        @RobeOfTheMagi I had something similar happen to my 235-BLK.

        Now I just throw it in the wash with zero care every couple of wears, and it's taken on such a unique character of its own as a result!

        Try not to think of it as messed up, it's all a matter of perspective ✌

              I'm curious, and unsure exactly how to phrase this question, but can anybody explain the differences in weaving methods that lead to the patterns on IH flannels to be visible on the inside and outside of the fabric, but not so on a flannel such as this one by Visvim?

              I assume it's akin to the idea of warp/weft yarns in denim twill, but confused as to why more of the white doesn't show through on the outer face of the fabric.

                I reckon that Visvim flannel is a double weave....I think it is a twill on the face and a plain weave on the reverse.

                  @Giles as in, two layers of fabric sewn together, or like the 10oz Sawtooth one IH dropped last season?

                    Thanks Giles, that edit answered my question!

                    I was hoping you'd be the one to answer 😆

                      Like this but sort of in reverse...

                        @Giles any experience with Visvim?
                        Eyed this on eBay, and thought it looked nice.
                        Based on the price point I'd assume it to be top quality, but you can never be sure...

                          @T4920 @Alex is a big Visvim fan, he may be able to weigh in better.

                            I wouldn't say I was a big fan, I don't own any and never have. I do respect some of what they have done, absolutely. Their quality is good, but you are also paying for more of a high street brand's brand name with Visvim more than you are with the likes of PBJ/Fullcount/Samurai/IH etc

                              @Alex I could have swore you had listed Visvim as one of your favorite non-IH brands.

                              I've been unjustly judging you in my head for a long time now...
