Big thanks to @CMastri for a smooth and easy transaction.  Great person to deal with! 

Enjoy that 262!

@neph93:

It is funny what people prefer in westerns and work shirts. On the whole I prefer work shirts in UHF, especially the buffalo checks and ombres. I’m not in for this one, but I find myself unsure. I thought I preferred the western but the pic of @AdamC made me think again. It’s all speculation anyway…

Congrats @futura @Chap

9/10 I would take the workshirt….always thought western wasn't for me....until I saw this one.  I'm a convert.  This will be my first non-solid western shirt.

Got 'em!…..my fav flannel pattern from any brand in a long time.

The waffle makes it a fairly open weave feeling to me.  I haven't worn it without an undershirt, but it does breathe well.

@BD81:

@protokultur if you are considering picking up the IHSH-96…go for it. Its a killer shirt, nice and lightweight for the spring / summer.

Second this…..though I will add that I find it a great weight almost year round, depending on what its layered with/under.  I wore mine out in ~45 degree weather today with a thin undershirt only and I was fairly comfortable.  I've also worn it comfortably up to about 75 degrees.

@neph93:

How long did you wear it without a wash?

I gave it about 20 wears, then spilled something sticky on it so I decided to wash.  Its a little big on me, so its mostly used as a layering overshirt, which means it doesn't get any of my natural man-stank on it….probably could have gone longer.

@chubacca:

Let it air out and see if that helps? If not, wash again? Hows the evo coming along? Pics?

evo is just starting, nothing much to see yet

Hey lads - just did my first wash and dry and noticing a 'musty' smell.  It wasn't left in the finished wash for more than about 5 minutes.  Any tips to get the smell out?  Hang dry outside (where it froze solid!) seemed to help a bit….should I just let it air out outside for a few days?

Cheers!

Sell here….audience is lower, but you know you have a knowledgeable base.  Ebay and grailed are full of cheapskates, only looking for a deal.  Unless you need cash fast, I wouldn't bother with those.  I've gotten some truly ridiculous offers for things on ebay....was selling a new pair of jeans, rare and retail was something like $450....someone offered me $75 when I didn't realize ebay had opened the listing for offers.  It took ALL of my willpower not to respond that I would rather soak them in gas and burn them in a pile on my front lawn then sell them to that jackoff.

P.S. ebay sucks

Hey all - quick question on the fabric; is this more of a 'rigid' type with soft face, or is it more of a softer, flexible, chamois-like moleskin?

Edit: I'll add for clarity that most of the Japanese and Italian sourced moleskins I have experienced are the former, but British moleskin ala brisbane moss is the latter.

Snagged a D'artisan quilted denim jacket and an IHSH-157…..ready for fall!
