    • RE: IHSH-235-GRY - 13oz Military Serge Western Shirt - Grey

      Just received this one. I think it may have been the very last one left in the outlet. Firstly; very impressed with the level of customer service. It's daunting buying things like this here in Australia with little option to try them out first. And I just have to be very careful about when I splurge on higher priced clothes.

      I was tossing up between this and the double cloth but I just couldn't get behind the sawtooth pockets on that one. I was a little nervous having seen the youtube reviews with a 2 year update saying it was still very stiff/bit uncomfortable.

      Well....I fucking love this shirt! I think I got lucky that it fits me just perfectly. Sleeves are long enough to go to my wrists when riding my bike to work and back but not too long to get in the way when doing manual tasks. Length in the body is great - as a shortie I don't like shirts to be too long. Sits well on the shoulders and nicely fitted at the chest without being tight on the pits.
      To my surprise it is damn comfortable from the start and will only improve I'm sure as it moulds to my body.

      Very happy that this thing can and will be a workhorse piece to wear and not be worried about getting it scuffed or dirty. No it's not cosy like a heavy flannell but it's great as a wind barrier and in place of a denim jacket if you're planning to wear one over a T-shirt only. Though it has made me very much want to get a UHF now!

      @Alex exactly!

      Seems to be a lot of things almost like this. But they feature waxed outer shells, or shearling lining which looks amazing but can’t be washed.
      Am amazed the wool sherpa line trucker/type 3 is so elusive.

      Update after a week of regular wear;

      It's already breaking in and moulding to my shape. The different cuff button options are handy and all useful too. Tested it over a wool thermal base layer and works well that way too. Have not tested it as a mid layer yet.
      I'll grant it's not cozy like a flannel and probably more limited as far as when it's just the right garment. The material probably is more suited to being the outer shell of a jacket.
      But top marks all round.
