IHSH-452-CAM - Ultra Heavy Flannel Work Overshirt - Overdyed Camel

[SamD]

Quick update on the 452, as the production model differs from the sample version previously shown here and in the FW26 preview video.

Now that the full run has arrived at IHUK, we can share some details and offer a comparison. Haraki-san wasn’t satisfied with the fabric finish during production, so the decision was made to overdye the shirts. Using the same colour dye as the original fabric has resulted in an overall richer shade on the face, with more definition in the twill pattern, while the reverse is now much darker. In terms of hand feel, the fabric seems slightly less crisp than a regular UHF, but is still just as hefty.

As far as I’m aware, we’ve never overdyed a solid UHF colourway before — so while this wasn’t originally planned, it does make this one quite unique!

Here are a couple of quick iphone pics for comparison; more colour-accurate studio shots will be online before the shirts go live.

@SamD nice!

It now looks a bit like duck? But might be the light - Can you side by side?

Will the overdue fade?

[SamD]

@will6er Even with the overdyeing, I wouldn’t say it’s anywhere near as dark as duck. The fabric still has the vibrant golden hue of the sample — it’s just a lot richer now. The guys will be taking colour-accurate studio photos in the coming days; it’ll be easier to compare against other fabrics when those are done.

As this is the first time we've tried this, it’s difficult to predict fading tbh. As with all overdyed fabrics, the top dye will not penetrate as deeply as yarn dyeing. But because it’s overdyed the same colour tone as the original yarns, any fading probably won't be hugely noticeable. It’s likely the colour will lighten slightly overall with repeated washing, but I wouldn’t expect dramatic contrasts to develop.

Weird AND cool! I think it looks great. Also like the idea of a softer hand from OD process

What retailer in the US will be carrying this UHF, if any? Trying not to miss out if I can't get it on the UK site.

@will6er seems a good comparison

[johnfredmurray]

@Tago-Mago Thank you

[CosmoSix5]

This material looks very interesting and the color is . Hoping a size down can make it a normal flannel for me.

[RubyRae]

That is a beautiful color and texture. Reminds be of the Fender tweed amps from the 50's. Looking forward to more photos.

[GuyForget]

Love the way the production team can pivot and make it work like we see here. Bravo

@CosmoSix5 did you get this cut last year? It seems really flexible - simplistically (obviously we don't have measurements) normal size = oversized which works well because of the hem or one down is similar to a work if I remember right. Either way it's a great cut just wish it had pockets (I like a pocket)
