XL just absolute perfection for me. May have to grab it if the brown or green are too much longer.

I’m still trying to wrap my head around spending $360 for a flannel, but once I do, I’m game

My 7 year old daughter gave it a thumbs up, so that’s a start

@indigostiff ...there's no stopping once you go down the rabbit hole. The UHF is amazingly soft and feels like warm hugs on crappy winter days...

[indigostiff]

Newb question - do these already come with the hd black snaps, or can they be pimped further to hd black snaps??!!

[goosehd]

@indigostiff These come with Black Iron Heart logo’d Permex snaps (which can be pimped with a choice of three alternative ‘heavy-duty’ snaps). Check the Details tab for more info

[indigostiff]

@goosehd Thank you for this. But when I click the Details options, there appear four (4) pimpable buttons, the black pearl snap which is one of them. Is that the same one that comes on the shirt standard? Thank you again.

[goosehd]

@indigostiff Gotcha. Yes it comes with the "Black Permex" snap not pearl (don't think there is a black pearl).

Here are images for your reference:

[indigostiff]

@goosehd Thank you. I'm just used to calling them pearl snaps, but indeed they aren't. Thanks again.

[indigostiff]

Quick question - why do the same shirts, different style, change the chain stitching aspect? For example, this is in a work shirt is chain stitched, whereas the western is not. Thank you

[indigostiff]

@indigostiff Any thoughts here people of knowledge, @goosehd? Thank you.

[goosehd]

@indigostiff I believe there is no other reason than a stylistic one and they serve no purpose other that aesthetics. I looked it up to make certain by using the forum search and this came up "@Giles said in Does anyone else not *get* chainstitch runoff on shirts?:

It's actually a bit of clothing narcissism.  It says, "hey look my shirt was made using a 'real' sewing machine".  Sometimes I cut them off, but sometimes I leave them on.  G"

I don't know the reason why it's on work shirts but not western's, but maybe @Giles or @Alex can chime in. It could have been one of those things that Haraki just decided and no one really questions.

[Giles]

Because we like to ring the changes.......Seriously nothing more planned than that.......

[Matt]

After examining my collection I can only assume that it has to do not with the shirt style but with the presence or absence of gussets. Most if not all work shirts have them, some westerns do and some don’t. All of the gusseted shirts have runoff. From there it appears to be aesthetic as runoff coming off a straight vertical side seam would look different than the ones coming off the curved seam bottom of a gussetted hem.

Thank you all - most helpful

I see the chart for this WS, and I feel I am between the sizes S and M. I usually wear an S in Western shirts, and I have the UHF Red Buffalo Plaid in size M. However, I am not sure about this one. Any thoughts from someone who has bought this UHF Crazy WS red?

Should I go S or M?
