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

[Tigburk]

@jacoavlu:

no a flannel shirt is not suitable for near-zero temps. not by itself.
the iron heart ultra heavy flannel is like nothing else I've ever seen but it doesn't replace a winter coat

Appreciate it Jacoavlu thank you!

i love this shirt.  that is all.

Last 2 years I have passed on the heavy flannel because I have no money, and I always regret it.  I am sure I will this year as well unless I make a change.

is there any reason the western version of this shirt gets so much love compared to the IHSH-54? both great shirts but i think the one with side pockets has the edge!

Am i right in thinking that the the western version is cut a little longer than the side pocket version?

Personally I like both, so I bought both, but if I had to choose one I think it would be the 52. Not sure why really, I suppose I just prefer the snaps over the buttons. Both great shirts though imo.

hey thanks for that, how do the two shirts compare fit wise ? just looking at the numbers it looks like the 54 is a little slimmer/neater than the western?

No idea, I thought the side pocket version would sell quicker…....

Can't really compare I'm afraid, as the 52 is L and the 54 XL, so is obviously larger.

Yup!

i dont think it needs side pockets but please keep making a solid color heavy flannel every year.  this will be a definite purchase for me every year.  i also think i like this better than the normal button version because i already have the IHW01 so I have a wool version of the same shirt already.  Didn't need another.  I have two of the other heavy westerns and I love them.  This is my fav of the 3 that i have.

Riff, how long does the front of your shirt measure? (Shoulder to longest part.)

[riffblaster general]

sorry, just saw this. i'm not at home right now but i'll get that info for you later.

One of these beautiful black flannels arrived at my doorstep yesterday.  And the first day I had it on my back I had to break up a fight between two girls at work.  I'd say that the flannel was the victor.

[Giles]

Oh, they weren't fighting over you in your shirt?

Considering that they are teenagers with behavioral issues, I surely hope not
