IHSH-52 - Ultra Heavy Flannel Western Shirts (Solid)

[7tacos]

I've been babying mine from last year and the year before but after buying one of Gile's old beater heavies that had a lot of wear and wash, I've decided to just wash whenever in cold water.  They look better well worn I think.  Shrinkage is minimal with cold wter and air dry.

I wouldn't mind washing it, as it's supposed to be stubborn and really durable. But I'd have to spill some serios stuff on it before I do so.

@riffblaster:

The fabric on these is very different from previous IH heavy flannels.

Haraki, he say, exactly the same construction as the IHSH-31 and 32.  I wonder if it is the fact that it is a solid colour that the fuzziness is noticeable….

Here's a pic of the fuzziness on mine, It's not bothering me as I don't think it's going to pill and only really shows in certain light conditions.

I think you may be right Giles, if it was patterned it would be less obvious, not that it's that obvious anyway imo.

Of fuzz or shirt in general?

[Finn666]

It's all about the fuzz D.

Here you go Finn, hopefully these show it a bit better.

[Finn666]

Thanks a lot D.
Don't know if I should love or hate it though…  / feck

thats strange.  to me it doesn't feel quite as thick or heavy as the 32.  not to say that it isn't great because it is.

Love mine, fuzziness and all.  Just wish it had pockets, but I love snaps more.

+1. The solid feels thinner.

washed my blue one at 60°C over the weekend and it comes out a tad smaller. good for me, now it fits me perfectly i think.
can't notice more fuzziness on these like on any other napped flannel.
