The western-style pocketed CPO shirt, cut from a characterful 13.5oz dobby loom-woven cloth.
Dobby weaving is a traditional technique dating back to the mid-1800s. By attaching a piece of equipment known as a “dobby” to the loom, the yarns can be manipulated during the weave to create a thicker, heavily textured fabric. This particular cloth is woven with 100% Mexican cotton — a first for Iron Heart. These long fibre yarns produce a thicker cotton, which in turn adds significant heft to the weave. So while this dobby cloth weighs in at 13.5oz, it could easily be mistaken for something much heavier!
Since the yarns are indigo-dyed, and the fabric’s rugged surface exposes more edges than a twill or plain weave, you can expect beautiful high-contrast fading to emphasise the intricate geometric texture. Heavyweight yet breathable, this model is an ideal shirt/jacket hybrid for the warmer months — finished with heavy-duty black snap fastenings, tonal stitching, and red internal bobbin thread for a touch of flair.
