IHSH-309-PUR - Ultra Heavy Flannel Western Shirt - Classic Check - Purple

[Giles]

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.

@Filthy:

@sabergirl no offense to anyone…. But I'd attribute that scratchy talk to one's own personal idiosyncrasies...

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.

Whoops. Mine is the 299. Wrong thread.

@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.

Nice

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!

@DavidNC Looks great with the cap!  Nice fit too

[DavidNC]

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

[DavidNC]

You won’t be disappointed!

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.

[Dmart]

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

Edit: didn’t see neph answering already….

[Griffwald]

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

[Griffwald]

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

Welcome to the club

@Griffwald The fit looks great, just wash cold, no/low spin, and give it a pull when wet like Neph said. You’ll be set
