IHSH-181-GRN - Green/Black Ultra Heavy Flannel Glen Check Western Shirt

That green is so vibrant.
To be honest it's not that vibrant in person. The product page pics are definitely closer to how the color looks in person. A bit more on the forest green side.

I didn't realise there were houndstooth patterns in this. It's more spectacular than I first thought.. If only we weren't heading into summer down here.

Glen check or glen plaid is derived from Glenurquhart in Scotland, where the New Zealand-born Countess of Seafield, Nina Caroline Ogilvie-Grant, had the design developed to use for her gamekeeper’s outfits in the early 19th Century. The pattern came to true popularity when Edward VIII, as Prince of Wales, visited the Seafield estate to hunt and took a fancy to the design, having some cloth created for himself in brown and cream - hence it’s other name, the Prince of Wales check.
While Prince of Wales checks have generally become smaller and finer over time, the term glen check today tends to refer to designs of a larger scale, in keeping with the original Scottish pattern.

cross post from the grey glen check page, but a brown and cream glen check would be nice.
