@Sir_Cuffs-a-Lot that’s a nice looking flannel. Is that their heavyweight model? Think we’re both a size L in UHFs…what did you go size wise wit the UES? 4 or 3??
I’m always weary to order direct from UES due to not knowing my sizing with them. But they def have some nice stuff.
I have four UES shirts (two heavyweight flannels, one extra heavyweight flannel, and the traveler shirt). I am 5'10" 170 and, as you know, I wear Size L IH Westerns. All of my UES shirts are Size 3...they have a really nice tapered fit...almost like a hybrid between a work shirt and a western with the acorn pockets.
I have purchased from both ISP and Franklin and Poe...that is your best bet. I have heard that ordering direct can be a much longer, more involved process.
The quality is great...I highly recommend!

@Mizmazzle UES appears to have two flannel models. A Heavy Flannel in 14.5oz weight with 'acorn' pockets, and an Extra Heavy Flannel in 15.5oz weight that Sir_Cuffs-a-Lot has above. I own both models and there is a significant difference in weight between the two. 15.5oz is super nice and thick! IMO, compared to IH UHF, a small in UHF is equal to a size 1 in UES Flannel. An IH UHF medium is equal to a size 2 in UES. Best to see their measurements on the website to be sure. Highly recommended.

@Jbailla2 I have the Indigo Stripe heavy flannel and love it...it is like a flannel version of the IH Wabash. I expect it to fade quite nicely and it is certainly more comfortable than the crazy stiff Wabash fabric:)
-
@SaddleSC That's on par with my size recommendations too.

@flannel-slut that N1 looks majestic.. everything about this fabric screams class

Acrylic lining though..
something about that material that makes me uncomfortable... I had a cheap Acrylic sweater as a teenager from Levi's that would squeek in such a horrible way when stretched slightly, gave me the same unpleasant sensation as running your nails down a blackboard!In a way, it was my distaste for that sweater that led me to better quality clothing...
So thank you Acrylic for bringing me Iron Heart

@Mizmazzle thanks, dude! I have two pieces from UES, that flannel and this wool hunting jacket, both in size 3. I’m also around 5’10” and 170. The hybrid description of the flannel by @SaddleSC is spot on - great shirt, no doubt.
-
@T4920 great spot on the acrylic man. I can resist in peace
-
@T4920 The acrylic killed the UES N1 for me too, brother! I was watching Josh's launch video over at ISP and was hovering over the buy button and then he got to the collar + liner material. The good news it, that sure makes it a lot easier to resist!
The lack of other "nicities" that I have come to expect with the IH N1 Deck Jackets also lessened my enthusiasm...
The Tricotine is KILLER...but I will wait until next year and hopefully Iron Heart will do another Indigo N1!!!
-
I was surprised by that liner material myself. I can see it making sense for those in not so cold climates though. The Iron Heart N1 jackets are very warm.
-
@T4920 I haven't compared measurement charts but IMO, the tricotine fits similar to a UHF work shirt cut and slightly fuller in the chest and shoulders than a western cut. I'm in between large and medium on UHF westerns (mostly prefer large these days to avoid button pull), mostly a medium in UHF work shirts and went with a medium for the tricotine... one of the few shirts I did not second guess if I sized correctly. Hope this helps some.
-
@flannel-slut Yeh large is probably the right choice, but it's suddenly sold on Redcast between me checking earlier and now...
Maybe next year!

Stole this from @flannel-slut when he wasn’t looking….
-
@Sir_Cuffs-a-Lot hahah awwwwe shiv!!
-
Love the colour
-
@Sir_Cuffs-a-Lot Nice cap, buddy. Where do you get your UES stuff? I"m a big fan of the brand.
-
@stichdown-shell thanks dude! Here, there, and everywhere…. The cap and coat I snagged from Iron Shop Provisions in the States, a couple flannels from Brooklyn Clothing in Calgary, and the Tricotine was a forum purchase
