I think we should leave the troll bashing there. Not that he didn’t deserve it.

He is gone now though, and we don’t want anyone to think we are anything other than a welcoming, warm, fuzzy, cuddly, sort of sect. Or that we have anything against Nu Metal.

@LewisStonehouse I welcome your solid use of Boromir and Korn

[LewisStonehouse]

So… how’s everyone finding the indigo UHF then?

[Joberwocky]

Mine will be making it's second appearance in the wild tomorrow.  May even dare gasp to rock it with the bibs 

[yannis]

Wow!! I missed all the fun

[mclaincausey]

Sect? We are a CULT, sir!

Kornns English is crazy good. I'm serious I like the way he writes.
Always thought it more  a faction than sect. More of a Party thing than a raving glassy eyed rabble -let me rethink this

Hello Guys

Thnx in advance.

When it gets dirty or smelly, at no more than 40C.  Don't aggressively spin..

This beauty came in yesterday. A nice compliment to my purple UHF from this season. Hand feel is def. different but not in a bad way in fact it feels more durable then my purple, that one is just so damn soft I want to baby it. I love the color and fit on this one. A little more room in the shoulders and chest then the purple but a tad shorter. Excuse the toothpaste splatter on my mirror. Life with 3 boys

Really solid @Griffwald , such a great looking shirt. And commiserations on the kids vs mirror situation, I can totally relate

[rydor]

Potentially stupid question, but can't tell or find it specifically. Is the pattern on this color way indigo/dark indigo, or indigo/black? That is, will the really dark parts of the pattern also fade, or just the lighter blue parts?

Thanks!

[LewisStonehouse]

@rydor I think the dark parts are indigo (and will fades) and the light parts are blue and will not

Edit - yep the above is right, Alex said this in the thread for the work shirt

@Alex:

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

[FurattoHeddo]

Got mine today. This has to be the “thinnest” feeling UHF I ever had. Anyone else notice this?

[AdamJ]

@FurattoHeddo plenty of discussion in this thread regrading the differences to other UHFs. See below for @Giles description of the differences

@Giles:

There has been some discussion in this and the IHSH-312-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.

[FurattoHeddo]

Hadn’t seen that bit. @AdamJ

I actually don’t mind the weight as it’s one of my best fitting UHF’s to date.
