@NickD fullcount makes a pretty solid white work, might be best option for now

@NickD looking good Nick! Yes like that! A crisp white work shirt!

I am going to send positive energy( i am a Californian lol), it will remove the indigo

Carbona color run remover!

Everyone should own the Carbona strain removal products! They are available at Amazon or at Walmart. They make very specialized , individual stain type removers. And affordable ! You can the whole set for around 35 bucks

If I have missed seeing this, I apologize…..i want a IH white chambray work shirt, both a summer weight and a med/heavy weight. If anyone has a good option, please let me know.

@MSav32323 glad to see I have another brother who’s part of the UES trifecta! I tried to get their indigo polo shirt, but it’s sold out in size 6 , next time!

@FlavourFade the Amundsen is probably the most practical. Wearing it is like a favorite familiar shirt, soft, warm, cozy. Not every day should have to feel like work to wear and break in. In case I find one…..what size are you in UES, 1,2,3,4,5?

@FlavourFade hi there!
Lets see, the AMUNDSEN is somewhere in thickness between the UES heavy and their extra heavy flannels. It is very soft and easy to wear immediately, it drapes nicely and is simply comfortable to wear everyday. The fabric has a nice feel and some texture to it. What I love is the unique weave of the fabric that allow you see indigo, dark navy and some white in almost like a gauze like look one of my other flannels have this look and feel. As for the blueness……I just really like the UES blues, I think it is on par with TFH indigo flannels being dark yet vibrant at the same time. I think they will both lighten nicely with age.

As for the Tricotine shirt, at first it feels a bit intimidating because it is very thick twill fabric. 15.5oz if I recall! The top half around the shoulder seams, the collar, the places were several pieces are joined together is when you realize how substantial this shirt is. I won’t lie, even though others enjoy a fade lines from wearing and breaking it in before they wash, I am not that guy, this shirt oozes blue , too much blue lol! I washed mine pretty early on due to not wanting to ruin leather seats, furniture, walls with blue. What I was surprised to find is that at first you feel like the shirt wears you instead of you wearing it but that is not the case. As you wear it, it feels like body heat loosens it up nicely and it begins to hang nicely. I never feel like I’m wearing a shirt that is so stiff that it is uncomfortable but you never get away from feeling like the shirt is substantial and I mean that in the best possible way. Again it is a terrific blue that’s gonna change with time and then it dawned on me when I keep saying how much I like the UES blue it’s because I like seeing what it looks like outside and sunlight, it is a very radiant blue. At least to me. I also think both of these shirts look terrific with my Iron Heart jeans as well as my duck pants from Iron Heart. Heck you can wear either of these with anything. I see milwork recently restocked this today. You should look into it.

@Oaktavia Savage! That coat was made for you brotha!

What a beauty!

@cyclops they no longer use Aspero cotton, the new use a blend of uganda and zimbabwe cottons .

@kojimastreets i too am interested in the 409!

No, but am curious as well….
Here is probably the most interesting and unique UES item i own….
After washing, it softens nicely . It has all of the features of a traditional blazer: double buttons, slit back, button cuffs.

It’s almost too much isn’t it! Love the weight and fit of their hoodies.

Keep me posted, always cool to hear others thoughts about their and our purchases!

I don’t think I really answered your question so I would say the Amundson flannel and the tricotine shirt are two items that are distinctly theirs. Both have a unique texture and both have that beautiful blue.

….. Amundson is pretty nice, their extra heavy flannels as thick or thicker than IH I feel. Warm as well tricotine shirt is actually warm due to thickness The hoodie is very thick, substantial and no branding other than tine ues patch on sleeve- i like that. The n-1 just arrived. It just is built differently and a lighter weight and it just can’t compare to the substantial of the IH n-1. There’s no question that the IH one is bigger heavier and warmer and better constructed, but you could probably wear the UES one much more often in California than you could the IH.
The one thing across all of these that is universal is just the unique UES indigo blue color…… it is just such a terrific blue I don’t believe anyone has anything quite like it

Is that Johnny and June I hear singing in the background……legends.

I agree, Patagonia makes some great stuff, most importantly,I appreciate the founders business ethos. Luckily, I live near the Patagonia outlet store In Santa Cruz, CA.
