Hi all.
I took my shirt on holiday but sadly things didn’t work out as planned.
2 days too hot.
1 day too wet.
So I only got to wear it out in the wild for part of one day.
So.
Here we are getting ready to go out.
If anyone is interested in playing a little guessing game - the prize being 3 Iron Heart stickers - I’ll post some more images for you to guess where the shirt went. -
Unfortunately out of stock!
-
What size do you wear cc75? Selfedge has the western version of the shirt in all sizes but 4xl.

For those interested, i finally got around to putting a video together on this beauty.
Great video as always! And am glad I am not the only one who thinks these UHF shirts are scratchy! Not only do you but so does this style blogger: https://dieworkwear.com/2019/01/12/finding-the-perfect-flannel-shirt/. Who says, 'These flannels can be a little starchy at first, but they soften up wonderfully over time.'
I have washed mine in 30 degrees with vinegar and it's still like wearing a woollen blanket! A beautiful blanket but scratchy wool nevertheless. Maybe IH will use Pima cotton instead. That's from the Andes too - and is far softer! I doubt that's ever going to happen. But at least I am not alone in finding the UHF's scratchy! I just hope that they do soften up wonderfully

Blanket-like sure, scratchy? Nah.
Wear an IH melton wool CPO, that’s scratchy!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

@JP:

Won't happen. Aspero cotton is supremely expensive, so we have tried every alternative that we can think of. In our opinion, nothing comes close to Aspero, so despite the cost, that is what we will continue to use.
Pima is a farmed cotton that was effectively invented and trademarked by the USDA in the early 20th century. It is grown in a number of places around the world, one of which is Peru
-
It's a good kind of scratchy. Ha. I think it's very soft.

Oh gosh. I didn't mean to cause offence to anyone by calling these shirts scratchy! If others who have them don't find them so then that's brilliant! I was just curious because I have never come across an item of clothing that is meant to be renowned for being super soft and yet seems so wildly different. That's all.
Of course, IH is not going to stop using Aspero cotton. I get that. Although Aspero is renowned for being a very dry cotton. Add some starchiness to that mix and you have, perhaps, the ingredients for what I call scratchy.
For what it's worth, I bought another UHF at the weekend and, despite it being pretty rough, it's nowhere near as bad as the purple.
So there we are. I'll just wear long-sleeved t-shirts!
But please, I meant to offence or to criticise! They are great shirts.
