classic and modern applications, making it a future heirloom, a seasonal go-to, and a substantial piece that will only improve with wear. Built for the biker and over-engineered from the start, the Iron Heart 447-SAX tests the limits of what can be artfully woven and sewn, delivering a lifetime of durability in a work-ready design.
