      @sabergirl no offense to anyone…. But I'd attribute that scratchy talk to one's own personal idiosyncrasies... The purple UHF is literally the softest UHF ever. I have owned ten if them or so. Might be some autoimmune thing or dry skin or whatever. The shirt is luxuriously soft in every sense. Perfect in every conceivable way.

        I gotta second what @Filthy is saying. I don’t have the 309 I went with the green tartan, my 7th UHF….nonetheless it is without doubt the softest UHF out of the bag I’ve ever had. Something is definitely different in the feels department on these. So soft. My 101, which I got second hand and have worn and washed the hell out of is super soft and the greenie still feels softer. Perfect indeed.

          Most/all UHF's patterns/colourways feel subtlety different from each other.  This is because different dyes create different characteristics in the yarn and different weaves create different textured fabric.

            Marginal differences in UHF’s aside, this one is as soft and comfortable as all the UHF’s I’ve had. I’d agree with @Filthy that subjective experience is the thing here.

                  @nvrp813 lovely shirt. Great colourway for you and will tolerate a hot wash if needed.

                    Appreciate the kind words. Wanted this one a touch big to allow for some thicker undershirts.

                      You can rock it like that or over layers for sure. I just find it nice to not have to worry about shrinkage happening.

                          Well, I’m sure I got one of the last in a L and I could not be more pleased! This is my second UHF from Iron Heart (the first was Purple Rain, yes I 💜 purple). The fit and feel are perfect, this feels like a cozy blanket, not scratchy at all. For me the Western style is the way to go because I like a more fitted shirt and I can still wear a Tee or a Henley underneath. It was a serious  financial plunge but this shirt will last a lifetime, and the color combination is brilliant and unique. The hot purple and blue are toned down by the brown and grays. Fantastic flannel!

                              Thank you! The L in the Western UHF is definitely right for me. Cap is new as well!  🙂

                                I thought I could resist and was hoping for no L in stock…. 😢
                                Can’t wait to receive this beauty 😃

                                    Just received this shirt the other day and wore it for the first time yesterday. Absolutely stunned by the quality and heaviness of the flannel. It’s the perfect shirt for Chicago fall and winter. I’m 6’4” 205lbs and ordered a XXL. Fit is pretty much perfect. Any laundering tips? I’d prefer to avoid shrinkage if possible.

                                      Wash at cold wash, no or low spin. Give the seams on the arms and side a good tug while still wet.

                                        Cold wash, low to no spin and avoid the tumbler.

                                        Edit: didn’t see neph answering already….

                                          Thanks for the advice. I'll stick with a cold wash and tug on the seams of the arms like you mentioned neph. Cheers!

                                            First UHF. Absolutely love it. XXL, fit feels good just a tad paranoid about the length shrinking.
