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.

Thanks Giles, that edit answered my question!
I was hoping you'd be the one to answer

Like this but sort of in reverse...

@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...“𝑁𝑒𝑣𝑒𝑟 𝑙𝑒𝑡 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑓𝑢𝑡𝑢𝑟𝑒 𝑑𝑖𝑠𝑡𝑢𝑟𝑏 𝑦𝑜𝑢. 𝑌𝑜𝑢 𝑤𝑖𝑙𝑙 𝑚𝑒𝑒𝑡 𝑖𝑡, 𝑖𝑓 𝑦𝑜𝑢 ℎ𝑎𝑣𝑒 𝑡𝑜, 𝑤𝑖𝑡ℎ 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑠𝑎𝑚𝑒 𝑤𝑒𝑎𝑝𝑜𝑛𝑠 𝑜𝑓 𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑠𝑜𝑛 𝑤ℎ𝑖𝑐ℎ 𝑡𝑜𝑑𝑎𝑦 𝑎𝑟𝑚 𝑦𝑜𝑢 𝑎𝑔𝑎𝑖𝑛𝑠𝑡 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑝𝑟𝑒𝑠𝑒𝑛𝑡.”

I wouldn't say I was a big fan, I don't own any and never have. I do respect some of what they have done, absolutely. Their quality is good, but you are also paying for more of a high street brand's brand name with Visvim more than you are with the likes of PBJ/Fullcount/Samurai/IH etc
-
@Alex I could have swore you had listed Visvim as one of your favorite non-IH brands.
I've been unjustly judging you in my head for a long time now...

@jordanscollected ...almost time to put the foot in mouth quote back in your signature...

@goosehd I'll wait until it piles on a bit more.

@RobeOfTheMagi i don’t think particularly slow but more vintage vibes so less contrast. At least that’s what i would say! 14oz goes slower imo. But it’s just all how hard you go on them and what you’re after
