IHSH-442-SAX - 9oz Selvedge Flannel Check Work Shirt - Sax Blue

[indigo_fades]

@VegaS10 Man, we talk about it all the time. Living 5 minutes from the beach has its perks, but between weather and the cost of living I feel the mountains calling my name! I'm actually surprised this year it hasn't been too bad yet. Even got to wear my 361 today. I'm stoked to see what the temp limit for these lighter flannels will be for me. Hopefully I can make it in time for either the blue or the orange - I'd be happy with either. Hopefully there's plenty of stock!

@indigo_fades , my MIL just moved out of Wilmington to Fayetteville (she has family there), and I was super tempted to buy her beach house, but the taxes and HOA we're ridiculous.

I'm right outside of Asheville myself, and while everything is expensive here, there is some really nice hidden areas where the prices aren't that bad.

I'm still wearing my 14oz ib type 3 in the mornings into lunchtime. As i'm typing this, we have frost on the ground.....lol.

I'm pretty sure I'll be grabbing the SAX, as it can be worn a LOT up here.

Up here in the great white north, we’ve been blessed with cooler temps this spring … still wearing UHF’s

I think these 9oz are the perfect shoulder season shirts

@Shane-B I noticed that the measurements on the IH Germany site are slightly different from the ones listed here. Is that because you measure each batch separately and upload the average measurements?

[Shane B]

@Indigo-Alchemist The measurements have been removed, as they were incorrect. We use the same measurements as IH UK.

[Indigo Alchemist]

@Shane-B Many thanks — they work much better, so exactly what I was hoping for ️

[indigo_fades]

Happy to see the measurements taper down from chest to waist to opening on this one. For the longest, it seems like most of my IH shirts have had a wider opening than waist, but this one looks like it will sit just right around the hips without any sewing. Love it.

I noticed that there is no reference to this shirt shrinking up to half a size with washing like on past flannels, is this no longer the case?

[Jord]

@hound It's different from UHF's if that's what you mean, this has been washed to get rid of shrinkage, although I'd still follow their wash instructions

[nurunuru]

Pretty sure I've yet to meet a flannel that didn't shrink at least a little.

This is what the product page says......

9oz flannels have always had that info.....

If you want to shrink it a bit, then you can by washing aggressively.

[Rustygate37]

@Jord wait what, UHF’s are meant to shrink? I better never wash any of mine then

[Giles]

This is what we say about UHF's

[Rustygate37]

@Giles yeah I just read up on that. Spewin I never picked up on that important bit of info.
I suppose if I rotate the 6 I already have and never get them dirty, never wash em, stay slim, never drink beer, don’t eat choclate or go heavy in the gym I should be alright. I’ve got this

[Jaffy718]

Well, I guess I’m calling in sick Tuesday

[Brandrea]

@indigo_fades That’s a really astute observation .

[Gorbeh]

I saw the ironheart_jp_official ig showing a western in this colorway? Is that tues too?

[goosehd]

@Gorbeh no it is a Japan exclusive item.

[Brandrea]

How crazy would it be to order the 442, make sure the size works, and then send it back for a GA snap?

I understand that once you alter the shirt, you can’t return to IH if the size is a bit off … correct?

EDIT: understanding I’d pay the shipping etc
