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

[Omega Man]

More pics from you on this shirt in this thread pls.

i have been wearing them every week so it should be pretty easy to do.  oh & the cut of this shirt makes you look so good.  alot of folks swear by the cut of the 20, i think this is cut better.  maybe just the material makes the shirt drape a certain way, but this shirt is really the sh!t.

will see if i have any images in my photobuckect this evening

This is, by far, my favourite IH shirt, worn almost daily since I bought it last year.

great looks tmg!

The cut of my 52 fits me slightly better than my 20 or 32.  I was also thinking it might be the fabric drape.  I've not  measured them carefully to compare or anything.

I've always been hesitant in buying a red shirt but this IHSH-51 in Red looks damn good.  Anyone else feel the same way as I but said fuck it I'm going for it?  And how did it turn out?

[J-IV]

JC; When I first saw this shirt, I wasnt so sold on it. The pattern didn't really catch my attention and the primary colors weren't too pleasing either. Until I read the following:

@madmonday:

can't wait until a year from now when everyone is like, oh i want that flannel, it is so unique & what a good weight & weave 

@Giles:

MM, What is so interesting is that is exactly what will happen…..G

When I saw this exchange, its hard not to act on it. Experience speaks volumes and since then this has been my go to shirt when going out with friends on a winter night. I got the Characoal one but I'm sure Red won't disappoint

[JCar2666]

Thanks for the feedback J-IV.  I'm still considering this in red but have yet to pull the trigger.

[zhivago]

You won't be disappointed if you do, the red is f'n fantastic.

Strange that there's so many larges left and little else. 
Got an XL charcoal from DC4 at the last minute.  I liked the cut of the solid so much this year I decided I could not pass.

I think the 51 feels a little heavier than the fabric on the 52 & 54. Any thoughts?

[Omega Man]

I thought so too.

[7tacos]

I haven't got my 51 yet but I have both of last years' 32s and a 20 from two years ago and they are all heavier than my 52 black solid.

[J-IV]

I agree. My 51 is heavier compared to the 52.

Mr.G, any explanations?

[7tacos]

BTW, regarding the IHSH-51, I love some of the Google Japanese to English translations:

“It is already the jacket beyond the domain of the shirt.”
“Big black-based check of adults aware of the bad.”

….

@J-IV:

Mr.G, any explanations?

No, constructed the same way

[JCar2666]

People who bought this shirt, did you size up 1 or stick with your normal Iron Heart shirt size?

[Omega Man]

Ture to normal IH shirt size for me.

[MikeC]

I sized up one, but wish I didn't.

[Jordan23]

Sized up and pretty happy with that!:)
