@Oaktavia I had my fingers crossed too.. patiently waiting for the purple ombre to come back ️

purple ombre

I have the one that was a collab with Fallen Acorn, one of my favorites. Hope you can grab a purple too!

[DeeDee85]

@Oaktavia one day would love to see some pics of yours as we head into winter!

[Mizmazzle]

Got my wife the Fallen Acorn UHF when they dropped. It’s damn fine looking.

[DeeDee85]

@Mizmazzle really hope they re-run it one day.. I think my denim shirts out number my flannels 2 to 1 so I’m hoping for some interesting colours to drop to even the ratio out

[Mister_Brue]

I have the IHSH-231-BLU, but I think I prefer it the way it is. FW19.

[Oaktavia]

@DeeDee85 also it helps to be on the lookout on sites like ebay and grailed. I have found about half of my UHF collection on secondhand sites as I am picky about patterns and colors that I like.

[DeeDee85]

@Oaktavia thank you for the heads up! My flannel collection has been relatively slow off the mark compared to how fast I accumulated denim.. at the minute I have the 9oz green ombré, red buffalo check uhf and last winters blue tartan check uhf. The upcoming orange slubby and a purple ombre will be my next two, no matter how long I have to wait for the purple will you be getting any from this season?

[Oaktavia]

@DeeDee85 Nice! I am trying to not buy any more shirts. I have more than I can wear now...with eight UHFs plus my other shirts. I do not need any more. We'll see...I really just want to put some wear into what I already have.

[DeeDee85]

@Oaktavia I can understand that very well.. I’m concentrating on wearing around 4 and have quite a few sat in the drawer unworn. If everything goes to plan we’ll be moving house soon so I’m currently trying to figure out which ones I can possibly live without and sell to help with the move

This is me as well…although I may not be able to resist one of the corduroy shirts

[Oaktavia]

@DeeDee85 the good thing is, we have a fantastic space to use here on out B/S/T forum.

This is me 1000% but with jeans. I have enough pairs that if I ever wanted to get proper, really good looking fades on each, I'd probably be looking at a decade. I've got a little stockpile of unworn jeans all queued up, so resistance for me has gotten to be a key practice. It's tough as hell though haha.

[Oaktavia]

@popvulture the hardest part is looking into my wardrobe and knowing I won't wear a few items anytime soon AND knowing there is just no way I can sell them either.

[popvulture]

@Oaktavia dude, I absolutely know this feeling

[WhiskeySandwich]

@Oaktavia DUDE, the struggle is real. I generally stick to a rotation of two pairs for any given season but occasionally I'll bust out either an old well-faded pair or a new pair just to scratch the itch. Shirts have to rotate a lot more than jeans, but i do try and double up on my fadables.

[WhiskeySandwich]

@Oaktavia tbh i was really psyched about some cord shirts and i really do like the look of the upcoming ones, great colors - but I had in mind the type of corduroy like the recent restock of type 3s in a finer wale. The fat wale with its extra luxurious velvet looks a bit much for me on a shirt.

I try to stick to two pairs too in a rotation but that usually means I wear my main pair five days a week and my side pair only two. I try to wear the same jacket or a shirt and rotate similarly.

[WhiskeySandwich]

@Oaktavia Yup, i def favor one or the other of the two in rotation haha. You've been favoring the xhs, yes? I've been terrible with fading shirts lately though. That should change once it cools off.
