@Max:

@UnTucked:

1cm is negligible….. Plus, they're already here at my house, lol.

You'll find that they don't take up smell easily, so you could get away with handwashes or cold washes without spin. This should reduce shrinkage to a minimum.

Thanks for the pro-tip!!!!!

I'm rethinking my stance on these, trying to decide between green or red and red is currently winning.
General rule of thumb is to take the same size between work and western, correct?

[Max Power]

Keep in mind, there are more reds out there than green (20,72,109,127). There's a better chance to get a red second-hand. But as I prefer the red out of all my flannels, I know what you mean.

Regarding sizing: with the 101, i would have adviced to size up one from the workshirtsize. But as we don't know the exact measurements of These, I'd not wager a decision yet.

[UnTucked]

Greens are selling fast, even through the Japanese vendors that I have access to…..

I recommend anyone who wants one should get it and not think twice if your size is available.

We are still hoping to get the shirts on Monday.  And of course, if we do, they will go live at 16:00 British Summer Time.  If there is any delay, we will announce here.

Without exaggeration … I can't remember so much tension, before a garment release  .. boy, oh boy!

It's likely to be a shit storm.  I sent an update email to 180 individuals this morning, who had completed the "tell me when back in stock" form.

Didn't see it in this thread, but in case I missed it - these are the same fabric/build/details as previous years' Ultra Heavy Buffalo (72, 101, etc.)?

Thanks!

Yessir

I know it's probably too early to ask this question, or possibly redundant to what's already been discussed, but do you think the call is to stay true to my IH size, or size up for this one? Sorry for the annoying question, i'm sure all will be revealed soon enough! thanks.

Without measurements it's impossible to tell. I have many IH heavy flannels and would say if you are between sizes size up. You can usually expect 1/2 size shrinkage if you wash/dry them

Latest update.

They are due here now on Monday morning….

Things are getting bad, I dreamt of Buffalo Check shirts last night…

@Giles:

… I dreamt of Buffalo Check shirts last night

Me too - every night! 

I hope, after the F/W line up my dreams going back in the right direction .. naked girls, fast cars, Pizza, .. 

[Giles]

@Madame Buttonfly and I were in the office earlier sorting out orders and clearing the decks for what is going to be an interesting Monday….

[Cole]

Hopefully this will be the last night that I dream of UHF shirts, older English guys and local IH retailers then. 

[Giles]

Me too…...

In advance of this being chaotic tomorrow…

Despite the upfront costs, manufacturing lead times/availability and seasonal nature of these... Is there not a line of thought somewhere that, much like the jeans, having an always available stock of shirts with permanent model number allowing all year round sales and constant stock for retailers and the IH UK store would be a good thing?  Then have new yearly issues in new colourways?  Just pontificating whilst trying to convince her indoors that I need to cop multiple colours...

Hopefully the WLAN will work at work tomorrow
