IHSH-247-IND - 9oz Selvedge Flannel Check Western Shirt – Indigo/Dark Indigo

To the folks that own this 9oz flannel weight; how does it compare to the UHF in terms of warmth?

The fabric is amazing. I have both the red and indigo and both are equally great. As far as warmth they aren’t as shielding from cold as the UHF’s but they are definitely a nice middle ground between too lightweight and an ultra heavy flannel. I highly recommend them.

For those that have this shirt, how has your experience been with the shrinkage via a cold/hot wash? How much should I be expecting with either? Thanks a ton!

From the shop page: “One-washed so minimal, if any, shrinkage”.

I have machine washed mine three or four times. No shrinkage. I imagine that if you cranked the temps to 90C it will shrink anyway. Most cotton does. However a normal 40C wash  creates no shrinkage.

Appreciate the insight @neph93

I really wanted to order, but sleeves are so short

Strange. IH shirts are generally considered to have relatively long sleeves and these seem about standard measurements for IH. What are you basing your observations on?

[MichalM]

Measurements table
Size L
Sleeve: 65,5 cm

I've asked Rivet and Hide for real sleeve measurement and it was 66 cm.
I need at least 67 cm

Is that based on measuring shirts you have already?

[MichalM]

Yes,
IHSH-258-NAV size L.
Perfect fit for me.

That is a work shirt, yes? The 247 is a western. I would strongly recommend looking at the shoulder measurements of both shirts.

Work shirts often have marginally smaller shoulders than westerns because of the cut. This means the sleeves need to be longer.

Just had a look for you and you are still a centimeter out…

[MichalM]

Yeap, oh well…
I will wait for some SS21 new shirts.

Breaking out this western today. Fall weather is finally starting to set in here in NJ. This is an XL and fits more like an L through the shoulders and chest with an opening more in-line with XL
