      @Brian Did you get a decent amount of shrinkage after first wash?

        @bluemantra not that I noticed with them but I just cold wash with no spin most things really and hang them to dry the weather here sometimes they dry within the hour other times it takes overnight

        Just found the whitesville to be on the smaller side sizing wise

          Is there anymore broken twill coming down the pipeline?
          I know it was made into the zip jackets but what about a type 1, 2, or 3?

                  Is there a thread for gear that has been messed up by not being correctly taken care of? I messed up my IHSH-330-BLK, my first IH product. A few months ago it found its way into the washing machine with a lot of other clothing and has been spun vigorously. Now it's got white steaks all over. Not quite sure whether I should try to get in all in the same shade of grey.

                          @RobeOfTheMagi I had something similar happen to my 235-BLK.

                          Now I just throw it in the wash with zero care every couple of wears, and it's taken on such a unique character of its own as a result!

                          Try not to think of it as messed up, it's all a matter of perspective ✌

                                I'm curious, and unsure exactly how to phrase this question, but can anybody explain the differences in weaving methods that lead to the patterns on IH flannels to be visible on the inside and outside of the fabric, but not so on a flannel such as this one by Visvim?

                                I assume it's akin to the idea of warp/weft yarns in denim twill, but confused as to why more of the white doesn't show through on the outer face of the fabric.

                                  I reckon that Visvim flannel is a double weave....I think it is a twill on the face and a plain weave on the reverse.

                                    @Giles as in, two layers of fabric sewn together, or like the 10oz Sawtooth one IH dropped last season?

                                          @Giles any experience with Visvim?
                                          Eyed this on eBay, and thought it looked nice.
                                          Based on the price point I'd assume it to be top quality, but you can never be sure...
