      I don’t think I really answered your question so I would say the Amundson flannel and the tricotine shirt are two items that are distinctly theirs. Both have a unique texture and both have that beautiful blue.

        @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!

              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.

                    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.

                        @cyclops Yes, its really nice - soft and warm. A little different in design to my other sweatshirts too.

                          @cyclops they no longer use Aspero cotton, the new use a blend of uganda and zimbabwe cottons .

                            @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

                              @jimcord can you maybe write a little comparisson between the tricotine and the amundsen? I know one is flanell and the other not but how do they drape, fade and maybe differences in the cut?

                                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?

                                            Synthetic. The shirt would cost a lot more if it was natural and most certainly would be advertised as such. Also, it would fade crazy slow if it was natural.

                                            In the easy chair with my boots on, melted whiskey in my hand. Could'na been asleep for more than three hours...time to go to work again...
