Also - how many indigo shirts does a man need, asking for a friend!
All of them
-
Here’s mine with copper snaps… need to wear it more often, it’s a beautiful material/shirt.

@Jord looks amazing! This makes me want to get mine retrofitted
-
@Jord and @don_pipone how thick is the kersey? I know i can see the ounces, but does the hand feel thicker than an UHF? Or like a thick CPO? Anything you might compare this to?
Just saw Jord's brass upgrades, looks so good. But im now wondering whether i have too much brass with the several CPOs that i own
-
@cyclops It's a little "stretchy" is how I would describe it, I mostly reach for my UHF's, it's hard to describe and I'm sure I can't do it justice... but I would say it's a little less thick than a UHF but similar
-
@cyclops it's heavy. I'd wager to say it's heavier than a UHF. Unbrushed fabric of course. It drapes wonderfully. I have a gray jersey but it's to big so I don't wear it often. That's in the front of my mind ordering this one.
-
@cyclops they feel similar heavy. Let met put it this way, my wife started wearing my kerseys when it‘s cold. She used to steal my UHFs because they are like a „blanket“ and now prefers the kerseys.
-
@don_pipone haha awesome. Yeah i was thinking and measuring last night and was surprised to see ounce wise it sounded thicker than the UHF, so was thinking whether its more outer shirt vs shirt if you know what i mean. Looking forward to seeing it and handling it! Thanks guys

It is really hard to explain the feel of the Kersey. It’s warm, but very breathable. It’s dense but never feels restrictive. It has weight but I don’t think it feels as thick as UHF. It’s a beautiful shirt to wear. I ended up sizing down as I do like a more tailored fit. Regular size fitted well, but the size down looked almost individually tailored, so I went with that. I’ve worn it with a Thermal Waffle underneath and it’s lovely and warm. Wearing it today, open with a t shirt it’s comfortable in much warmer weather. I don’t know what witchcraft is going involved in creating this fabric, but I love it.

Thanks gents @don_pipone and @SiRockxx ! Now just gotta decide on brass upgrades! Jords picture looks amazing!

@Ral1121 It is something that has been suggested numerous times over the years and at some point, may come to fruition. There is only so much time available in the factories and it’s hard to balance the wants versus needs of what is possible.
Maybe someday…

@GoodtimeJohnny no, I am not.

Personally, I feel like the material is a little too stretchy and flowy for pockets. I think it needs a bit more structure, but I’m sure Iron Heart could dial it in and make it work if they wanted to.

@northsouthdenimguy valid point. I can imagine they would wear out and become baggy quite quickly.
