IHSH-340-OD - Ultra Heavy Flannel Classic Check Western Shirt - Red Overdyed Black

Works and she claims she likes it. P2P could be a little wider, but at least no more shrink

[T4920]

@Tobi I assume this was a ladies size? Looks like it fits her well!

Edit; I see it is! Saw your post above

[Oaktavia]

Worn every night for the past few months

Photos are after first machine wash and hang dry.

@Oaktavia you starch these sleeves? Wild to see such defined combs on such a soft flannel

[Oaktavia]

@T4920 nope just wearing it normally. I hated the bibs after the starch was applied. I hosed them down real good yesterday. Starch was like joke they were so ridiculously uncomfortable. I wouldn't let starch anywhere near a UHF either that would be a mess. I just wore it a lot, every night.

[Oaktavia]

@T4920 also this is after a wash, I haven't even put it back on yet and the combs look like that. I was surprised too. They are really set in there.

Another month, another wash:

Overdyed UHF fades: it is indeed possible to fade an overdyed flannel. I am over the Moon with the way these fades are starting to develop and evolve. The honeycombs, pockets and collar are all quite different than when it was new. To add to the wonder, I have only worn this shirt outside of the house a few times. Literally only a few times. These fades are a direct result of wearing this almost exclusively to sleep in throughout each night. It proves that evidently fades can occur while doing minimal activities. Worn nearly every night since it landed here in West Virginia.

This shirt is fresh from a wash and hang dry. The creases are set so well and I haven't even put it back on yet. The same thing occurred after the first wash, the combs were really set in there.

Outdoor overcast lighting vs. indoors under skylights.

Small contribution to the fading potential of that shirt, worn a bit during summer with a backpack, showing signs of wear in the bottom of the back outside the flannel AND inside
Then worn as a pajama since the temperatures have cooled down.
It’s just so cozy to sleep with and not that warm, i never woke up in the middle of the night covered in sweat actually

[Oaktavia]

@Raisinoux looking good dude, it's so rad these OD UHFs have this fade potential. I'm looking forward to continuing the same with mine.

[Mister_Brue]

@Oaktavia @Raisinoux Just catching up on this thread. Actually nuts how these fade, but still the only real colour is the stitching. Thinking I should get one now.

I’m wondering how much (if any) crocking there was at night?

[Oaktavia]

@Mister_Brue I hope you can find one in your size, I haven't checked to see if they are still in stock. I do not recall any OD crocking, not sure if that is a thing. But my sheets are dark blue anyway.

Probably for the best

[Mister_Brue]

@Oaktavia I’m not sure if it’s a thing either, so I thought I’d check. I never imagined the pattern would show through so much after just one wash. It definitely means picking the right one.

[Raisinoux]

@Mister_Brue I think smaller sizes are still available, my sheets are light blue and didn't notice any dye transfer from my side

[T4920]

Haven't noticed any transfer to the white undershirt I often wear with my OD UHF either.

[pechelman]

+1 to the above
not noticed any OD transfer on mine either.
