IHSH-337-OD - Ultra Heavy Flannel Tartan Check Western Shirt - Green Overdyed Black
-
Do these become more vibrant with wear -
As the overdye fades? Or do they stay pretty black? -
Okay bit the bullet and got one of the last ones from the outlet.
Sleeve length is great - means I can wear it and still do tasks without the cuff getting in the way. Tighter in the pits than the Military serge western I bought in the same size, despite the actual Pit to Pit measurement being wider. I guess this is to do with the armpits being up a little higher? Will it stretch a little with time?It's pretty rough to the touch - not that luxurious feel I associate with the UHF (have only owned one before second hand). Is it worth a soak to remove some of the excess dye? Has a kind of chalky feel. If I do the soak, would wearing it damp help stretch to fit a little - like you can with denim?
Also the dyeing process has really thrashed the snaps - they are super dry/corroded and harder to snap on/off than usual. Should I give them a clean with something? The look is no problem, I just don't want them to fail.
Keen to see how this one evolves.
