Iron Heart | IHSH-436-RED| Ultra Heavy Flannel American Check Western Shirt | Red "The Watermelon Man"
To a great extent, the IH ultra heavy flannel (UHF) shirts define Iron Heart: heavy, rugged, but amazingly wearable. The 12oz fabric is woven with Aspero cotton from the foothills of the Andes mountains. IH double brushes it on the inside and single brush it on the outside, resulting in a very soft yet substantial, thick, warm and windproof flannel. This shirt is a wardrobe staple—seen here in the western cut with a red American check.
Because IH now uses a reactive dyeing process for their UHF fabrics—as opposed to the direct dye technique used on older variations—this plaid features a subtler colour palette compared to the vibrant checks from previous seasons. Whereas those older direct-dyed fabrics would mellow in appearance after a few washes, this new dyeing method is far more colourfast. To counter this, IH has muted the colours slightly to offer a more worn-in appearance from the get-go.
