IHSH-436-RED - Ultra Heavy Flannel American Check Western Shirt - Red "The Watermelon Man"

[caithangkhanh]

Do UHF stretch at all? I’m kind of in between a side Large and Extra Large. I need something with a 22” chest measurement and 19” shoulder measurement.

Size Large has my ideal chest measurement, but the shoulders are 0.5” smaller than ideal. On the other hand, size Extra Large has my ideal shoulder measurement, but the chest is 2” bigger than ideal.

Any input/siggestions?

@caithangkhanh go larger rather than buy something that fits perfectly on paper, would be my advice. A wash or two and there will be prob be a slight change. If it needs more change, increase wash temp. Perfect initial fit may end in tears

@caithangkhanh Go with the XL as the shirt may shrink if hot washed and/or dryed in a drier.

[cyclops]

@caithangkhanh i have the exact same problem. Let me know which one you end up choosing? Though i feel you need the shoulder to fit and put up with a wider chest?

@Subprime wow, this shot may have clinched it for me to get the watermelon too. The 20th UHF is my fav one in my rotation.

@caithangkhanh you're not going to get any meaningful stretch out of a flannel. Get the big one, wash it and it will fit the way you want.

[caithangkhanh]

Thanks for all the feedback! I appreciate it. Can’t wait to finally get my first UHF!

Cosmo is trying to wear all the watermelons

[Darth-fader]

it seems this one has been insanely popular as its sold out pretty much everywhere - just wondering what it is about it, just the colour choice or maybe the more muted/faded look?......or does everyone just love a bit of watermelon?

[flannel slut]

@Darth-fader yep, pretty much. It’s a very unique colorway but no different in terms of cut/construction.

[CosmoSix5]

@Denimhead-0 I bought one early from an eBay seller. Thinking I'd not be available at launch. Ended up with time. The sellers in Japan are notorious for not having what they have listed. So...... I grabbed one @IHUK and asked them to stack it. I got confirmation it was in hand and canceled the order.Thought about flipping it but that's not nice.

What’s the chances of a restock on this?

[AdamJ]

@j3butch1 we never say never to running certain colourways again but this will not be restocked for the foreseeable. Your best bet will be checking authorised retailers who carried this shirt. They are linked in the top post

@AdamJ Apologies if this is an inappropriate question (and fully understood if it shouldn't be answered), but can you say approximately how many of the watermelon shirts were made? With how quickly these seemed to disappear from all vendors, I'm really curious how many pink flannel weirdos are out there.

Plenty pink flannel fans it would seem! We try to gauge demand the best we can. Great to see all colourways being really well received this season.

@Abracadaver Real men wear red pink!
