IHW-01 (Melton Wool shirt)

[mvb]

other pro's compared to cotton:
wool is water repellent and less flammable

So next time I'm on fire I won't be afraid to jump in a pool, even though I won't be burning too badly.

Wool is special because it keeps you warm even if it is wet.  I wouldn't go so far as to call it water resistant.  But anything is better than cotton.

I find the Melton warmer than the flannel.

wind proof & water repellant sound good to me.  still not sure about it being warmer than my 20 (the only heavy weight flannel i have been able to wear when it was actually cold out).

i tend to wear my IHW-01 with another Iron Heart shirt under it & a tee.  my 20 i tend to wear with just a tee .  . . so it's kind of apples & oranges for me & hard for me to compare them since i don't wear them the same way.

one thing i think we agree on is you can't go wrong with a IHW-01.

drpat, i thought you were into being on fire  ???

Had a big cup of coffee blasted all over my IHW-01
It basically ran right off, little paper towel pat and was good as new
Only part that really absorbed any was the cotton lining at the cuff

[madmonday]

you have blue or black jaco?

[jacoavlu]

black

[riffblaster general]

this with a thermal underneath = plenty warm.  its been good through harsh new england winters.

When are these expected to drop, and whats the price likely to be?

(Apologies if I've missed the info)

[Giles]

Dunno drop date (it'll happen when it happens).

Price will be very close to last seasons price (USD375)

The price of wool has rocketed, but that crafty Haraki realised that this may happen and bought the melton wool last year to hedge against a substantial price rise….

Best IH Shirt EVER imo. Just sayin'. I am a slight breeze away from breaking one of mine out. Get it for night as it can be doubled as a jacket in warmer climates. Not to mention the fit on this shirt is too good to miss out on. I need Hunter Green, Burgundy, or Deep Purple next year!!!

[barun]

a really dark purple would be rad

Guess I might have to get both this year, then.

Yeah im 95% sure im gonna get this, as long as I like the fit when I try it at Selfedge (I have store credit) I really would love a hunter/olive green…that's what I was hopping for this year.

Ugh.

[Guest]

Charcoal grey looks dope, Lando. Do you already own one in that shade?

[Giles]

No, only done in Navy and Black in the past….

[passthestripe]

Dreaming of Belgium stepping up.

Else… charcoal or black... Flip a coin!
