IHSH-369-GRY - 12oz Slubby Heavy Flannel Herringbone Check Western Shirt - Grey

[SaddleSC]

OK guys...I just snagged this shirt in Size Large at Berkeley Supply in Denver and it is an absolute stunner. I think it may be one of the most unique UHFs IH has ever released. The unique texture of the fabric, the deeply saturated colors, and the soft but variegated exterior...insane shirt...I will post pics as soon as I get home, but this one is THE one to have this season!

@SaddleSC I'm on the fence and looking for some real world reviews. Looking forward to your thoughts.

Is it the same aspero cotton fabric that the UHF shirts are made out of?

We don't say that it is Aspero do we?

@TinMan I’m on a PS5. Spending all my time on it playing Baldurs Gate 3 at the moment. Man, that’s some good video game.

Can’t wait for this shirt to arrive either, fascinated by the fabric and love the colour. Red Ombré would have been my second pick this year if funds allowed, the red looks so vibrant in all the pictures.

OK...I have been wearing this one around all morning and I can unequivocally say it is my favorite IH Heavy Flannel (I own eight other UHFs). It is the unique texture that is so interesting. The shirt feels slightly lighter overall, which makes it more versatile in warmer weather, and the slightly stiffer/courser exterior felt great on my walk this morning against wind gusts. The red/black colors almost appear overdyed as they are more muted than most UHFs...it is just a masterpiece of a shirt. Here are the pics, as promised! @stichdown-shell

@SaddleSC Thank you good, sir. Wow. I'm sold. I visually like the red ombre UHF better, but this fabric is on another level. So unique. Thanks for posting your thoughts and amazing photos. Big praise from a person who owns 8 UHFs. lol.

I'm ordering one now. Sizing seems consistent with most UHF so it's a safe purchase.

[schraiber]

Man this looks fantastic. I might have to figure out how to put this in the budget...

[SaddleSC]

@stichdown-shell Congrats! I am glad I could help out! I purchased the Green Ombre UHF in the Work Shirt yesterday as well. It is a beauty, but the Herringbone Slub is just so unique...the texture is what really seals the deal for me!

And yes...the sizing is very consistent with the other UHF Westerns I have...no surprises...love it!

I’m really glad there are a lot of these out there. I think I may go for it after the New Year.

If anyone’s undecided on the SHF, the material is totally worth it. It’s next level.

[SaddleSC]

One more pic for you guys that highlights the texture of this shirt vs a "standard" UHF:)

[doubletee]

Love this photo man and great to hear your thoughts on it. Got one coming and can’t wait

[LeDuc_RW]

Looks great guys, I like the muted worn in look. That anniversary UHF they did that was overdyed is my current favorite UHF. It has a similar old worn in look too. Have a feeling this one will be at the top as well.

[Mizmazzle]

I was just checking the workshirt version and it’s already sold out in all but a few mediums!

*edit: guess there were never that many to start with. Production issues. I do love a western.

Yes sir! That is exactly what it reminds me of. I have the 20th OD as well and the slightly muted worn in colors is very similar to the effect here. Bonus...the surface texture of this one is amazing!

[stitchdown.shell]

@SaddleSC Thanks so much for posting these as well. I'm certain I made the right choice now. Nothing like strangers online on a forum enabling me. lol. Cheers, man.

@stichdown-shell

He got to me as well … I think IH has him on retainer.

[stitchdown.shell]

@Brandrea lol I’m thinking he’s their Brand Ambassador. Definitely gets a kick back on every sale.

[jerkules]

This colourway didn’t really “speak to me” but I really hope this shirt is a massive success and we see an SHF or two every season. The texture looks bananas

@SaddleSC what a great fit, looks awesome man
