This is my first flannel ever. Was never interested in flannels and even though I heard many say IH flannels are the best in the business they just never sparked anything with me. Even with the fall release video I probably just skipped the flannels section, because didn't care. Then after the watermelon starts shipping and I start to see fit posts of, I cannot believe it, it's just amazing and I need to get one.

Now that this one hit me so hard I had to go through a lot of the older release, just so I could understand that I wasn't buying into the hype. And that is the case, none of the flannels got me going except this and the pumpkin flannel.

Since I was super late with this release and it was sold out in whole Europe for my size Large, I couldn't really get one but kept on looking if angrysoulsmadrid would restock one because I they did for some other size.

I check angry souls madrid, and can you believe it Large is is in stock there as well! That's an insta cop and now I've had it for around week. There is just something about this. It has bit of that "ugly christmas sweater" vibe but also more orange/salmon color red that IMO is soo nice.

This was also one nice inspiration, so I knew it would nicely with green jacket:

@worn2fade Thanks for the intense story, that was fun to read. Even if the washing experience was nerve-racking, looking at the pictures you nailed the post wash fit!

@Yoprst You are in for a treat, 25oz should be right around the corner. But yeah I believe 19/21oz no plans.

@worn2fade Oh man, I was really enjoying your journey with the jacket. Was it the sizing being little on the relaxed size that made the decision of letting go of the jacket? What are you planning to replace it with?

I made python3 code for this, if you want to run, find online python compiler for example (https://www.online-python.com/) and paste the below code and run.

original_inseam = float(input("Original inseam? "))
hemmed_inseam = float(input("Hemmed inseam? "))
knee = float(input("Knee? "))
hem = float(input("Hem? "))

lower = original_inseam - 13
taper = knee - hem
tpi = taper / lower

result = hem + (original_inseam - hemmed_inseam) * tpi
print(result)

Not sure if this has been asked requested before but will do anyway. So I was looking for peacoat and when doing research of them found out that vintage ones used kersey wool before it was phased to melton wool (I assume due to cost).

Looking at modern peacoats there is no kersey wool option available. Even kersey wool jackets in general, I have noticed only one brand making them. From quick search I was unable to find out why modern kersey wool is not used, especially since what I've gathered it is basically superior to melton wool.

Thought it would be good to ask you guys since you make kersey cotton shirts and of course you have knowledge about these things.

So question why isn't kersey wool used in modern jackets? Would Iron heart make one out of it? For example the peacoat.

Interesting, there are still smaller sizes in stock at https://www.jeanswerk.ch/products/ih-634-xhsbb

Also for 666:

@Yoprst @twin possibly wears unsoaked, at least he does for the xhsib.

@Larkens Leave some indigo for the rest of us haha. Great stuff!

@Yoprst Probably even the thought of outsourcing was too much. Sounds complete opposite of what IH is all about.

@Denimhead-0 You are rotating pairs so much and still getting this much evolution. Amazing, keep on going!

@worn2fade I see, yeah good call on the length, it does make a big difference. Unmodified must be it then, if you prefer shorter length.

@Dion Noticed the northport beanie at a shop due to the big fold and softness like you mentioned and 100% wool. Had no clue about the brand, so didn't buy it immediately but after bit of research indicating they seem to make well made products. Went back and got the northport you mentioned. The big triple fold was what I was looking for, since I am really only looking for not having my ears cold.

@jerkules amazing!
