@Filthy:

I hadn't expected the white to be like a periwinkle or grey color too. Seems slightly different than the sample or maybe my perception is off? But it is so freaking awesome!!

I was super happy to discover that it was an off-white. I think photographing something with for a website that requires could colour realisation and detail inevitably means a lot of light, so the off-white looks much more like optical white. It is a stroke of genius and definitely contributes to the muted effect that others have mentioned, by toning down the contrasting colours in the shirt.

I tried my work shirt on with a few different denims, jackets and vests today, and there isn’t much it doesn’t work with.

Did you notice how the face of the shirt is not as brushed as older UHFs and is smoother? I absolutely love this.

I was initially looking at the yellow crazy check this season as I’m usually drawn to earth tones, but the more I saw this pattern, the more I liked it. I think it’s even better in person and I agree with Mike and Reuben that the muted “off-white/grey” really looks sharp. Happy to join the “purple-people” club!

Damn… EVERYONE is looking great in this shirt!  Congrats dudes

@Joberwocky  Thanks man! It’s amazing. Not something I would be immediately drawn to but I’m so glad I pulled the trigger. I don’t have anything like it (color-wise) so I took a chance and love it. Your turn!

It does have a slightly different feel to it, you’re right. Be interesting to see how it softens with washes.

@SKT the "extra" larges are in there just taunting me!
I'm trying to pick up an N1 this season…must resist buying all the UHFs...

Is this detail in cuff link area only on the Work Shirt or did it not make the final cut at all?  I was really looking forward to it

@Alex:

[Filthy2123ozjunkie]

That bias tape is not present on the western. It's just like a normal IH western UHF.

[Giles]

Correct

All UHF work shirts have that taping. UHF westerns don’t. It has to do with garment engineering I think.

The button holes on work shirts either weaken the fabric to a degree that requires reinforcement, or the snaps on the western tolerate a folded hem, providing strength for the snaps. I’m not sure which.

The heavy denim CPO’s have taping too.. probably due to the weight of the fabric and/or size of the snaps.

Arrived today! Incredibly stoked on the fit (L) and fabric.
