IHSH-340-OD - Ultra Heavy Flannel Classic Check Western Shirt - Red Overdyed Black

[Jett129]

I once heard it said that when you get something new everything else becomes less valuable. This shirt is the first thing that's ever made me feel that way as it has definitely vaulted to favorite shirt status. Thereby throwing a monkey-wrench into my planned Winter shirt rotation. This shirt checks so many boxes for me. Fact that it looks good with my CHIEFS hat doesn't hurt either. Couldn't resist!

Quick car pic. This thing is so nice

@Kfactor love it! In the daylight it’s so freaking amazing

[T4920]

I can't wrap my head around how over dying red produced such colours, but I love it so I'll just accept the wizardry...

[A Former User]

@T4920 and the stitching is still red! It’s really a cool shirt

[Kfactor]

@Heavy_blue that’s my favorite part, that the non natural fibers of the stitching stayed their true red and didn’t take the dye.

I have worn this to sleep in every night since it landed. Lots of dog hair on it, I tried to remove most of it. It seems to be fading and has not touched water since I have had it.

[T4920]

@Oaktavia woah this is really lightening up, suprisingly with no washes, but awesome to see!

[SKT]

@Oaktavia man that looks great and am glad you’re the one doing it. If I slept in a UHF I would spontaneously combust…ha!

[Oaktavia]

@T4920 yeah even my buddy Brent who also has the same shirt had to do a double take when he saw it in person. Asked if I washed it. Nope. Also I have no idea how that one photo has a white background. Here it is fully. @SKT it's been cold in this WV house so that helps.

[T4920]

@Oaktavia can we get a side by side next time you're together, for science

I'm gonna sleep in my OD SAX tonight now...

[Oaktavia]

@T4920 he is visiting again in two weeks but for now here we are wearing the 340OD with matching 507s and XHS from last time.

In this photo they look pretty much the same.

That’s a couple of good lookin blokes

Anyone bought a ladies size for their partner for these and willing to share experience or photos? Alternative suggestions welcome for shirts. XS in normal sizes will not work, since p2p will need to stay below around 18,5"..
Considering to easy my conscience by spreading the IH love around to the female family members

@Tobi Funny you mention this…here is a conversation from a couple of days ago: https://www.ironheart.co.uk/forum//post/805000

This is often my strategy when looking to avoid the spousal scowl when receiving new IH purchases.

[Tobi]

@Mizmazzle my wife has reached the stage where she does not realize if anything is new. When she asks "is this new?" I answer honestly "nope", since I likely have worn it a couple of times at that stage....
My daughters check things out a bit more in detail: yesterday I had the 409ib over the 12oz Dobby Cloth CPO Shirt (still cold in DK), both with copper snaps: my youngest asked: dad- why are you wearing the same shirt twice!?

[DeeDee85]

@Tobi those two releases, so close together and so alike to untrained eyes were my biggest task yet to justify both to my wife

[Tobi]

Works and she claims she likes it. P2P could be a little wider, but at least no more shrink
