10-12oz Indigo Hickory Stripe Western- Blanket-Lined with Side Pockets.

Yeah, a little. I'm a L and waist 34 now.

Sweatshirt or tee?

Size L

Perfect fit, for my style.

I'm with ya Brooks. I thought Smartwool were better, but they aren't quite as good as Darn Tough. I mean, everyone wants to wear what the military is wearing, so get some Darn Tough. It's what the USA military wears (along with Danner or New Balance).

And they're made in New England (VT to be exact).

I got some Anonymous Ism socks for Christmas and I'm not impressed. They don't stay up very well and lose their shape fairly quickly.  I'm pretty sure I have a wool blend.  I'll stick with Smartwool and Darn Tough.

Made in Japan doesn't mean it's the best.

Thanks Shane!!!

Verdigris…

It's a great natural dye stuff too. It makes pastel green.

17oz selvedge duck would be even better. 23oz duck is ridiculously heavy and annoying to break in, IMO.  It's also a bitch to wash.

I'll be thinking about you P. good vibes are being sent from me and Wiley.

That Hansel is so hot right now….

I don't think it's weird to see Japanese brands knocking off vintage flannels. Most IH patterns are based off of vintage flannels. I'm pretty sure the IHSH-51 is based off of an old Wrangler flannel.

If you don't have anything good to say, don't say it. I thought that's it goes around here.

I'm surprised people aren't into the Jelado flannels.

To my eye, there's a heavy vertical flow to the shirts which is pretty uneven to start, that gets me a little twitchy. Then the pockets go against the flow and none of the colours quite line up, it's game over man.

I get it, your more into the 20's-30's look, ala Mr. Freedom. This is the strong 60's vibe. Must be too much smoke for you. Personally, I'm into shirts, not blouses, but that's me.

Holy shit, that's def in the Goto-San archive.

I'm surprised people aren't into the Jelado flannels. Everyone on here seems to have a hard on for purple flannels and Jelado dropped the best one I've seen (IMHO).  All selvedge ORIGINAL fabrics. They also make short and long sizes.  My fav flannels this year are from Jelado and UES. I really like the unbrushed outer look.

At about 4 months (one hot ass soak only). The dirt denim looks like it has a grey cast when it fades. I really like denim that fades to blueish grey, its that vintage style. Don't sleep on these. They don't stretch that much, if you wear a belt.



^ notice the slubs. Beautiful shit.
