….. Amundson is pretty nice, their extra heavy flannels as thick or thicker than IH I feel. Warm as well tricotine shirt is actually warm due to thickness The hoodie is very thick, substantial and no branding other than tine ues patch on sleeve- i like that. The n-1 just arrived. It just is built differently and a lighter weight and it just can’t compare to the substantial of the IH n-1. There’s no question that the IH one is bigger heavier and warmer and better constructed, but you could probably wear the UES one much more often in California than you could the IH.
The one thing across all of these that is universal is just the unique UES indigo blue color…… it is just such a terrific blue I don’t believe anyone has anything quite like it -

@jimcord I’m still heartbroken the hoodie fit too snug on me. Glad it’s found a good home!
You’re right though, their shade of indigo is really something else!
-
@jimcord awesome and thanks for comparing and for your thoughts, i will check the hoodie out!
-
Keep me posted, always cool to hear others thoughts about their and our purchases!
-
I picked up a hoodie and had to wash it first as indigo was bleeding everywhere unlike anything I have seen! Wore it with black for a few days, washed again and now bleeding like a normal worn piece. Already fading and super warm. Awesome piece
-
It’s almost too much isn’t it! Love the weight and fit of their hoodies.
-
Have you guys tried the Purcara sweatshirt? I thought i read somewhere its like the aspero cotton IH uses
-
No, but am curious as well….
Here is probably the most interesting and unique UES item i own….
After washing, it softens nicely . It has all of the features of a traditional blazer: double buttons, slit back, button cuffs.
-
@kojimastreets i too am interested in the 409!
-
@cyclops Yes, its really nice - soft and warm. A little different in design to my other sweatshirts too.

@jimcord ah bugger. After buying some IH flannels with aspero im now on the hunt for some. And UES isnt as pricey as others such a wonderlooper so its easier to justify

Their #7 indigo T-shirt has a beautifully rich navy blue too. Really nicely done just like the Tricotine.

The tricotine shirt I received is really nice. It has a lovely shade of indigo blue. It reminds me a lot of the 368 double cloth western shirt in terms of fit and overall garment weight. I had one of the UES acron pocket flannels are well and would defiantly buy another.

@FlavourFade hi there!
Lets see, the AMUNDSEN is somewhere in thickness between the UES heavy and their extra heavy flannels. It is very soft and easy to wear immediately, it drapes nicely and is simply comfortable to wear everyday. The fabric has a nice feel and some texture to it. What I love is the unique weave of the fabric that allow you see indigo, dark navy and some white in almost like a gauze like look one of my other flannels have this look and feel. As for the blueness……I just really like the UES blues, I think it is on par with TFH indigo flannels being dark yet vibrant at the same time. I think they will both lighten nicely with age.As for the Tricotine shirt, at first it feels a bit intimidating because it is very thick twill fabric. 15.5oz if I recall! The top half around the shoulder seams, the collar, the places were several pieces are joined together is when you realize how substantial this shirt is. I won’t lie, even though others enjoy a fade lines from wearing and breaking it in before they wash, I am not that guy, this shirt oozes blue , too much blue lol! I washed mine pretty early on due to not wanting to ruin leather seats, furniture, walls with blue. What I was surprised to find is that at first you feel like the shirt wears you instead of you wearing it but that is not the case. As you wear it, it feels like body heat loosens it up nicely and it begins to hang nicely. I never feel like I’m wearing a shirt that is so stiff that it is uncomfortable but you never get away from feeling like the shirt is substantial and I mean that in the best possible way. Again it is a terrific blue that’s gonna change with time and then it dawned on me when I keep saying how much I like the UES blue it’s because I like seeing what it looks like outside and sunlight, it is a very radiant blue. At least to me. I also think both of these shirts look terrific with my Iron Heart jeans as well as my duck pants from Iron Heart. Heck you can wear either of these with anything. I see milwork recently restocked this today. You should look into it.

@jimcord thanks for your amazing description. I will receive my Tricotine today if UPS makes it(already delayed) and I’m looking forward to wear this and my 295IB in a rotation for next couple of weeks.

been wearing the tricotine now for the last 5-6 hours in the house, car and outdoor with just a tshirt beneath. pretty warm this thing and in sunlight the indigo is really cool.
the size 4 (xl) fits me pretty well I guess, almost a slim fit style.sleeve and arm openings are the critical points here. what time around can you expect first fades? -
Just curious about the indigo that UES uses. Is it natural dye or synthetic?
