RE vs 21 photo study.
2 years cold weather wear on 21oz. Probably 4 washes? I do nothing special to preserve or facilitate fades.
3 months wear on the RE. 2 washes.
In all cases RE is on top of 21oz.

Really sorry he had to go, like for many here he was a friend I’d never met in person.
On to new adventures, good buddy, you’ll no doubt have improved the path we find when it’s our time to follow.
So I saw these in the flesh this weekend. The line-up is pretty freakin amazing. DR's location is also freakin amazing and it's not even close to done. Just a great weekend meeting some great folks who all happen to like high-quality garments.
No pics of any of the fox brother's garments will do them justice. The material on all of them is special in a way that needs to be felt/worn. Really what struck me about this line-up in general is the sheer range of materials! Dobby, double-cloth, herringbones, broken twill, overdye, oiled… It was almost dizzying.
As I said over in random questions, wife and I RSVP'd for both days (including dinner). I'm also in MD, and we've been looking for a weekend trip away and this lined up well at work. Intrigued by the destination-retail concept and wanted to check it out first-hand since the IH podcast. Staying a Quirk, per DR recommendation.
I didn't see anything in the Meet-ups & Travel section on the IH visit to Charlottesville, VA that Division Road just announced. Did I miss it somewhere? Anyway, I've RSVP'd yes…
Congrats on the new kid!
Sun was low and coming in through the window the other day.

Too excited to button fully! Plus some shots of the unbrushed flannel family tree.

How's everyone like the fabric on this? I don't have any 9oz flannels but love the 7oz blue I picked up last year
Seems like you’re already off the fence, but IMHO these 9oz unbrushed flannels are Iron Heart’s most special releases. Don’t get me wrong, the UHFs are amazing, but I feel like the second place contender for the UHF slot in my wardrobe would come pretty close. There’s no comparable shirt to these custom patterns (often including rope-dyed indigo) in a substantial but versatile weight. Again YMMV, but for me these are not to be missed.
