Another Japan brand with good flannels shirts, it’s UES. They have great reviews and nice designs. I bought this year also a shirt from Freenote cloth (us brand) and they are really awesome. But IH flannels are at the top even it’s high price range. Thanks for you review!
Hi!! your are right UES made good quality heavy flannels regretably none caught my eye. From Freenote cloth I got a pair of selvedge jeans (Avila fit) 14 oz very nice. From UK is not easy to buy from them because the tax make the product to expensive. Thank you for watching and comment
Id looked at getting a The Flat Head flannel in the past, but noticed they just dont go up to my size( 48chest) i ended up getting 2 UES heavyweight flannels.
Traditional western shirts are tapered in the waist and does effect fit. It's what designers call "athletic fit" today. Broad shoulders and little waist. Flathead seems to do traditional patterns without regard to modern bodies. Work shirt is squared off where chest and waist nearly match. I wonder what the Iron Heart Western shirt waist measures compared to the others. Seems Iron Heart is more of a work shirt since you didn't mention it beyond saying it's slim fit. I'd suspect Iron Heart takes into account modern body types and adjusts for that in their cuts.
You are absolutely right, but I think the sizing is more orientated to the Japanese market; I tried the larger available size, 44-XXL, and it didn´t work for me. Regarding IH sizing, the waist in the shirt I got (XL) is 22.3 inches, while The Flat Head is 21.5. That difference changes the fitting; while the shoulders and chest are ok, the waist is too slim in the TFH shirt. Iron Heart, in the beginning, has the same problem with the sizing, and they update the pattern, and now it is almost perfect for our body types. Still, the sleeves in the new batches are a bit long.
