Got mine today and all I can say is "wow". Now I see what all the fuss is about. First impression when I took it out of the box was...damn this is heavy. IIRC it is supposed to be a 15.5oz fabric but I have several flannels in the 12oz-14.5oz range and they are nothing like this. The closest thing I can compare it to would be a cross between an extremely heavy twill and a flannel. It's totally unique so that's really the best I can do. I am 6' 205lbs and the size 5 is perfect for me, not quite as much room as my XXXL IH workshirts but not snug, plenty of room in the chest and body. I'm not a fan of form fitting clothes so take that into consideration. Here are some pics of it on me, for color reference I am wearing IH 17oz 888 in natural indigo with one wash. The fabric pic should give you a better idea of what the fabric is like...the looser weave on the top is a UES Heavy (14.5oz) flannel in indigo. The bottom fabric is the Tricotine, you can see how much tighter the weave is. I do have one small complaint about the shirt but it's a complaint I have about most of the Japanese brands...the sleeves are a tad too tight. I'm not a big man with big arms and these sleeves are definitely some of the slimmer sleeves I have in my closet.

@Mizmazzle The answer is both. I have the Amundsen and want to get the selvedge heavy flannel. It's a disease.

Damn you all. In for one from Iron Shop Provisions

You won't regret it, it's a special piece and ISP is a great store...love those guys.
-
@edgarallanpoe I agree ISP is excellent.
@Buckeye which size did you grab? I was messaging with Josh from ISP last night to see what the stock looked like and he told me he only had 1-2 size 3s in stock. I was at the computer and ready to go when the clock struck 9....after I got a size 3 that size was sold out....i'm curious if there was only one in that size after all... -
@Mizmazzle hey! I’m an XXL in IH, and went with a size 5 given the advice above regarding shrinkage!
-
@Mizmazzle yea!!!! Finally.
-
@stitchdown-shell haha. Seriously. I’ve got a lot on my fade plate now!!
-
Trick or Tine?

Certainly not a burden for the faint of heart. Forum members aside could not handle this responsibility
-
@flannel-slut it’s like Uncle Ben said, “Everyone should have rice in one minute.”
And his lesser known quote, “with great power comes great responsibility.” -

Damn...Blue Owl sold out in the Tricotine super fast. This is one popular garment.
Wow...that was fast. Sorry bro, thought you would get one from them. I'm looking at the Amundsen just so I can have all three, the flannel, the tricotine, and the Amundsen. But that price is a bit much right now so I'll hit the UES site every now and then to see if they will get a restock.
-
@edgarallanpoe I was indeed able to get one from Iron Shop. Phew. Ok…no more shirts for a loooong time!!
