IHSH-129 - Indigo Check Heavy Selvedge Flannel Western Shirt - Blue & Green

Wasn't interested in this as I struggle with the more complicated patterns (I'm a simple soul). But I have been following this thread as it has been interesting to follow reactions to Skewgate.
Now, looking at the pics on the product page and seeing how the skew affects the pattern, and also how the pocket rearrangement works I have to say that this is a bloody brilliant shirt. I love the way the pattern slopes upward so uniformly. It's really quite cool.

I wore my green for the first time today. Now giving it a warm soak to see if I can get some slight shrink.

I am not doubting that the IH fabric is of a much higher quality and sewn up with a higher level of craftsmanship. It's a no brainer that I would pick the IH version over the other vendors any day of the week. But to be fair…..the other vendors fabric was released long before the 129 was.

So I was going through the retailers I like…and found this....
Now while it isn't this exact material, pretty darn close...8oz flannel from Japan. Looser weave, but DAMN is it so similar....but Iron Heart did it much better and is selvedge nor indigo dyded.
