IHSH-311-GRN - Ultra Heavy Flannel Western Shirt - Tartan Check - Green
-
Woohoo, copped one, gotta keep that closet of flannels looking like a rainbow
It is an absolutely cracking colour way…. Great pick up.
-
I wish I would have grabbed a purple rain. I have enough of them for now hough, I'm going to focus on denim and other fabrics for a while or until a uhf that I just can't resist drops.
Enjoy your shirt man! It's def a sick colorway

While I may be in the minority, the over the top patterning in the Western because of the additional yokes and pocket flaps works for me. The Work is easily a cleaner looking shirt, but I dig how busy this comes off
-
@Joberwocky it is rare that a work shirt outsells the western on the first day. Not unheard of, but rare. Generally speaking westerns sell far more than work shirts in every department. Hard to guess the reasons why it happened this time, but I'd guess it has to do with this pattern having been made five or six years ago in a western, and the fact that this iteration was released after the work shirt.
Imho work shirts and westerns are both great. When it comes to UHF's I'm leaning more to work shirts these days, but often it is personal idiosyncrasies that determine which pattern I feel works best with which cut. For example, the upcoming purple UHF is perfect as a work shirt, while the black and red number works best as Western.
-
I think there's something about how solid the doubled up shoulder feels that I like about a western, that and flap pockets. Being fairly short, I also think the trimmer fit of the Western works better for my size. Im also a fan of snaps on a heavier weight shirt, though I see some recent work shirts have been getting snaps, so that's a plus.
All in all they're both great styles and I dig that they're both "relatively" readily available. If I break down and get the purple this year, or finally get a red buffalo check, I'll most likely go work just to have some variety. I think the work shirt cut works better as a shacket. Now if I could get a few more colors/patterns in the same fabric as my 7oz blue work shirt, that'd be a different story altogether

I missed out on this one the first time around…no way I was going to miss it this time. Watching the OG’s wearing theirs, made me a little envious.
Now maybe I can join the cool club
I'm newer to IH, so seeing older pics of this shirt had me, dare I say, green with envy. Had to pick it up this go round
-
Been about two years or close to it since I got any IH. But got me one of these with pearl snaps. I love me UHF!
-
I’m assuming that you guys are referring to the 107 when talking about this UHF being previously released? Of course it’s not exactly the same pattern and the 107 wasn’t a herringbone weave, colors are the same though. I would say this bad boy is gonna be a classic in its own right!
This was the one I had my eyes on so I copped one pronto at release, looking forward to seeing it in the flesh.

…couldn't make the purchase this morning from my iphone at work (password issue). 4 XXXXL's up for grabs. 10 minute drive back home with numbers dwindling. 2 left. Now one is mine. :o
...this will be my first UHF and this will be my last green shirt.
...'Green Acres' UHF!
I just love the Western shirts. -
…@Jordonf9 I stayed with the black snaps but really want to see your shirt with the white snaps, that's gonna be nice.
...hope @mclaincausey doesn't mind but here's that earlier iteration of the Green UHF I think you're talking about. Great shirt and what got me to pull the trigger on this one!
-
Very stoked for you @vaquero357 you're gonna love it. It is a perfect shirt for MN, it reduces the amount of layering necessary in the winter. I love it over a black IH henley for example. Guessing it won't be your last UHF. This one gets the most compliments of any garment I own. The one above came in three excellent colorways, but this and the IHSH-87 are probably my favorite UHF.
-
…thanks @mclaincausey! Got the IHSH-300-RED in the crosshairs and then I'm 'putting the cork in it' for 2021! ??? :o
…and you're right about a black shirt underneath, great look! -
…'Green Acres' UHF. Not a lot of buzz for this one right now but it's growing on me. Perfect for St. Patricks Day or a Green Bay Packers game.
I grew up in Wisconsin and am a big Packers fan. I also just love green. This colorway is AMAZING for me. Couldn't be more excited.
I know a lot seem to be more stoked on this as a work shirt, but I'm a western UHF guy through and through
Same. Pulled the trigger on this in Western immediately.
I really hope IH decides to add a pen pocket feature to the Westerns in the future. That would be incredible. I've been debating taking it to get altered locally….
-
Agreed on the Western over work shirt in general, though there have been some irresistible work shirts I copped and I like the occasional variety. But the western cut looks great, I love the double yoke, and snaps are where it's at. I don't think I have any work shirt UHFs but I do like the patterns Haraki designs for work shirts.

That's my first and only other UHF that I have from IH. This green one will be my second.
I have some Filson flannels in more standard patterns (red buffalo check, etc) to fill in the gaps…. but the IH quality is unmatched. The nicest shirt I've ever owned. (don't mean to rub it in or anything)yeah this shirt isn't 1/2 bad…....................
