The inspiration for the first Iron Heart flannel?

@Tago-Mago now that has a good ring to it

@sabergirl MalibuBoy? Of the set that’s the one I want the most. What a beauty!

[sabergirl]

I think the pic was Corporal Clegg’s. But yeah, the gray is amazing! Wish mine weren’t a little snug—but I will never let er go @Anesthetist

@sabergirl I know how you feel

With all the new 9 oz flannels dropping, what was the initial OG 9 oz’er?

[sabergirl]

Good question! Maybe the IHSH-10? Or 12?

You do this:

But back then, people were not as obsessed with ounces as they are now, so we didn't really bother talking about it.

@Giles if I recall, it was more about the descriptors like shaggy or big check or metallic

[Giles]

Yeah, and I got myself all screwed up with naming too. What was to become UHF, was originally known as "Heavy Flannel", and then "Super Heavy", and then for a period we had an "Extra Heavy" that was not as heavy as what was to become UHF, so when we released and even heavier flannel, I had to think of something that was heavier than "Extra" or "Super', hence 'Ultra'.

The reason that the IHSH-01 is described as UHF, is that thread was created years after we actually released the shirt, and by then UHF was a thing.......

Totally, @Anesthetist . I have some of those early flannels (and covet others!), but they really varied a lot more in terms of weight, texture and brushing. I miss that, personally.

Big check, small check, Viyella check, shaggy etc etc etc...

[Anesthetist]

@Giles I love all those shirts. My first shirt was the 22 I believe which was the big check.
