Excellent, can’t wait see more jackets and UHF flannels

I have a ues Tricotine shirt. This looks somewhat similar. Since it’s softer than the Dobby shirt would it also be softer than the Tricotine?

Also - how many indigo shirts does a man need, asking for a friend!

No one ever comments on my clothes, but my dentist and my doctor commented “that’s a cool jacket”.

Also not a bad jacket for hiking when it’s not too hot

…is really making my wallet hurt with SS26 and these dope releases. How is a man to choose between this and the Dobby summer shirt?! This one is epic tho

@Gavin666 agree on all points, great fit and cut. Part of why I gravitate toward heritage Japanese brands is the fit. For me being tall and slim, just about every American brand is not compatible (tbd on Freenote shirting). There are many other heritage brands with far worse buttoning, but I do think for the price, a more “premium” button may be warranted. The western snaps are very nice, I’m not sure if they are true mother of pearl but that would be cool if they could do it. Freenote does just hit it out of the park on many points but every brand has their quirks. Freenote doesn’t do hidden rivets for example, to me that’s a bummer

Excited to see how these compare to the 888. I let go of my SE 633s since the rise didn’t work for me, I can prolly make an 888 work but this looks interesting

That makes perfect sense, thanks for sharing!

@Giles i have a random question. I got both the purple western and the sax blue work shirt. The purple western fabric feels much “stiffer” and more substantial. Even the weight of the shirt is higher, presumably the snaps add some weight. They’re both similar but there is a that noted difference in the heft of each fabric side by side

Does fabric like this vary across color runs, like do certain bolts of fabric have variation? I’m assuming there is a weight tolerance at the mill. Just curious!

I’ve yet to lay handle on an uhf but the 9 oz does feel summerable because it’s not brushed. Much better than my flat head brushed flannels. It’s certainly not going to behave like a 5oz cotton or linen shirt, but it does breathe well

It’s so easy to second guess your size lol. Like I’ve got to Self Edge and validated that XL/42 is in fact my size across many brands but obviously the size chart rules all. Sometimes the measurements are hard to interpret when measurements fall out of your expected range

Nice. I got the xl in this one and to my surprise it actually fits damn near perfectly so I likely won’t need to shrink this piece, but I have another I might

@hippieflipflops said in IHSH-442-SAX - 9oz Selvedge Flannel Check Work Shirt - Sax Blue:

@Brandrea yeah I think I’m going to take a risk and go with medium. There’s still a lot of smalls in self edge. Worst case scenario and exchange it for a small one. Mediums seem to be sold out on most retailers. I have a medium Yellow ombré flannel that I managed to shrink damn near perfect.

How’d you shrink it?

@AdamC said in IHSH-439-PUR - 9oz Selvedge Flannel Check Western Shirt - Purple:

@deathbydenim We have triple checked and both charts are correct, so it is just how these have turned out

I appreciate you guys! I rolled the dice an on xl so we will see how she does

@ShopatIronHeart are the purple XL measurements borked or am I misreading, the XL chest is 46 total but the sax blue work shirt has a narrow chest and a narrower waist than that. Seems quite large

@Giles i appreciate the information and honesty! I really love the worker jacket pattern so hopefully you continue to release bangers with the pattern

Super torn on this one! I told myself my next jacket would be the modified type 3 but I really dig this herringbone fabric. I have the indigo version already tho

Truly a beautiful fabric. Having this in an even darker gray would be amazing @Alex

Couldn’t afford since I just got the workers jacket

I had a minor surgery yesterday. These shirts are the perfect recovery shirt and keeps you warm and toasty. Love it

@CosmoSix5 that look is fire. I dig the shorts!

I was just thinking about using this jacket as the summer months come through and this definitely looks shorts compatible

@V-P

Luckily for everyone I did order an L from a local retailer and it got delivered today! I’ll be sure to share when I get the chance. The comparison will be interesting
