IHSH-43 Flannel Indigo Dyed Western Shirts

[madmonday]

yes it is.

do it doc 

[nameness]

are we interested in the bleeding to see what wear/changes it will show or because we wear expensive undershirts?

I've worn mine a couple times and didn't notice anything but I'd also had a bit to drink and honestly don't care about bleeding.  it's a shirt, I wear it.

I appreciate your analytical nature, doc.  buy it and drop some science…

[madmonday]

no my tees are not too expensive.  i did grab a bunch of tees from the outlier as is sale & they aren't too shabby.

just curious how the hell the shirt will give up that dye & those black buttons, will that black chip away to reveal something else?

if i could get over the buttons i would get this shirt, but i just can't get around or over the buttons

G did mention something about putting standard buttons, maybe i hit him up & ask him about it . . .

[nameness]

i was in the same boat on the buttons but once I saw it in person it didn't matter.  they're not painted over or anything, if they chip they'll just…  chip

[jacoavlu]

to change to round snaps was gonna be way too expensive
like $150 or something after shipping

[barun]

come on peeps, the buttons are sweeeet.  they add a little character to an already serious shirt

[DrPat]

I'm not worried about my t shirts but rather uneven fading.  I saw this a bit in the lower back on the od chambray.  It's most likely from sitting in a chair most of the day.

[Giles]

Yeah, but jeans wear unevenly, is that not one of the main reasons for wearing stuff that fades, it documents what we do…...?

[barun]

How are these shirts dyed?

[Beatle]

indigo overdyed , I think

[barun]

so they just dip them in a big vat of indigo dye?

[Beatle]

oh, not just dipping..it´s like a giant drum washer..

link doesn't seem to be working now, but there it is anyway

[barun]

Pulled the trigger on the red XL, finally.  After a long look at the both, I decided the red was just too unusual to let pass.  It's a strange bird.
Here's the pic that won me:

both great shirts.

[Finn666]

Any pics of the red shirt yet?…

[7tacos]

Mine's stacked for now.  I'd love to see a good outdoor, natural light fit pic of the red myself.  I think the one's on the site, and those I'd posted are fairly representative of the odd colors.  I know there's one other member running around with one.

I picked one of these up from Giles at the IH party over the weekend. My product review is rather simple…...

BEST FLANNEL EVER 

Soft, thick, comfortable, feels like you have owned it for years the first time that you put it on, great cut and completely unique.

[Finn666]

[Megatron1505]

I'll get some fit pics up at the weekend, unless any appear from the past weekend first
