@Oaktavia I had my fingers crossed too.. patiently waiting for the purple ombre to come back ️

purple ombre

I have the one that was a collab with Fallen Acorn, one of my favorites. Hope you can grab a purple too!

[DeeDee85]

@Oaktavia one day would love to see some pics of yours as we head into winter!

Got my wife the Fallen Acorn UHF when they dropped. It’s damn fine looking.

[DeeDee85]

@Mizmazzle really hope they re-run it one day.. I think my denim shirts out number my flannels 2 to 1 so I’m hoping for some interesting colours to drop to even the ratio out

@DeeDee85 also it helps to be on the lookout on sites like ebay and grailed. I have found about half of my UHF collection on secondhand sites as I am picky about patterns and colors that I like.

[DeeDee85]

@Oaktavia thank you for the heads up! My flannel collection has been relatively slow off the mark compared to how fast I accumulated denim.. at the minute I have the 9oz green ombré, red buffalo check uhf and last winters blue tartan check uhf. The upcoming orange slubby and a purple ombre will be my next two, no matter how long I have to wait for the purple will you be getting any from this season?

[Oaktavia]

@DeeDee85 Nice! I am trying to not buy any more shirts. I have more than I can wear now...with eight UHFs plus my other shirts. I do not need any more. We'll see...I really just want to put some wear into what I already have.

[DeeDee85]

@Oaktavia I can understand that very well.. I’m concentrating on wearing around 4 and have quite a few sat in the drawer unworn. If everything goes to plan we’ll be moving house soon so I’m currently trying to figure out which ones I can possibly live without and sell to help with the move

This is me as well…although I may not be able to resist one of the corduroy shirts

@DeeDee85 the good thing is, we have a fantastic space to use here on out B/S/T forum.

This is me 1000% but with jeans. I have enough pairs that if I ever wanted to get proper, really good looking fades on each, I'd probably be looking at a decade. I've got a little stockpile of unworn jeans all queued up, so resistance for me has gotten to be a key practice. It's tough as hell though haha.

[Oaktavia]

@popvulture the hardest part is looking into my wardrobe and knowing I won't wear a few items anytime soon AND knowing there is just no way I can sell them either.

[popvulture]

@Oaktavia dude, I absolutely know this feeling

[WhiskeySandwich]

@Oaktavia DUDE, the struggle is real. I generally stick to a rotation of two pairs for any given season but occasionally I'll bust out either an old well-faded pair or a new pair just to scratch the itch. Shirts have to rotate a lot more than jeans, but i do try and double up on my fadables.

[WhiskeySandwich]

@Oaktavia tbh i was really psyched about some cord shirts and i really do like the look of the upcoming ones, great colors - but I had in mind the type of corduroy like the recent restock of type 3s in a finer wale. The fat wale with its extra luxurious velvet looks a bit much for me on a shirt.

I try to stick to two pairs too in a rotation but that usually means I wear my main pair five days a week and my side pair only two. I try to wear the same jacket or a shirt and rotate similarly.
