I went workshirt on this, because I wear my purple 12 more than any shirt. The colors are very different, and both are great. The western looks really good on you. Congrats.

Thanks mate. I also like the bright colour compared to the 101.

Just got the 130 as my first IH shirt ever. Had a question…do you find that the inside of the shirt (brushed cotton side) pills really easily?
I wore it lightly only for a couple hours and when I took it off, noticed pretty severe pilling for a first time wear. Is this normal or did I get a defective shirt?...kinda disappointed at how easily it pills

Do you have a picture? I've owned quite a lot uhf's now and cant say ive noticed severe piling, but also dont pay too much attention. They develop some piling and fading on the outside with frequent wears and washing but you can also wash and wear it without any problems for years and im sure your shirt is no exception.

@rmc is it throughout the shirt? I've worn mine pretty much everyday for the last few months (I have a few that I keep in rotation), but I've noticed some regular (not severe) pilling inside the collar in the back of the neck area, but it doesn't seem to be harming the shirt at all.

With flannels and other napped fabric I get pilling in the areas where the shirt rubs my denim and belt almost immediately, and like @Dstauffer said, the back of the neck and shoulders over time.
This is pretty common with napped fabric in my experience and doesn't affect the overall quality of the shirt.

Thanks all for the reply…but yes exactly...I noticed the pilling in the belt/waist area. Glad to know these should not affect the durability of the shirt!

@adam313 where do you live btw? The scenery is always nice in your pics.

Much appreciation @manufc10 . I'm usually somewhere between Santa Fe and Steamboat Springs. These last pics in the 130 purps were on top of Sapphire Point in Dillon, Colorado.

I really need to wash mine and the grey….won't be wearing them for a while and have yet to....ha.
LOVE this shirt!
-
@Niro that's a great score. It's one of my favorite shirts and draws it's fair shares of compliments.
-
Yeah, one of my favorites as well. And the purple is so different from the buffalo check that it's valid to own both

Despite my attempt at trying to save money I broke down and picked this up at SE. I ended up going with an xl because they were sold out of large, so the plan is to hot wash the shit out of this thing to see if I can get some shrink out of it. The only other time I've sized up to xl was with the GRN 206, but those sewed up on the smaller side. Also, I wasn't really big on purple when these came out because I live in Minnesota and that color is associated with the Vikings. But, I don't have this color in my wardrobe and figured i'd give it a try.
For those of you with experience, when you guys hot wash UHF's do you also throw it in the dryer for maximum shrinkage or do you hang dry after the hot wash? I won't know just how big this shirt will be on me until I get it next week. The plan is to hot wash with some woolite dark, but i'm concerned there will be color fading if I chuck it in the dryer. Should I skip the dryer and just go with a hang dry? I'd mostly want to get some shrink out of the sleeves as the xl measurements are really long.
