IHSH-333-OD - Ultra Heavy Flannel Blanket Check Western Shirt - Sax Blue Overdyed Black
-
@JunkPants I don't know if you've ever picked up one of the un-brushed 9oz flannels that they do in the SS collections? My 316 is a beautiful weight for Spring & Summer and the lack of brushing makes it far more breathable. I wore mine in 30-ish degree heat in Dubai a few months ago over 6oz tees quite comfortably.
Depending on exactly how hot it is here in UK, I could do a UHF during some of the Summer months, though I'd probably be wearing it open then and more as a shirt-jacket.

@Oaktavia Interesting. Maybe I can work on my UHF conditioning.
(I feel I may be a hopeless case though. My long term goal is to have a second home in a cool place I can retreat to during the summer months)
@EdH Haven't tried one yet, but have been considering it and really should give one a go. I think the main issue for me is indeed the brushing. Have no problem with heavy denim shirts/jackets/jeans for instance.
Anyway, don't want to bog this thread down with my personal overheating issues
These overdyed flannels are awesome for sure.

@Oaktavia I’ve found that overall, I wear heavier clothing in warmer climates than I ever would have before finding IH. I used to just wear t-shirts and a hoody in the dead of winter. Kinda though I was tough or something haha. But now that I’m obsessed with heavier clothing, I wear heavier layers even when it’s warmer out. Almost feel like I’ve conditioned my body to get colder easier cause I love wearing heavy gear. “It’s 80°f out? I better put on my bareback!!?”
-
@Mizmazzle haha for real though, we condition our bodies with all this heavyweight gear. If I don't have long sleeves on and it's under 80F, I'm cold dagummit!

Delivered today.
Typically I am on the Larger spectrum of a large. Took this in a XL with the slight shrinkage in the OD process. Looks like a good fit. Impressed with the quality. Not quite the buttery hand that the OD denim exudes but very nice. Can slightly smell the suffer dye. Very soft brush on the inside. -
Just received from ups. Took a few pics before sunset. Great shirt!!
-
Tempted to get one more OD UHF.
-
Just popping by to say that halfway through wear #3 and the stiffness and extra tightness from the OD-ing that I reported here when the shirt was straight out of the bag seems to have totally evaporated. It barely feels different to any other UHF I own at this point.
-
@SKT Good point, my providing feedback here is probably of limited use to anyone now that they're all gone!
I should really be saying it on the threads for the few shirts that still have stock.
