IHSH-72 - Ultra Heavy Buffalo Check Western Shirts

@Giles:

No, for some reason, none of my retailers took the green (go figure….)....

strange - whats wrong with those people?. it was kinda obvious that the green > red big times in this shirt.

Green rules man.  Whoever didn't stock it is out of touch.  Looks at how fast they went.  Check how fast they went in Japan too.

Still thinking about that total shirt count.How many stayed in Japan?And how many of each size produced?Amazing to know we own such a special and rare shirt…

[babyknight]

keep coming back to pp's fit pics in this thread… to my mind at least this is exactly how a flannel should fit.  great stuff.

Thx BK. Really appreciate it

UPS showed up with a large red 72 just 5 minutes before I had to leave for work so no fit pics but…
First impression, this shirt is amazing! Never had a 20 no any ultra heavy so no basis for comparison however, fabric rules. Buffalo check rules. Fit is spot on. Immediately jumps to favorite or maybe 2nd favorite IH shirt. So stoked I got this! Now I will try and proxy a green....

Such a great looking shirt

I focused on the chest measurement, as I always do, got a very rude shock this morning. Whilst the chest is equal to a Flathead Sz40, that's about it. The shoulder is about 2" smaller, as is the sleeve. Major curveball and will teach me to read ALL measurements.

Extra small vs sz 40 flathead

May be selling this upon my return

almost all TFH western shirts are cut wider in the shoulders and trimmer at the waist compared to IH

On the other hand.. my FH winter flannel has 23" arms while my IH shirts are usually 24.5 to 25 (FH 40 and IH Medium).  It makes up part of the difference as long as your shoulders don't stick out too far.

Giving my stump speech on the virtues of ultra heavy flannel. I really love this shirt!

You're probably not the only one who has done this

Thanks, good to know this, and worth calling out for others here who may hit this as well. Ended up with a happy ending, my Mrs absolutely loves it (and it fits her quite nicely).

I dare say not. I imagine it was even called out in this thread, but I was a little excited
