I just wanted to share my IH slubby brown story even though it is not the western version. Over the weekend I went to visit my elderly parents and my dad was wearing a “affordable” flannel from Costco that he commented was not very warm, he gets cold easily, he is 95. Even with a undershirt and a old warn out vest it was not enough. I was wearing my brown slubby over a shirt nd I hd taken it off and was hanging on a chair. I mentioned that he should try it on so he could feel the warmth and weight that a IH flannel provides. I need to add that he is essentially blind, with less than 5 percent vision in one eye but he does what he can to make that 5 percent matter. As soon as I started helping put it on him I knew I was in a jam, he immediately said it felt really nice and I realized my beautiful, brand new shirt was rapidly becoming his! My mother commented that he looked handsome in it and he said Marianna (mom, 85), do I look handsome in it and she said “honey you look handsome in it”. Thats when I just smiled and accepted that my shirt that I said on this very forum that I feel for the guy who tries to stop me from getting in my way of this shirt. I just did not think it would be a 95 year old man who I respect and love dearly. So I guess my threat was more bark than bite. I love that shirt but nothing the feeling of seeing him wear that shirt all day looking and feeling like a million bucks. It found its true owner. It think it is so amazing how this brand makes you feel when you wear it. It is more than just clothing, it is a feeling. I did jokingly tell him that it was just a 7 year loan, I hope it is 8! I love this man.

Been meaning to post some pre/post wash measurements for you guys. One of the things I’ve grown to love about IH flannels is basically the ability to customize your size by how you wash. This particular shirt came in a little small for me in my normal large so I picked up an XL and did a warm wash and “some” machine dry. I think you can get the slubby flannels to shrink more than the standard UHF’s but that’s just my opinion. Nerding out but I love this stuff and hope it helps some folks when trying to size

@SKT thanks for that. It's helpful to see. It's pretty much the same as a large now other than the shoulders being slightly bigger.
