      Just a few quick notes on this shirt in lieu of better pictures than I posted yesterday. I agree completely with @budpatch that this is a winner. The weight to warmth ratio is spectacular and the fabric itself is lovely. I own a few UHF's (don't we all? 😃 ) and no, it doesn't have the softness of those but imho it's a much more interesting fabric in it's own right. As @zatenm notes the cut is slightly different to other workshirts, Straighter through the body and without any flare at the opening, so it seems smarter. The very even, uniform hand of the material adds to this impression. I'm unsure as to why G and Sam sized up as I wear my standard XL and it fits well. Might have to do with length?

      Overall I had high expectations for the shirt and I'm happy to say it meets them. It's absolutely one of the best IH items I own. Whether it retains that position will very much depend on how it wears, but suffice to say its that good, I'm considering buying another. Also I don't know if there are any plans afoot but I'd love to see this material used for other shirts, CPO's, westerns etc. I suspect it depends on how much Haraki-san digs it

        @neph93 I have to agree.  It's brand new to me so I'm hesitant to say it is one of my favorites, but I have a feeling once the honeymoon phase wears off it will still be one of my go to's.  I'm also now questioning why I didn't pick up an olive to go with my grey.

          Yeah, for sure, I'm basing that on right out of the blue bag first wear, but also the fabric, construction and details. Like you say, how it develops will determines how I rate it later.

          With regards to the details, the buttons are certainly worth a mention. Unlike any other buttons I've seen on IH gear, they are oversized and really attractive. Also the double button on the cuff is great, adds to the military feel of the shirt.

          It was always going to be the olive first for me. The charcoal is nice but I have too many dark shirts as it is. I'm trying to hold off asking G to source a grey for me. I'm standing fast at the moment but my resolve may fail at any time so if any of you owners of the grey out there feel tempted to post pictures, then consider my bank balance before enabling me further  😠 😉

            @Giles did I read that these are getting restocked? All missing colours and sizes?

                              and for the record, I blame your fit pics for pushing me over the edge.

                                    @BloodnThunder , @neph93 , thank you.  There, I said it 😉

                                        Enjoy the olive.  When I received my grey one of the first things I thought was, "should I get the olive too?"

                                          Guess that I am more broke than y'all as I robo-copped all three! Couldn't pass 'em up as the shape and buttons reminded me of the IHSH-54 (albeit w/o side pockets).

                                          My initial impressions are that the luminescence of the buttons contrast best with the charcoal. The woolen texture is really softened and showcased in that of the light grey while the green is reminiscent of a (not so soft) vintage military blanket. The double button cuff is a very appreciated feature as I find myself unbuttoning the top and single cuffing…especially when layering with jackets with shorter arms.
