IHSH-127-V2 - Ultra Heavy Buffalo Check Westerns
-
Love the Green:
-
The sleeves are a lil bit to long but after one wash it will fit perfectly!

Exactly. I love the new sleeve length too. All my shirts became a tad shorter with frequent washing so a little bit more length in the beginning doesn't bother me at all. Looks fine!

Red coming my way

I'd read somewhere on the forum, but can't find it now that @Giles was going to attempt shrinking the sleeves only.
Was this done successfully?

^ Thanks!

What kind of allowances do you guys tend to consider when choosing a size for this shirt?
I've noticed Giles opts for a XL over his usual L. Why for this shirt and the other UHFs?
I'm a chest 41.5
The L size almost seems like a bastard child but it's there and I'm not sure if I should go L or XL.

Sometimes it's just one variation in measurement that means G has to size up, and that variation may not be an issue for you. I think these came up slightly shorter than other shirts for example.
I check chest, then length, then shoulders. Generally I can go 57-59cm in chest, 75-79cm in length and 48-50cm in the shoulders. Anything outside of those parameters is likely to irk me in some way.

Probably has to do with the "internal volume" if there is such a thing. The fabric of the UHF is thicker, making the internal dimensions of the the shirt a tad bit smaller / tighter…
-
I can wear an L, but I prefer a looser fit on the UHF's as a general rule, plus I have a little leeway if I manage to shrink it….

same here but I also factor in sleeve length. I have a 38" chest so my range is about 22" to 22.5" chest for a size large. Giles is a few inches taller than me and maybe 10 lbs heavier so I can see why he'd need an xl in a lot of the UHF's. Some people size up and some don't.

Took mine on vacation because it was gonna be cooler weather.
Went to Iceland and greenland. Here's a picture taken in a small village in Greenland[emoji41] amazing trip and the 127 felt at home.

I have to say that i've started to warm up to the 127. I used to think buffalo check patterns were very pedestrian but the more I look at these the more I like them, especially the green. I call it the IH effect – if you look at something long enough it grows on you.

This is a thing.
Tbh, I own two buffalo checks, and while they seem simple in principle (regular squares, two tones), IRL the weave is gloriously textured and structured and lovely to look at as well as touch.
-
I think it's because buffalo check patterned shirts are so common in the US, which is why they initially didn't interest me. But, I like UHF's and the green version looks nice.

Size L. Boots (nearly 5 year old Alden tobacco calf plain toe, once resoled by Brian Truong) are a favorite of late, though I'm only wearing the right boot for the pic and am otherwise in an aircast for a couple more weeks. Jeans (pbj xx-020s) still feel a bit too skinny after first wash. Good thing marathon training will start back up in a couple weeks.

Yeah. I can't get over these ultra heavies. So great.
