@Denimhead-0 how do you find the 14oz kersey to compare to the tricotine in terms of weight, how they drape, and warmth? Obviously the handfeel is totally different, but curious about other thoughts in general.

@edgarallanpoe I do indeed. If the Tricotine is anywhere close to my UHF, I’m going to be happy.

@Denimhead-0 any white surfaces in your house better watch out!

️But therein lies the issue. It's sooooo different in feel that you can't compare the two. You can compare the weave and when you see how absolutely tight and close the weave is on the tricotene you start to understand just how different the material is. I don't know anyone who is lucky enough to grab one of these that isn't in love with it. Good luck brother...if you see one, don't hesitate, grab it. You'll be happy you did. Oh...and make no mistake, the UES UHF is not a tricotene. I just used the UHF comparison so when you see the UHF next to the tricotene you have an idea of what the difference is.

@edgarallanpoe I think I’m more confused now haha but thank you for your effort. I am for sure buying a Tricotine as soon as humanly possible. And an Untucked!! Both grails I’ve been salivating over every time I see em on this forum.

@pechelman I haven’t really worn my Tricotine yet. Only trying it on a few times (this fall is it’s time finally!)
But my initial take on your question is that Kersey is a tighter, warmer/ less breathable weave. Weight wise, the Tricotine is thicker and heavier, but seems to be a bit more breathable. -
Kersey isn’t as comparable a fabric to a corduroy imo. the Tricotine appears most similar to close up pics I’ve drooled over when looking at the ihsh-64 thread. like a thick Jersey material that somehow drapes softly yet behaves like a twill in that it still holds stacks/creases for fades and roping

Tricotine feels more like a Shacket vs Kersey more a comfy shirt. Tricotine warmer for sure

@flannel-slut yeah. It’s got a lot of similarities to a 64. The 64 has a smoother hand feel on the outside and brushed (like a low loft bath towel) on the inside. Where the Tricotine is not brushed and has the same hand feel inside and out. The Tricotine is a touch thicker than the 64…but the rigidness/ softness factor of the two are close with the 64 being softer (like an IH sweatshirt cut into a western)
In the easy chair with my boots on, melted whiskey in my hand. Could'na been asleep for more than three hours...time to go to work again...

@Denimhead-0 interesting you find the Tricotine warmer. I found my kersey to be really warm due to the tight weave. Almost as warm as a UHF for me. I kind of chalked it up to low breathability.

@Mizmazzle one day 64. One day.

I haven’t worn it during winter cold so, I may be wrong. Small sampling size during a few cold September days. Feels warmer for sure.
-
@Denimhead-0 yeah. I need to wear my Tricotine more. I just remember my gray kersey western being crazy warm. The cuffs were tight and the weave tight. Think that trapped a-lot of heat.

I think I am good on indigo work shirts for now
@goosehd, @seawolf and I shall discuss how to deal with this kind of crazy talk

I love this brand as well, for me the big three are Iron Heart, the flat head and UES. I think they’re flannels are terrific, I like their summer shorts and recently I picked up of all things a denim blazer that they made you hardly ever see anything like that and also they’re double weave shirt is pretty cool and yes, I will be adding a tricotine when I can grab it.

@jordanscollected those are super nice. I had one in black but it was way too big on me. Couldn’t get it to shrink enough to make wearable so had to move it on.
UES quality to price point is hard to beat. -
The Tricotine and Mustard flannel in action this weekend.
