IHSH-130-PB - Purple/Black Ombre Ultra Heavy Western Shirt

[Giles]

Although we use the same yarns, they behave differently with different dyes…..

[Dstauffer]

@Giles @Jordonf9 With how amazing the fit was on these bad boys, I'm excited to see how the fit turned out on the soon approaching buffalos

[Giles]

In theory they should all fit the same.  But as I have said elsewhere, there are 2 variables that may skew the result:

1. The colour of dye effects the way the yarn behaves
2. The weave pattern (plan, crazy, ombre, buffalo) effects the way the fabric behaves….

[Jordonf9]

@Giles do you know which weave is normally the tightest?

[Giles]

All woven at the same tension, it's how the different warp and weft patterns required of the pattern, affect the end fabric

I had convinced myself that since I love my purple buffalo, I wasn't even allowed to consider this one, but it looks so good! Must resist, and wait for solid UHFs and serge cpo…

Resistance is FUTILE! Give in to the dark side! See who has a problem with that

I've got to be honest, this is a great looking shirt….  But as a WSU Coug I cannot justify a purple shirt.  When is the Crimson and Grey ombre coming!?

Shut up! Go Cougs! This is soooooo much better than that awful WU purple! This is Iron Heart!!!!!!!!

Crimson and grey? Not planned.

This is an essential shirt.

[Jordonf9]

The ombre got a unexpected cold soak last night on the bike, outside still drying, see if there is any shrinkage at all. I am expecting very little.

[BloodnThunder]

Thanks @Giles, I need to add to the "what you think we should make thread".  Been keeping close tabs on the release schedule.  I think my bank account will suffer enough without a crimson and grey flannel in the mix

I'll just echo what others have said, in that the color is so nice in person.  Such a stunner of a shirt, but alas the sleeves are too long for my lumpy body so my XL is going back to IHUK.

[Jett129]

The sleeve length is the only reason that shirt isn't currently hanging in my closet. Emailed SelfEdge and Kiya said they'll have them in the stores on Sept. 22nd. Going to go and try one on and see if I can deal with the sleeve length. Also been reading up on sleeve shortening. Some say you should shorten from the shoulder,and some say you should go from the cuff. Anyone have any experience in that area?

[neph93]

No experience but surely cuff is the simplest option?
