IHSH-312-IND - Indigo Ultra Heavy Flannel Work Shirt - Buffalo Check

[Curt]

Is this the same colors as IHSH-251-IND? The lighter blue looks to be more bright/vivid on the IHSH-313-IND.

[Giles]

No, this is indigo dyed.  We have never done an indigo dyed Ultra Heavy Flannel before….

Thanks! Looking forward to ordering tomorrow.

I don't think we made this point clear enough in this thread.  I'm working on that now

Y'all buried the lead lol.  I was wondering why these were priced a little higher than the others.  I am assuming the added production costs of indigo dying these is the reason.  Also explains the comment (on the western version) on the fade potential with these.  Wasn't 100% sure I'd grab one of these despite how beautiful they look.  Knowing that they are indigo dyed just sold me.  Definitely gonna try to grab one of these in the western.

The sizing looks larger than most UHF’s that I have. I am typically an XXL but even my XXL with the largest P2P is 23.8. Should I stick with an XXL or go with an XL?

@Curt if it is just the chest and all the other XXL attributes look good for for you, I’d still go for an xxl and ask for the smallest p2p in the order notes.

I'm going to try and cop the scratchiest 3xl in this tomorrow and squirrel it away maybe, stack it for a while until the heat dies down. I can't pass up IH first ever indigo dyed UHF. I've made way too many purchases recently…

I need another UHF workshirt because I do not have one.

There has been some discussion in this and the IHSH-302-IND thread about the difference between these and previous UHF's.

This is the first time we have indigo dyed the yarns in a UHF, and we had to use a different mill to weave the fabric. Though the actual shirt construction is done in our normal workshop.

The dyeing of the yarn in indigo is more expensive and harder to weave than non-indigo, so this has resulted in a higher cost and therefore price of the shirt over previous non-indigo UHF's.

Also, the mill that we used for the weaving of the fabric has different fabric brushing technology, so the hand feel is subtely different from non-indigo UHF's.

Now I really, really want one. Can we get a closeup if the brush-ness of the outside and inside, please?

Is it just the darker blue yarn that's indigo or are the light blue squares also of indigo dyed yarn?

[Alex]

My understanding is that it is an Indigo / Blue, so dark blue indigo and lighter blue (non indigo)

Quite the evolution that would turn out to be, with the indigo squares turning out lighter and brighter than the light blue squares over time.
