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

[goosehd]

@ARNC I’m further south than @Tago-Mago and Gosport…hard to believe. @neph93 will always take the honour of northern most mod…

We just have a bit of Arctic weather that likes to drop in rather frequently

[ARNC]

@goosehd well that’s me told! I always feel that Canada must be further north. Reuben is obviously more northern but he’s currently non-practicing.

@ARNC I like to think of him as moderator emeritus

@Abracadaver

Ohhhh… can we all guess? I’m gonna say 500 to 700 range. Closest gets the next watermelon that doesn’t fit Cosmo….

[goosehd]

…I don’t know, but I thought @AdamJ answer was pretty good.

@goosehd

Yeah, just joking around. I would not expect any small private business to divulge numbers, I certainly wouldn’t for mine.

[Remy5]

Whatever the number may be, we know there are still more pink flannel weirdos out there haha

[Gorbeh]

Got mine at Guevel today, they still have some sizes btw

[Ikeaparty]

Picked mine up from The Shop today, what a beauty of a shirt! Good fit as well despite my hesitations around shoulder width

I find it difficult to buy a larger size and just hope it will fit better after washing. I took a chance with a size L, mainly worried about the chest (108cm), but it actually fits perfectly. Such a nice shirt!

Any shrinkage in the chest area would probably be a problem, though. Is washing at 30°C with a 400 spin safe enough, or should I play it more safe?

[sabergirl]

If you don’t want any shrink at all, I’d say machine washing is out. Definitely not warm water. May want to just soak. UHF shrinks

@SashaDBZ

IMHO that chest can’t take any shrinkage, cold soap and hang dry. Fit looks spot on, really nice.

[PritchyRich562]

@SashaDBZ Do you usually buy a large in UHF or an XL. I usually buy a 3X! but I took a chance with a 2X and requested shoulders closer to 20! Hopefully I made the right call and we’ll know later today! Looks good on you.

Just got mine and it is gorgeous. UPS completely destroyed the shipping box and it was wrapped in massive amounts of tape so I was initially worried. Fortunately, the shirt appears untouched and has no damage.

This shirt is definitely not pink. Faded red or dark salmon is how I would characterize it. This rivals the anniversary and the turquoise as my favorite flannel. If you are still thinking about grabbing one of these, do it. As far as US stockists, Dant and BlackBlue haven't released theirs yet if you can't currently find your size.

[SashaDBZ]

@PritchyRich562 My first UHF. Next time I’ll size up to avoid shrink worries.

[Foamkiller]

It’s a beauty Clark!

Super stoked to get this one. This might be a tie with the Turquoise as my favorite flannel. Sized XXXL to accommodate for any shrinkage.

I ordered the 435 Blue a week earlier and UPS seems to have lost it as it’s in Warehouse purgatory in Newark NJ. I was worried about this one arriving so I purchased another sized XXL from FountainHead that should arrive Monday. I’m liking this so much, may keep both Highly Recommend this one
