My IH rotation has gotten pretty deep—time to actually fade something. My first time competing.

Got the last xxl mwahaha!!!

I’m a dnd fanatic It will be my new dice bag.

@long_john86 lean in and rock the Wabash shirt as well, then go back to just the pants--the wife will be so happy you're not in the wabash tux won't mind the pants anymore lol

Mine was fading to white in some high friction areas this fall. Now that I’ve started wearing my lefty trucker jacket the shirt is absorbing indigo!

ok FOMO got me--I totally caved and ordered this bad boy from Self Edge, should arrive Monday! I've scoured this thread and I think I know what I'm getting into. @Oaktavia, @Kasi , and @Jcaz6996 I've seen many of your posts, value your opinions, and find your fade pics inspirational. This jacket is going to be my Everest I think and I look forward to the challenge: ) If the sizing is what I think, I should be able to wear it essentially like a shirt but then still layer it with some of my more tight-fitted hoodies. I'm committed to giving it the wear it deserves.

OK, I have to gush for a minute on this fannel, my very first UHF that I received a few days ago. I discovered Iron Heart in 2020 and upgraded all my jeans, vests, and denim shirts from the usual offenders (Levis...etc) as I slipped down the denim head rabbit hole. I adore fannels and have had a brand that I liked for years: a 75USD price point, cool patterns, tall fit with longer sleeves, polyester blend, and in fact, a nice brand ethos--but there's only so much you can do at that price point.

I always admired UHFs from afar, read every thread on the forum, and thought often: they can't really be that good...right? There's no way...

Thanks in many ways to the forum I've learned a great deal about garment construction since 2020 and it was very interesting to nerd-out and closely compare the construction of my old go-to flannel shirts to this UHF. Talk about two ends of the quality spectrum! The brushed cotton, the solid heavy-weight construction, the stitching, and so on are so top tier I completely understand the reputation these UHFs get now.

I went from 'they really can't be that good' to 'why the fuck didn't I get one sooner' so fast it broke the sound barrier.
Looking forward to many wears in this comfy bad boy. Guess it's time to gift, donate, and sell some of my old flannels : )

Here's my first photo on the new forum! I love this CPO. I wore it for the birth of my son last year when it was new. It will always be a special piece for me!

@Kasi Yeah, there has been a couple of Giles' fades that have pushed me over the edge to purchase, for example, the 18 oz vintage he wore to perfection. @AdamC my hats off to you for going up against him!!

Got one !!! Very cool idea

perfect fit!! @dublinpremium

I think your policy of reaching out to new customers regarding sizing is the gold standard as far as online shopping goes. My first few orders someone emailed and literally said "I measured this short and it is 23.75 inches at the chest. Just wanted to make sure..." I don't honestly see what else you could do.

that's a great setup! 25oz denim heavy bag would have been great for the punch fades lol

Damn man same here !!!
I went through similar weight lost and had like block or something. I’d Wear a size M even if it looked like shit cuz it was a medium lol
@FlavourFade

I went usual size with this one. All my XXL IH western shirts work for laying or just a tee— a real unicorn fit for me personally.

I’ll admit a few years ago I was stuck on tag size and for some reason ( psychological maybe ) I never deviated. Size charts are my go to now though : ). Looking forward to seeing what everyone does with this piece.

Got the last xxl mwahaha!!!

You can just tell there are epic combs to come ️️
