IHSH-405-GRN - 12oz Ultra Heavy Flannel Check Western Shirt - Green

[goosehd]

My second pick for the F/W season

[jerkules]

My pick of the flannels, beautiful green.

[Raisinoux]

It has kind of a mint green color from afar, love it, the colorway is not far from the green UHF from last winter but that white touch is just genius

[Denman John]

Very nice! Any idea when it will be released?

[Raisinoux]

@Denman-John I guess september / october will see the first drops from this new season, Alex said it was way too early to be accurate scheduling things

[Denman John]

@Raisinoux Thank you. I just got home and haven’t watched the release video yet ~ will watch it shortly.

[Twistlock]

Love the green.

Is this on the horizon? Seeing the orange one hinted at makes me wonder.

[Graham]

Not word yet @CosmoSix5

[Alex]

On the horizon - ish, given its the same collection, but we don't have a firm idea of when it will be ready yet

[WhiskeySandwich]

This is the one since the shoulders on the orange didn't work out. Fingers crossed for measurements.

[CosmoSix5]

Is the top button on a "snap" shirt a style or functional choice? It annoys me for what it's worth.

[Mister_Brue]

@CosmoSix5 Agreed. I find them almost impossible to do up (luckily it is an extremely rare occurrence), and of course when you upgrade the snaps, the button tends to stick out like a sore thumb because usually the colour has changed.

The 381 has a snap collar, and even Big Bucks. Different fabrics of course, but personally, the thicker the fabric, the more I’m in need of a snap. Maybe a stylistic choice as you say…

Still beats a work shirt though…

[CosmoSix5]

@Mister_Brue work shirts are by far, sub par when compared to IH westerns. SDA make my favorite work shirts fwiw

[Boit]

@CosmoSix5 sub par? in what way? I kinda prefer them to westerns…but like and still buy both

[WhiskeySandwich]

@CosmoSix5 ...says the guy wearing a work shirt in his profile pic

i kid, i kid! 100% subjective. And imo - totally comes down to measurements. I have a couple work shirts, but prefer them in a lighter fabric, i have far more westerns because the measurements tend to work out better, and I like pockets that fasten so things dont fall out when i'm upside-down....which I realized from wearing work shirts - is more than I'd thought.

As far as construction or design, I do think snaps are the superior fastener (in most cases, again for lighter fabrics, buttons are fine), prefer the symmetrical side seams and under-sleeve seams that are usually on westerns, vs works. And, i dont care whether the top button is a snap or what because it's never done up, because its always too tight to fit around my neck.

For this shirt in particular, i think the check pattern lends itself more to a western, for no reason really, it just does.

[CosmoSix5]

@Boit only subpar in fit. For me. Subpar may have been a strong statement

[CosmoSix5]

@WhiskeySandwich you pretty much made my argument for westerns over work. And you nailed me on the profile pic lol. My only IH work shirt. Until/if I pick up the sashiko next week. So tempting .. why isn't it a western!? Lol

[Mizmazzle]

I actually prefer UHFs in the workshirt cut....I find them a lot more comfortable.

[goosehd]

@CosmoSix5 For me, not every item that IH has released/releases works out for me. I have learned over the years that for everything I miss out on, something else comes down the line that does and sometimes that means it will not work out for someone else.

It’s not a bad thing as it teaches us to appreciate what we have and that IH does it best to continue offering stuff that we desire.

I’ve been around for a few years now with many members much longer than I…there’s a reason for that.
