Do most folks take their usual IH shirt size in these?

Can this be pimped with HD snaps? . . . copper would be the bees knees.

Raised whipcord or moleskin.  So 330 or 331, that's the question in my mind.  Hummm…

@Filthy - Thanks, much appreciated.  Those pics sealed the deal.

(my wallet shall never forgive you)

I've got the IHSH-247 in indigo . . .same blue buffalo check.  Trying to convince myself I don't need this UHF.  But the will power is starting to fade.

Anyone else have the 247 and this UHF and can comment if they're not totally redundant.

This flannel just arrived today.  As much as I am a fan of my other UHFs, this one might be tops.  And for one reason - the colorway is just so versatile.  Tried with various pants - indigo/black/dark grey jeans, khaki and OD green duck.  All winners.  T-shirts underneath?  Looks great with white, grey and black.  Even navy works.  Waffle/thermals?  Yep, looks great obviously.  It goes with just about everything.  Love that.

Well, that went smoothly for a UHF purchase.  Been looking forward to this one for months.

@Nobunaga:

Damn, had made up my mind on the western and then saw a pic of the work shirt on the IH IG story.  Now I'm undecided again which to go for. :-\

I'm going to let the measurements decide which one I get…this fabric works well in both cuts.

Ugh.  Just saw the restock alert and no Large available.

Will there be a restock on this one (in size L), or was this a one-and-done run?

Spent some time wandering through this thread today.  Loved hearing about and seeing the various parts of your last year…warts and all.  Just great stuff.

Any sense of timing for a restock?

Okay.  I’m not a patient person.

Managed to find an unworn 178 and struck a deal.  The shirt is a beast.  A glorious beast. Buttoned up with a T - good to go. Unbuttoned with a thick thermal over a T - also good to go.

And the overdyed buttons - good stuff.

So when I first saw this shirt on the IH site, I thought it looked fairly good, but wasn't really moved enough to pull the trigger and buy.  Then everyone started posting here after they received their orders, and were raving about it.  Then came the fit pics which looked really good.  So I figured I would grab one . .  . and, of course, sold out on IH in my size.

Managed to find one at a stockist (Franklin & Poe in Philly – 30 miles up the road from me), and received it today.  Just have to say (like others have said) that the pics don't do the shirt justice.  Just an excellent piece in person.  And the color way, coupled with the weight of the fabric, equals a really versatile shirt.  Will be worn often because of the versatility.  Exceeded expectations -- and I always have high expectations.  That says a lot (to me at least).

I saw on the SS21 release date page that a IHSH-293 is coming. Is that the 178 replacement?

Looks good with those muleskinner IRs.  Might need some duck in my life.
