IHSH-72 - Ultra Heavy Buffalo Check Western Shirts

[Friday]

@thomasnunnally:

Tried to get my wife to go for a lumberjack themed photo session for our last meeting with our wedding photographer…

I obviously lost, but the compromise turned out okay:

@jacoavlu:

does the fabric feel the same as the 20?

no it doesn't. it feels softer and is also a lighter weight from what i can tell. still a nice really nice shirt but not the same as the 20

Pattern like a 20, material feels more like a 32 or a 51. And I still maintain that the Dark Rider heavier, it's like wearing a fekking carpet.

I said "like"

Definitely a teeny bit lighter than the 20. It is not necessarily a bad at thing at all. Kinda ups the shirts wear-ability a bit IMHO.

Z, you're a man who knows. How does the 20 compare to the Dark Rider, weight and thickness wise?

Agree.

So the dark rider is heavier than the 20 fabric but the 20 is way warmer because it barely breathes at all, if any. Dark rider is softer and more like a really heavy blanket. 20 is kinda like the Marlborough Man of fabrics, if that makes any sense at all?

Here's a little comparison with the 72 and 20. The left side is the 72 and the right side is the 20

Sleeves

Thickness side by side

Thickness top(20) and bottom(72)

Great shots, I think a lot of people have been wanting to see that.

I might do the same later to see if I am going mad about my Dark Rider theory.

[J-IV]

I'll try to compare them with the 51 as well. Based on touch, I feel like the 51 is beefier than the 72 but then again, I don't have it at the moment to properly judge.

Have to agree again. The Dark Rider was thicker than my 20 yet I would sweat balls in the 20 and not the Dark Rider.

I had the 51 on the other night when I tried on Nate's 72. 51 is heavier.

Dark Rider > 20/51 > 72

[Finn666]

damn J-IV, you own two red buffalo check shirts or was this in a store (SE)?…
great comparison though, thx!...

[Megatron1505]

I trust what Z says to be fact, he's a man who knows. I still want to see visually what the difference in with DR and the 72 though.

Interestingly, I had also thought that although the DR appears heavier, the 72 is definitely warmer.
