Just got this puppy! We are waiting on the results of a DNA test but the rescue thinks she is a Border Collie/Lab mix. I also see maybe some Heeler or German Shepherd.
She is sweet, playful, and very smart. Potty trained her in just a day, already knows sit, crate and place commands. She is going to be a great dog.

6 weeks old when she was brought to my local rescue. Ears still floppy

8 weeks old on the day I picked her up last weekend

*EDIT DNA TEST RESULTS!
61.3% Australian Cattle Dog
26.9% Siberian Husky
11.8% German Shepherd Dog

This pup is going to have a ton of energy as she grows up!

Just got this delivered today. Amazing jacket with some unfortunate sizing issues for me. I am 6 ft 185 with a 43" chest. I went with the XL (my UHF size), but it is too big in the chest and way too big in the waist and opening, but pretty good in the shoulders and perfect in the sleeves and length. The problem is that the sleeves on the L would be too short for my arms. Since these sold like hotcakes, maybe next year they will come back with a more reasonable chest/waist/opening width and a normal sleeve length.

I love the colors on these but I have a question. Are the vertical stripes placed differently on each individual piece (as opposed to by size)? For example, the sample shirt in the photo looks to be a size Large and there is a noticeable gap between vertical stripes down the middle. Is this totally random and a piece-by-piece kind of thing? The vertical stripes really pop out.

To compare, the sample shirt (same size L) for the work shirt version is more balanced, which makes me think it's a piece-by-piece thing.

Thanks

Thanks, I took the plunge. It was nerve-racking but turned out alright.

I thought it was possible to only use this as a shell over a hoodie, but the sleeve opening is too tight as well. It made it difficult to take the jacket off over the hoodie, as it gets stuck at the wrist. For next time, please consider making it a normal sleeve opening so that the buttons can be functional to cinch it down if needed.

Ok, thanks. Maybe I'll get some in at the Self Edge store near me so I can check it out first.

Would love to see this one come back.

I'm glad this is going to be restocked. I hope I can find a good one, though. One of the reasons I haven't pulled the trigger on an Iron Heart flannel yet is because IH seems to be the only of the main high-end Japanese heavy flannel brands that doesn't line up the checks/lines. I really don't know why. It would really improve them visually. Hopefully, Self Edge gets some in so I can see the options before purchasing one.
This is what I mean by 'lining up the checks/lines'

@sabergirl She's a rescue found with her brother on the streets of central LA. I do the DNA test with mixed breeds just out of curiosity and also for training purposes. No matter what the mix of breeds are in her, she is 100% good girl.
