IHSH-72 - Ultra Heavy Buffalo Check Western Shirts

[zhivago]

So the dark rider is heavier than the 20 fabric but the 20 is way warmer because it barely breathes at all, if any. Dark rider is softer and more like a really heavy blanket. 20 is kinda like the Marlborough Man of fabrics, if that makes any sense at all?

Here's a little comparison with the 72 and 20. The left side is the 72 and the right side is the 20

Sleeves

Thickness side by side

Thickness top(20) and bottom(72)

Great shots, I think a lot of people have been wanting to see that.

I might do the same later to see if I am going mad about my Dark Rider theory.

I'll try to compare them with the 51 as well. Based on touch, I feel like the 51 is beefier than the 72 but then again, I don't have it at the moment to properly judge.

Have to agree again. The Dark Rider was thicker than my 20 yet I would sweat balls in the 20 and not the Dark Rider.

I had the 51 on the other night when I tried on Nate's 72. 51 is heavier.

Dark Rider > 20/51 > 72

damn J-IV, you own two red buffalo check shirts or was this in a store (SE)?…
great comparison though, thx!...

[Megatron1505]

I trust what Z says to be fact, he's a man who knows. I still want to see visually what the difference in with DR and the 72 though.

Interestingly, I had also thought that although the DR appears heavier, the 72 is definitely warmer.

What are the chances of getting the material of the 20's to emerge again G-San.

[Giles]

Never say never, but extraordinarily slim….

[Friday]

Good enough for me…

That 20 fabric is really interesting.  Just echo what everyone is saying here…I wore 20 - 72 on consecutive days.  I will say the 20 is so stiff and heavy, it boarders on uncomfortable.  The 72 is soft and definitely not as heavy.

That said, the 11 maybe the most comfy of all imo.  It is thicker than both the 20 and 72, but is super plush.  Never tried the DR.

72 was SESF and 20 was L's

[JCMx800]

Finally ordered a red one!

[Friday]

Congrats mate.. I was curious myself why the reds is not selling as well as the green ones. Maybe those who bought already own the 20s..

[davito]

congrats and teaser for you JCM. bought the red one today too. went one size up from my usual small and got a medium. small would have been to small over the long run, especially after some washes. very happy. shirt is impressive

[Friday]

looking good davito.. any info on the beanie?

[davito]

thx a lot Friday mate. it is a rising sun watch cap. you may get them in their insta-shop online.

[ALEX1976]

fine davito
U should get them a first soak
They will fit better still

Cant wait for mine;-)

[davito]

Thank you much Alex, yeah I know this is why I bought the medium as I didnt want to have a snug fit like I have in my other shirts ;-), small would be too tight afterwards for me as I am between sizes in this one. Will wear for some weeks and then toss it in the machine :). Until then I will use for layering as jacket around the house with the dog. Or I just wear it how it is. As you know me I just wear and do not care

Nice to hear you grabbed one too

Was thinking about this overnight in/and-out of places. Anything thicker than a 72 and I'd have problems moving between hot and cold environments (inside and out). As it is, the 72 has me border-line overheating indoors. Any thicker and I'd have serious issues on being able to wear indoors
