I already own the Green UHF IHSH-232, but I am SO tempted to pull the trigger on this one. It is the quintessential holiday winter flannel IMO!

Ha I’m on the other end of the spectrum and cram into a western when possible; bren stubarmed? I prefer the way the pocket pattern is broken up as opposed to the “headlight” look the work shirt can sometimes give off… and the snaps. Those glorious snaps.

Loving it so far. How does this one differ from past iterations?

I dont think it does in any appreciable way, but there are dozens of people who will likely disagree with me….

OK, I have to gush for a minute on this fannel, my very first UHF that I received a few days ago. I discovered Iron Heart in 2020 and upgraded all my jeans, vests, and denim shirts from the usual offenders (Levis...etc) as I slipped down the denim head rabbit hole. I adore fannels and have had a brand that I liked for years: a 75USD price point, cool patterns, tall fit with longer sleeves, polyester blend, and in fact, a nice brand ethos--but there's only so much you can do at that price point.

I always admired UHFs from afar, read every thread on the forum, and thought often: they can't really be that good...right? There's no way...

Thanks in many ways to the forum I've learned a great deal about garment construction since 2020 and it was very interesting to nerd-out and closely compare the construction of my old go-to flannel shirts to this UHF. Talk about two ends of the quality spectrum! The brushed cotton, the solid heavy-weight construction, the stitching, and so on are so top tier I completely understand the reputation these UHFs get now.

I went from 'they really can't be that good' to 'why the fuck didn't I get one sooner' so fast it broke the sound barrier.
Looking forward to many wears in this comfy bad boy. Guess it's time to gift, donate, and sell some of my old flannels : )
