Oh man you have no idea how grateful and lucky I feel to have nabbed the only 4xl. Best day ever. Also I found out today I have off until Saturday. (I  have been working 3 weeks, straight 12s, no days off).

Whoever is taking these pictures does a great job! They serve to only further my anticipation.

Just curious… how does the fabric feel? Just considering g the western version but wanted to get an idea of how I’d felt.

@joephoto  I'll let you know in about 3 hours.

Thanks! I always tend to go for IH shirts with a bit of heft to them. I don’t like flowy shirts if that makes sense.

This will have heft I suspect.

I'm guessing it will feel similar to the 129's and 170 since they are all 10oz unbrushed flannel.

Such a happy day for me! I am elated to receive my new shirt. When I receive one of these brown bags I am reminded of the scene in Harold and Kumar where Kumar has sex with the bag of weed….

First off, the fit is fantastic! There is plenty of room but the silhouette is very flattering. It doesn't look overly large.... but there's plenty of room in the chest, arms, and for my gut (when I sit). Then the color and look of the shirt is even better!!

Also huge bonus: the sleeves are not super long, nor are the sleeve openings massive. They are just right.

Now to answer @joephoto the weight is almost exactly the same as the last 2 spring shirts. Maybe it is because my shirts have been washed a ton, the 2 older ones are perceived to be a teensy bit heavier. But the texture of this shirt is slightly different because of the double yarns. The yarns and the hand feel virtually identical.

New compared to old…

Thanks guys and @Giles I absolutely love the new shirt. I will treasure it.

Thanks @Filthy

That was the comparison I was looking for.

Damn @Filthy. Looks great, not least with the super dark denim. I picked up the last XL because I want to wear it with my XHSib.

Awesome Reuben! We can be twins!

Also, forgot to say that even though I love snaps, I am appreciative of the wider pockets of the work shirt, compared to the western pockets. ….meaning I am thankful to have this over the western.

I want to be DD though. You can be Arnie.

Sounds like a plan, man!

@Filthy was it you who had hobby fatigue a while back? Seems like 2019 has fixed you right up! Stellar outfit.

I've never heard that expression before… but yeah. I always feel fatigued and depressed. Likely due to this and the insane amount if hours I work. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spherocytosis
