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

      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

          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.

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

                  @Anesthetist @Giles I gotta go back through the archive and see some of these. I don't have all of my originals, but there are a few that I can't imagine parting with.

                    My very first shirt was a gray 59. I wish I had one of those that fit me, now.

                      @sabergirl I'm about ready to break out the 137. Spring weight, yellow and blue. This flannel has seen things.

                        My blue 137 is another one that doesn’t fit great any more, but it’s one of the best color ways ever IMO @StarsSuck

                          @sabergirl I suppose I should start prowling our marketplace for anyone getting rid of flannels that might not fit anymore 😉
