IHSH-155 - Ultra Heavy Flannel Check Crazy Check Western
-
Oooh, good first purchase. I have the black and it is beautiful. It’s a remix of an older, classic IH pattern and such a nice shirt.
Btw, funny forum handle [emoji6]
Ha thanks, not joined a forum in absolutely ages and this is the old handle I used to use way back when.
I’m pretty excited about receiving the shirt, the colours and style are totally my bag but having only ever read about how superior these UHFs are to pretty much anything else on the market, I’m hoping my mind will be blown! Sort of clothing I’m used to is Carhartt, Edwin, Patagonia, bit of Rogue Territory etc., but nothing near the level of IH.
As an aside, is there a thread anywhere for people to swap tips on how to persuade wives/other halves that purchases on IH gear is actually money well spent? Asking for a friend…
I own flannel shirts from 4 other brands and can objectively say IH flannel shirts beats them all when it comes to warmth. UHF’s are like wearing a thick blanket and the brushed interior helps retain heat. I only wear mine on the coldest of days.

I like the blue on yours @Mustafa911 much better than the blue I saw on the SelfEdge site. The white stripes on the shirt front on the SelfEdge pics don't help either. Congratulations, a great buy.

You may like it more, but it is not representative of the true colour

Got it…perhaps the infamous 'white balance' evil gnome of photography.
Thanks for clearing that up. -
This really reminds me of the 87 with a different colorway. Love it.
Was noticing how gorgeous the interior is. Brushed, it looks kind of like a horse blanket.

Yeah, the black looks great. It's almost stealth by crazy check standards, so gets lots of wear from me.

one of the best, i'm with you on this one @neph93 - it's on my want list. maybe i'll have the chance to get one one day but for the moment i think there are enough flannels in my wardrobe.

Interesting, as this was the one that led me to stop buying UHF’s and pare down my collection. This was so nice that I decided that while all UHF’s are lovely some are lovlier than others, and you can’t wear them all.
I haven’t bought one since and have sold off others so that I now have this, a purple/black buffalo western, one UHF workshirt and one UHF CPO.

So given the shrinkage, I’m a little unsure about size. May I ask, Giles would wear what size?

Hard Truth haha - I too like too wear what i have and not to store in my closet forever… one in one out is my rule to make space and bring some change in the rotation.
