@Alex Any info on the dye used? Natural Indigo? Fugitive? Any fading over time?

Thanks.

[Alex]

Yes, the indigo will fade over time

Thanks…

I was all set to pass on this one (already have too many indigo shirts) and then y'all had to post this pic to your IG.  Now I'm seriously rethinking this one.  Have some mercy fellas.

It’s almost like they do that on purpose [emoji6]

Man, that GAH cat's eye button Ive got stacked is gonna look killer on this shirt

I'm curious to know if this feels like the purple UHF. That thing is so freaking soft. It's different than the other UHFs I have (or perceive it to be).

@Joberwocky That will look killer with this shirt. Please post some pics if you end up going that route. This shirt has climbed high on my (ever-growing) list.

@Filthy  I have 3 UHF’s and I’m with you that I perceive a softness in the purple that the others don’t have…plus it’s just gorgeous

[Joberwocky]

@Filthy @SKT I've found the green tarten flannel from this season to also be uncharacteristically soft.  I wonder if it's a result of how the pattern is woven.  For reference, it's like the softness of a 21oz vs the tightly woven denseness of a 25oz, which my purple flannel from last year is like

Most/all UHF's patterns/colourways feel subtlety different from each other.  This is because different dyes create different characteristics in the yarn and different weaves create different textured fabric.

Well this is a practical, informative and convincing response to our musings about softness differences. Having an expert (or two) around sure is nice!

Is there going to be a sizing chart for these prior to release? Unless I have just missed it 

[Giles]

There will be and it will be posted in this thread.

There has been some discussion in this and the IHSH-312-IND thread about the difference between these and previous UHF's.

This is the first time we have indigo dyed the yarns in a UHF, and we had to use a different mill to weave the fabric. Though the actual shirt construction is done in our normal workshop.

The dyeing of the yarn in indigo is more expensive and harder to weave than non-indigo, so this has resulted in a higher cost and therefore price of the shirt over previous non-indigo UHF's.

Also, the mill that we used for the weaving of the fabric has different fabric brushing technology, so the hand feel is subtely different from non-indigo UHF's.
