@Giles

I am doubtful the chap will have added the stamp. But he agreed I could post the photo he sent me!

@Oaktavia this is the answer. He showed me a screenshot of the email with IHUK explaining exactly that.

Replacement patch, not matching and happy to send it if that works. So the chap has sewn it on there himself.

Not heavy enough for my needs right now but I am now confident they’re legit. Just badly labelled.

Ah. Cracked patch on arrival, just seen a screenshot of the email chain and all adds up!

@sabergirl can 21oz be XHS? Seller says they’re over dyed slubby. They’re slubby for sure.

I want some heavy 666s in this size. So I’m investigating!

I’m in the market for some jeans. As always. This is off, right?

How’s £180?

Price drop to £215!

@cyclops blame The Bear! £99 RRP in the UK. They’re kinda cool shirts, but not £50 tees.

I was also disappointed by whitesville. They have great initial comfort, but not the longevity. I’ve tried a few times, but not for me.

The Red Tornado ones I got from AliExpress are my most worn T006 I think.

For comfort and fit the best I’ve ever owned is RRL. They seem to last for me, and when whitesville is £99 (UK prices) for two and RRL is £120 for two it’s not miles off.

Whitesville at £35 in Japan is different maths.

I should say I am open trades for 1955, 888s or 634 in size 34 21oz+, UHF westerns in large. Basically try me!

Are you wearing your UHFs in the height of summer? Do you find yourself putting two on if it gets a bit chilly? Well, then I have a solution for you!

As far as I can tell, this is the heaviest flannel ever made. Joint with only different seasonal releases from The Real McCoys.

Size 17, IH style measurements are as follows:
Shoulders. 19.5inches
Chest. 22.75 inches
Length. 27.5 inches
Sleeve. 25 inches

Boxy, work shirt fit. Beautifully soft flannel, loose knit, with incredible slubby texture.

Current season colourway is up for sale for £385.

£230 delivered in the UK, happy to ship internationally for cost.

@Jam_Shar thank you! I have ordered some this minute! Fingers crossed crossed they fit me!

@cyclops I have non stock, Bronson and Red Tornado tees. I rate them all as good value and nice cuts.

I will opt for non stock in future. They wash and dry well and I prefer their texture. Feel like the knit is more visible and has a softer hand whereas the other feel dry and sturdy.

@Jam_Shar how so cheap? I love these and have had some previously but felt a bit short for me.

@NickD for sure there is a value question. And there is some chunky profit for them.

Easy to pick stuff up on eBay or similar and some incredible deals to be had.

Whilst primarily made in the developing world, the quality has never disappointed me. It’s not stitch perfect like Freewheelers, and they aren’t as tough as Iron Heart, but I’d argue still very high quality.

I love the style for the same reasons I love Freewheelers more than The Real McCoys. It’s got a bit of sense of humour and drama to it. Plus, their use of high end materials delivers the heritage aesthetic, but with luxury feel.

@GraemeE Ampal Creative (my favourite hat manufacturer) has a Grateful Dead range right now.

I’m stoked I share a hat supplier with Mr Tweedy. Excited to see Wilco in London this summer.

@indigostiff I am very pleased, these have Danite soles on which are my favourite!

@goosehd I have farmer friends who have them and hate them. They are just not easy to replace with anything else. Fantastically charismatic beasts, but ostensibly terrible.
