@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

@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.

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

[Mizmazzle]

@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)

@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

[jimcord]

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.

I picked up one of UES’s 16oz double honeycomb thermals in Beige. It’s really soft yet hearty and thick with a great hefty collar.

Props to another brand that makes some great pieces.

@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.

@jordanscollected I got a white one of those and it’s my wife’s favorite shirt on me. That’s the best compliment I can give it.
