IHSH-368-IND - 14oz Double Cloth Western Shirt - Indigo

[WhiskeySandwich]

This is a really interesting fabric. Trying my best to wrap my head around it. Here are my “tasting notes”- The exterior is like 9oz double-indigo unbrushed denim flannel that bleeds like a stuck pig. The inside “lining” is a completely different thing. It’s like a 5oz poly-blend neppy blanket. They are a single fabric but I can’t help but feel they’re separate. You can sorta see the texture of the weave holding them together, which may be polarizing, but I like the extra dimension to it and it may make for some cool fades, which I think will come on quick. I will be extra careful about washing this one though because I think it could shrink and/or skew funny, especially if thrown in the dryer. All in all, it’s a super cool, extra warm alternative to a UHF, which is what I’d most closely compare this to.

For some reason the edit function isn’t working for me right now. I wanted to note that the photos were taken in the middle of drying this.

@alexpupin @WhiskeySandwich edits will work now, the topic had not been moved to the "Shirting" category, so was inheriting the wrong privileges from the Fall/Winter 2023 category

@AdamJ solved! Thanks

@WhiskeySandwich good review on that! I definitely agree with being careful washing it. I did a hot soak on mine and everything came out fine but could see things going wrong if running it through the wash. Also agree this being UHF warm if not even a bit warmer for me anyway which seems strange. All around badass shirt

[WhiskeySandwich]

@LeDuc_RW thanks man. I soaked warm too with little agitation, smoothed out then hung to dry. That’ll probably be the norm with this one. Strictly soapy soaks and a rinse. I do think it’s a touch warmer that an uhf. It’s a super sweet fabric. I don’t know why I expected it to be different but it’s going to be awesome as a work shirt too.

Early days, 7 days of this love affair! Will be putting this one to work all winter. Small signs around the cuffs, will continue to document it

@endo too good mate ..

@AdamC wow, this thing is glowing with indigo after just seven days...

[Dmart]

Really a beauty this shirt.

[doubletee]

Looks amazing @AdamC. Got me thinking

[WhiskeySandwich]

this shirt is so gawdang comfortable. It's replacing my 362 as the daily overshirt while working indoors. It's shedding indigo like crazy, i'll bet these are going to look drastically different in just a few months.

I managed to pick one up from one of the retailers in the US... I slept on this one and when I was ready to buy they were gone in my size in the UK / EU. Looks amazing!

Sunlight hitting the arm crease

[LeDuc_RW]

This after only three days of wear. Creases setting already and some indigo shedding that’s crazy! Love this piece and going to fade pretty quick I think….

[alexpupin]

I love this shirt

@alexpupin how does size in comparison to the Flannel UHFs - would you suggest the same size.

[joephoto]

I went my normal size @Supersonic

[pechelman]

how does this fabric feel compared to the regular 14oz denims?

[WhiskeySandwich]

@pechelman imo this feels more like an unbrushed UHF. It's thicc and sqooshy. very soft.
