IHSH-20 Heavy Western Flannel
-
Thanks again to @browniemcghee for giving me the opportunity to get this pristine SH20. I was curious to do a comparison with my beloved 72, here's a short review:
1.) Fit: The Sh 20 has a much longer body. As it is unwashed and the 72 has been heavily washed it might shrink a bit more, making it perfect. At the moment it's a tad long for my liking. The Arms on the 72 are also longer, which I like.
2.) Fabric: The SH 20 has a brighter red, seems to have been brushed more (the checks look like stripes on the inside) and feels a tiny bit heavier than the 72. Also softer, I attribute that to the brushing and the fact that the 72 has been worn and washed a lot. The 20s checks are also a bit broader than on the 72.
3.) Details: The old snaps feel different, hard to describe, but certainly a nice variation from the well known permex snaps. The chest pockets are more square-shaped.
All in all it's great to have that classic in my hands and I wouldn't have thought there's so much variation / difference.

Haha, thanks. It helps if the right person takes pictures. BTW, in the Samurai thread are pictures where I wear the 72 for reference.

Too long??? You are drunk? Could be your best fitting flannel my friend.

Here’s another necrobump, with another crappy pic of a recently acquired grail:
Cookie monster. The shirt, the myth, the legend. Im not sure what it is, but there’s a different feel to the extra-heavy and ultra-heavy flannels of old. Denser, softer. Luxurious. Also, the extra body-length is welcome for me. Thanks to Clint_D!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

@Max:
Seems like all the owners of the 20 like to boast
If you had two of these, like I do, you'd do the same… ::)
