IHSH-337-OD - Ultra Heavy Flannel Tartan Check Western Shirt - Green Overdyed Black

[Alex]

Chart is accurate to the product being sold (post overdying) and the staff wears is accurate, as they all tried one on before we posted the info

@Alex - thanks!
p.s - ah, the sleeves, i get it

[Andymac]

Damn it, wasn't going to but more shirts, but couldn't resist, will be really interesting to see the green coming through

@Ross @AdamJ Heads up guys, the pictures with Johnny wearing the shirt on the store page are actually him wearing the 343 work shirt version. Same goes for the preview when you mouse over the image on the New-in page.

Edit: and the same problem the other way for the western version: on the model-pictures for the store pages for the work shirt version Johnny is actually wearing the western.

Really excited to start seeing some “In the Wild” pics here soon!

@EdH fixed, cheers mate

Do you anticipate any dye transfer from the overdye? Same as a pair of jeans maybe?

[Alex]

I would expect some, yes. Probably not as much as jeans

I've been curious about these OD flannels, but haven't seen many photos of them after being worn for a while. Would love to see this with some wear

@indigo_fades that may be a question for @Oaktavia - which one was yours, and how is it coming along?

@tody you da man

Do these become more vibrant with wear -
As the overdye fades? Or do they stay pretty black?

[Gimli]

Okay bit the bullet and got one of the last ones from the outlet.
Sleeve length is great - means I can wear it and still do tasks without the cuff getting in the way. Tighter in the pits than the Military serge western I bought in the same size, despite the actual Pit to Pit measurement being wider. I guess this is to do with the armpits being up a little higher? Will it stretch a little with time?

It's pretty rough to the touch - not that luxurious feel I associate with the UHF (have only owned one before second hand). Is it worth a soak to remove some of the excess dye? Has a kind of chalky feel. If I do the soak, would wearing it damp help stretch to fit a little - like you can with denim?

Also the dyeing process has really thrashed the snaps - they are super dry/corroded and harder to snap on/off than usual. Should I give them a clean with something? The look is no problem, I just don't want them to fail.

Keen to see how this one evolves.
