      It's nowhere near as heavy as one of the old Meltons.  I am not in UK, so can't estimate weight myself, I have asked H to give me a guesstimation…..

        What retailers are getting them?

        VMC are getting the charcoal - that's it.

        What is VMC?

              Also noticed there is size XS listed as an option in stock but no measurements when viewing the chart.

                @neph93 - I think I will stick to dry cleaning when necessary. However my red Melton CPO did mark pretty easily, but a quick damp rag usually did the trick in terms of spot cleaning.

                I agree. Washing machines and wool are a disaster. Perhaps 20% nylon is different but I wouldn't bet my shirt on it.

                Those are my principles, and if you don't like them…
                Well, I have others.

                  Can only speak for the old melton wool shirts, but IH wool shirts are amazing!!!

                  Bingo @JCMx800 !

                  Easily my most anticipated release! Looking forward to testing it out next week!

                    I've machine washed my melton a couple of times. No problem at all. Slight shrinkage though.

                      @BloodnThunder XS is a mistake.  We did not get any.  We can, but there are none here….....

                        Thanks, @Giles.  I was lucky enough to snag a small in grey.  Just looking out for us little guys.

                          Look similar weight to some of my Filson westerns from over the last few years. I have a 100% virgin western that I can wear year around and be comfortable. I'd be picking one up if I hadn't just bought a jacket from our local Philly guy. Shucks, they look utterly fantastic!

                                Blue bag came in yesterday.  The weight is very nice….  Feels pretty close to what a 7 OZ. spring flannel weighs, but with much more breathability.  For wool it's almost airy.  The hand is also quite nice.  Compared to many other wool shirts I have felt this one, for lack of a better word, is very 'tolderable'.  For all those sensitive to wool I noticed zero contact around the collar due to the lining so the only real place you would have a lot of contact is in the sleeves if you wore a t-shirt underneath (a long sleeve shirt would altogether eliminate contact).  All in all another amazingly well done shirt by IH that no one on the fence should sleep on.

                                  I got mine too.  Absolutely love it.  I would definitely say warmer than a spring flannel though.  That's just my impression.  I did size up, though I could have gone either way.  I would buy the other colors if I could.  Don't sleep, gentlemen.  This is a particularly amazing shirt.

                                    Mine should arrive today. Haven't been quite this excited for an IH product in some time. Scared shitless about sizing. Just like old times [emoji16]

                                        Mate, you're so right.

                                            Oh there will be. This is too nice a shirt for my dirty bathroom mirror pics though, so I'll see if the wife will take a couple before I wear the shirt to work tomorrow. Stay tuned.
