          I still can't imagin how this fabric feels. It looks super dense, rigid and heavy.

              Very intrigued buy this one, so a really dumb question, what makes this material different to corduroy?

                This is what Giles said on the original post about this shirt. Hope it helps.

                "Kersey is a kind of coarse woollen cloth that was an important component of the textile trade in Medieval England.

                It derives its name from kersey yarn and ultimately from the village of Kersey, Suffolk, having presumably originated in that region. However, the cloth was made in many places. It was being woven as early as 1262 in Andover, Hampshire, where regulations prohibited the inclusion of Spanish wool in kerseys. [1] By 1475, the West Riding of Yorkshire including Calderdale was also a major producer, while Devon and Somerset were major producers and exporters until the manufacture later moved to serge making. Kersey was a lighter weight cloth than broadcloth. English kerseys were widely exported to central Europe[2] and other places: a surviving business letter[3] from the end of the 16th century recommends to trade kerseys for good wine on the Canary Islands.

                Kersey yarns were spun in large gauges (thicknesses) from inferior carded wool, and made thick and sturdy cloth. Kersey was a warp-backed, twill-weave cloth woven on a four-treadle loom."

                    Alex, if this shirt does well do you think you will entertain another run of this material in a different color?

                    You won’t be satisfied until you wear Iron Heart.

                      Quite possibly, yes.

                        That sounds like an awesome idea. I call dibs on a brown version.

                          Brown, grey, green, red….so many options  😃

                          My thoughts are that this will do well given all the talk here...the fabric does look amazing!

                            Me, too. On the last post, I think Giles said only 40 were made for outside of Japan. I have a feeling they'll go quickly.

                                        We are taking about 40. There are about 200 for the stockists listed in post three, so you may well get one elsewhere if not through us

                                          @Giles , sorry if this was answered already and I missed it: what kind of shrinkage is expected for this fabric?

                                            @Alex Did you come to a final conclusion on snap upgrades?  Lightweight or Heavyweight?  Thanks in advance!
