IHSH-403-GRY - 11oz Ultra Heavy Flannel Line Check Western Shirt - Grey

[manufc10]

I forgot to comment on the fabric. To me there is a noticeable difference when compared to the 12oz Aspero and that's a good thing because I actually think I prefer this 11oz fabric over the 12oz Aspero.

In reality I think if you were trying a bunch of IH flannels on at a store and this was mixed in the middle of the pack with a bunch of 12oz Asperos around it then you probably wouldn't notice a difference and would think they were all one and the same. However, if you hold this 11oz in one hand and the 12oz Aspero in another and examine them then you can feel the difference.

This 11oz has more structure to it I feel like which is a good thing. I feel that it drapes a little better and isnt as soft and flowy as the 12oz. Not that the 12oz doesnrlt have structure to it as well because I think it does, but in comparison the 11oz has more and is a little stiffer in a good way.

The collar is where you can notice it the most. The collar on this 11oz looks cleaner and I think will hold its shape a little better....looks sharper, crisper. The 12oz collars can get a little curly or sloppy I think if you let them get out of hand.

This is all just based on initial impressions after having the shirt in my possession for a few hours. Dont get me wrong, I still love the 12oz Aspero, its an amazing fabric and I will continue to wear the shit out of all of mine, but Im definitely looking forward to more flannels with this 11oz fabric in the future.

Great job IH for finding a good replacement for the 12oz Aspero.

I look pretty surprised, because I wouldn't have thought that this colourway would suit me...
And it's not as pink as I thought, the colour is much more muted.
I think I might drop by Kentaurus again tomorrow.

@tody very nice. On an unrelated note, what's the knitwear next to the mirror?

[SKT]

@tody looks great on you man. Really love that colorway and thinking more and more I should have picked one up

[tody]

@Tago-Mago I'll hop over tomorrow and have a look for you. And I might accidentaly buy a shirt. Hooray!

I got my one today in the work shirt format, what a great shirt.

[tody]

@gazza61 So please tell us more, we're speculating over in the WAYWT thread. Is that the Re-Love one-off sample item you got there?

[gazza61]

Yes that is the one I could not believe it was there had to buy this unique one off and it was in my size.

@gazza61 Lucky you

[gazza61]

@tody I was surprised it was there I looked a couple of hours after the launch on the relove page. I will have to do the lotto this week.

@gazza61 Great score! You need your own 404 thread.

[gazza61]

@Mister_Brue it's going to be a very lonely one.

[Mister_Brue]

@gazza61 I know, only joking; stick around here with all the cool kids (I’ve resisted getting this one ((so far))). R&H still stocking my size though, so still time to cave. You’re a one off!

[Tago Mago]

@gazza61 it will be up to you to bring it to life

[gazza61]

@Mister_Brue thanks for that I got the joke,you will not regret it this is one amazing fabric it's so good I have the western as well.

[gazza61]

@Tago-Mago I'm beginning to feel the pressure. Challenge excepted

[FlavourFade]

@tody Looks great on you and it's an amazing shirt. I think it's my favourite one

[Mister_Brue]

@gazza61 Damn, that’s commitment to the colourway! I really wanted to try this one on before pushing the button, but you guys are selling it.

Fit pic with both on please.
