The inspiration for the first Iron Heart flannel?
-
@Giles Wow that's cool!
-
So cool. I love everything about this brand, especially the people
-
That's a slightly different pattern, but very close colors. Super cool spot!
-
@Giles is the man. Coolest, most direct question/answer thread I've seen in a while lol
We're all pretty much just fabric nerds, huh?
-
Very similar but ever so different. Both are beautiful!

@Anesthetist just about the coolest pic I might have seen on the forum.
-
@sabergirl I THINK the only differences between them are the tags. It’s a cool shirt w a different hand than modern UHFs.
-
@Anesthetist might have another, not too dissimilar shirt to add to this little collection in the future....
-
@Ross I’m game
-
@Anesthetist I hadn't seen the original in years - I had it an one point in a size that wasn't quite right and sent it on its way. I got the rerelease in the proper size. What year was that?
-
Also remind me: isn't the hand of the old one slightly denser, more akin to a warehouse or UES unbrushed mid weight? I love the IH brushed...but I do long for them to do one, same weight, unbrushed for those of us that don't like comfort and prefer suffering in shirt and jean.
-
@StarsSuck I bought the IHSH-01 second hand so not sure the year but I think like 2009? 2010? Maybe @Giles has a better idea
-
@StarsSuck you’re right about the fabric, def more dense and feels heavier. I’ll try to get a pic later
-
@Anesthetist I can see a bit of the inside in the pic you posted. As I said, I'd love of IH did a midweight like that again: unbrushed, thinner, and dry, just like my hair.

It was a 10oz flannel rather than a 12oz, which we now use. It was then overdyed post construction to increase the density of the fabric (which we also did with the anny, but that started off as 12oz)
