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.

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)

@Giles there were quite a few really wonderful pieces from this era as I recall, and a couple of mine are still around. There's a grey-dominant with white/blue brushed uhw that I think is from maybe 2013, and a Triple works lightweight indigo herringbone western that's possibly earlier than that. You lot started hitting homerun after homerun and I've been following the seasonal drops ever since!

[Giles]

These?

So maybe the IHSH-01 was earlier than 2010. I just went on when the thread was created, but in the early days we created threads for stuff retroactively to try and complete the story....

@Giles hah! Yeah that's it. IHSH-11...that was a while ago. I'm impressed it still fits as that shirt has seen me through my entire 30's and into my 40's.

[StarsSuck]

@Giles and you know what? I misspoke. Mine is an indigo glen plaid, not the herringbone. Though I did have that shirt ages ago as well!

@Giles i wore the hell out of mine but it sadly became too snug and went to @Matt I think. I would absolutely LOVE a heavier IronHeart version

[Matt]

I have it. It’s great.

[StarsSuck]

@Giles that's the one! An epic shirt to be sure.

[Matt]

It’s a little snug one too but there no chance of ever finding another one so…

[StarsSuck]

@Matt it's glorious! 3W had some real heat back then.

Did a small just hit grailed??

[sabergirl]

That’s an 04 @jfk1117 . The tag is black. 01 has a white tag. Good find if it fits ya!

[StarsSuck]

@jfk1117 beautiful! Wasn't that part of a trio at one point? I seem to remember a green and a black. Both of which are in my closet I think

[StarsSuck]

Upon reflection, I think I'm thinking of the 117. One of the pros here can confirm

[sabergirl]

The third color way of the 04 is unobtanium gray! An all-time fave of mine. Here’s the trifecta from another user in the product thread.

[sabergirl]

107 is similar, and had red, black, and green variants @StarsSuck . Also a classic.

[StarsSuck]

@sabergirl that's it. I was close. Of my entire collection of new flannels, this oldie is my wife's fav:

[sabergirl]

I love the 11, too. Your wife has good taste, @StarsSuck . I’ve got the green and red color ways of that one, but not the blue (yet).
