IHSH-333-SAX - Ultra Heavy Flannel Blanket Check Western Shirt - Sax Blue
Iron Heart - Ultra Heavy Flannel Blanket Check Western Shirt - Sax Blue
It's UHF season. We look forward to this time of year every season. We know each time a production is completed, we're going to be surprised by an even better product than we could imagine the moment we open the box. The details never fail. The construction never fails. But no matter how much we understand what's coming, the heavy yet fluffy nature of this fabric knocks us off our feet.
The blanket check is a nice change up on the classic "big check" patterns of UHF past. We reckon this is a bit of a "look what we can do now" flannel as it mirrors the color of the 20th-anniversary flannel exactly. For further explanation, the 20th Anniversary flannel was a reproduction of their very first flannel. While an updated weight, it was still a 20-year-old pattern. This is the 2022 version built for a whole new era. In person, it really impresses. The smaller pattern made us all stop and stare in the studio and we think it will probably do the same on the streets.

Fit Notes: Shop owner Tommy is wearing a large in this piece. We would recommend for anyone who already doesn't know their Iron Heart size to buy a size bigger than your normal choice. If you're a medium, go for a large (that's what we did here) The western fits the smallest between the two core-style shirts, so keep that in mind. 99% of our returns are because an item is too small, so please pay attention to those size charts. Tommy is 5'10," 165lbs with a 40" chest.

Hawaiian Shirt - Ice Tiger
The Hawaiian tiger shirt is forever going to be a Japanese icon. This proprietary fabric Freenote locked down seems to impress year after year. The mixture of the indigo-dyed linen and that gorgeous tiger print is truly perfect. It's such a rich, royal color of indigo and it gives the instant impression of a white tiger. They've finished this beauty off wtih mother of pearl buttons.
The Alamo Shirt - Tiger Heron
The Alamo is a staple for us nearly every year. When they introduce new colors, we all collectively get a little giddy. This year's central color outlier color is this Tiger Heron. It's a wonderful shade of red that's not too in your face. It is kind of the classic red mechanic shirt color you just know when you see it. The corozo nut buttons always give the piece a nice pop of contrast and the construction never fails. The 1/8" single-needle stitching lends to this military-style silhouette. Luckily, this time you can grab the sturdy but soft cotton Alamo in a color that will hold up for a lifetime.
We really, really love the Dotsume pocket tee...but we know they're not for everyone. It takes a lot of effort, and just the right temperature to put on a tee that heavy. When we first laid our hands on the lighter-weight, USA cotton version of it we knew that it carried the same quality in construction and fit, but a more versatile fabric. This pigment process adds so much character to the shirt and is a special edition for SS23.
This version of the pocket T-shirt is made from cotton which is mainly produced in the cotton-growing area of the Mississippi River basin in the United States. Air spinning produces a cotton fluff with a length of 13 mm to 33 mm which then becomes yarn by centrifugal force. This creates a crisp texture. They also feature traditional details from the 1890s including the oversized pocket and W stitching. The flash gusset on the bottom of the pocket is a special specification that's meant to reduce sweat from moistening the inside of the pocket.

If you're looking for the densest pocket tee on the market, here it is. We've had tees from some of the hardiest manufacturers out there, and they don't hold a candle to these Dotsume tees. They honestly blew us away. This type of tee shirt makes you purge all the weaker, lower-quality versions from your closet. This round, they partnered with the infamous Lavenham for the pocket detail. It's a wonderful "techy" upgrade to give the shirt an even more contemporary feel. They're pretty damn cool in person, we must admit.
A collaboration model completed by the UK's leading factory brand "LAVENHAM" and the Japanese factory brand "Jackman" focuses on each other's strong points. It is a collaboration of factories for more than 50 years, in which brands are connected by diamonds polished from rough stones. This is a combination of Jackman's unique Tianzhu material and Lavenham's unique quilted pockets.
