IHSH-51 - Ultra Heavy Winter Flannel Westerns - 2011 Edition

[Omega Man]

Hey madmonday, if XL is your size, there is only 1 left in Black.  Of course,  G can always raid Haraki-san's inventory while in Japan and see if he can get more

thought it was the Grinch 

i'm good Omega, but thank you very much.

part of the fun is seeing if i can make up my mind or if my mind is made up for me.

Just added more black to stock.  I cocked up and ordered 51's and 54's in black for a retailer when he only wanted 54's.

Picked this up in XXL black.  Really excited.

That red is disgustingly bright, but I know I'll regret it if I don't pick it up.  Can't wait to see how heavy a heavy flannel is.

[stingray1381]

An ultra heavy flannel.

need!!!

Man, you guys hit a homerun with this one (baseball reference for you non-yanks or non-other baseball playing region :p).  Forget the light stuff and make them all this way.

I just got the black one in xxxl. Everything fit correct except the arms, but that was expected. It is heavier than most of my sweatshirts.  I live in New England (US), so this will come in very handy. I'll be using it primarily as a jacket/overshirt with my Barbour Quilted Down Gilet. I'm
now officially addicted. I also got the IHSH 41 in xxxl and it is probably the best shirt I have ever owned. Haraki-San and Giles, I'm officially addicted. Flannels of this quality do not exist in the USA (except IH at Selfedge). Again, amazing work.

PS I'm trying to get my cash together for a couple Smoky Flannel work shirts, I'm obsessed!

[Omega Man]

MikeC, the IHSH-51 is perfect for New England weather, it is indeed heavy.  The Smoky Flannels are light mind you and they fit differently since they are work shirts.  Enjoy the ride.

+1 and right the 41 is beauty as well, enjoy….

[MikeC]

Omega Man, could u explain how the fit on the work shirts is different than the western fit (besides weight)?  Thanks

Looser in the body

So I wore this thing to my Arabic class yesterday.  The instructor took one look at me, got a little smile on her face and asked the class how to say 'red shirt'

قميص أحمر for the record…

It's 40F and windy in western MA today. I'm wearing my black IHSH-51 and I was surprised that it is windproof to an extent. I still can't fully comprehend a 12oz flannel. I understand why everyone has full IH on in all their fit pics. Amazing!!!

The black is a beauty. Contemplating on pulling the trigger.

Love my new IHSH-51

It's red, thick and I've been wearing it as much as possible since it arrived two days ago; interestingly, I found that whilst my IHSH-38 fits me perfectly as an XL, it was the XXL in the 51 that gave the best fit.
