        @goosehd if you want to dip your toe into a Dehen style cardigan at a lower price point, check out North Sea Clothing. Similar styles made for inclement weather. They restock their core items regularly and have a sale each year.

          I love this vest (Fleurs de Bagne) but the zipper is crap. Where can I get some heavy brass, IH-shit like? @Giles

                @endo do you have a tailor locally that could swap easily? Not sure what @Giles was thinking, but I am sure Steve from SB could source you a zip and we can stack it for you until needed

                    Any indication of a size on the existing zipper? Normally they are numbered?

                        That looks like a 1 to me, but certainly enough to work with. @giles i'll message steve unless you have a better idea

                              @Heavy_blue I assume you already know about the ih 1600 and merz 2s14 and consider those too heavy. If that's the case, I agree with @T4920 that TFH 9oz are a great "mid to heavy" option. Another in that category, albeit slightly lighter with a more conventional tshirt feel, but still super luxe, is the unique garment 7 oz airy t. Every time that one finishes drying, I seem to wear it within a day or two. It's always either on my body or in the hamper or drying. A good sign, I think.

                              Also agree with @Mizmazzle that warehouse 4601 slub/shadow is amazing and gets better with time (as horizontal texture materializes). However, these are totally different from the ts discussed above. Almost like comparing slubby denim to 21 oz. Those above are smooth and sleek. This thing is full of texture and lush.

                              If you're ok with the t not being loopwheeled, the new heavy weight samurai workwear ts with the logo on the pocket are quite nice too and similar weight range as THF 9oz and UG airy 7oz.

                                @68degreesorless thanks mate! Really appreciate it! I love my Merz 2s14 and the IH tees in 7,5 and 11oz but i’m looking for something lighter. Will definitely try TFH ones those look cool

                                  I love my Utilities. Lighter than the 6.5 oz tee and better fitting. Plus there’s a bundle deal.

                                        Since the weather has started to pick up, what Oz of shirt should I be looking for British summer please?

                                        I have already washed my UHFs and packed up for next winter.
                                        Will the 9 oz be unbearably hot when time comes in June July time?

                                          @oblivion-sila it’s all down to individual tolerances. If you don’t wear UHR past April, then 5-6.5oz sounds about right.
