IHSH-101-TG - Turquoise/Grey Ultra Heavy Cotton Flannel Western Shirt

Looks like you have a bit of room to shrink it GoBruins! Would be interested in seeing the post wash fit as well!

GoBruins great photo, great fit, great taste.

@Appfaff, Will do (although it might take me a week or two to get the pictures up here). Hope you're enjoying your new workshirt :). What's your favorite UHF?
@sabergirl and @johnny5799, thanks!

@GoBruins Thanks dude, I've loving my 102TG. The OG came out while I was on an IH hiatus, so I'm glad to have snagged this one. I only have 3 UHF and love them all equally, but in different ways. The 101MC is pure class, the 127GB is old school cool and the 102TG is modern & flashy, but in the right kinda way

Drooling in anticipation of the arrival of mine on Wednesday. I have both the green and red buffalo check flannels and was looking for a good blue to add to the collection. The turquoise looks fantastic in all of the images posted.
-
@Appfaff, Oh yeah I really love all of those. Unfortunately I was too late on the green/black but I guess they're doing another run of those this year so maybe I'll be able to get it later on if I have the funds.. Really excited for the grey and purple ombre this year! I was wondering, what kind of detergent do you use to wash your UHF's? I'm currently out and need some more so I can run some washes today.
@Surf Monkey, Hope you love it!
-
@GoBruins I use Woolite Dark for my UHF's.
-
@GoBruins - I have not machine washed any of them, only cold soaked and hung to dry. I use dr. brommers and soak in the tub or a small bucket. Works well for me as the 101 and the 127 are pretty short cut and any crazy shrink would make them look odd on me. For my 102, I'll just throw in the machine with Gain.

Got mine today. The color is fantastic. Very unique. It works perfectly with my red-head completion. The cotton on this is remarkably soft. Giles' comments about it are dead true. It's noticeably softer and more subtle than my other two UHFs.
Very happy!
-
^but weren't all previous UHFs made of the same cotton? I feel like the fabric gets a bit rougher with wear & washing, maybe that's why the new one feels softer.
-
Are the others Aspero cotton? I thought that yarn was specific to these.

@Surf:

No, I think that's used in all of them. Giles has written a note on somewhere here.
I also believe the UHF's have been produced at a number of different factories. Different looms may account for the different hand on different shirts. Haraki-san owns some factories, or has invested in them, but has a number of smaller, single loom gigs that he likes to use. That is my understanding anyway. Giles will be able to give a precise explanation.

Had to return my XL to get me XXL…The Xl measured the same as my shrunken down SH72, so I thought it would be safer to size up and shrink it down (which I'm currently doing). It's clear today I'm lacking a good photographer.
-
@Max Power that makes me nervous about the sizing. How much should these shrink? I have never owned an iron heart shirt and have not yet been home to try it on. The girlfriend says it's about a half inch bigger in all lengths than a favorite flannel of mine. I really hope I don't have to return mine. Getting an XL will be a challenge.
