I don’t think it’s the same fabric unless left field is missing some info or getting some wrong. Iron heart’s shirt was a 10oz indigo dyed selvedge flannel while left field’s is 13oz with no other details mentioned. it just seems like such a random post to me…do they think they’re losing a lot of market share to iron heart that they felt strong enough to post that? I get that iron heart is popular and expensive so there are huge fans and huge haters alike. I’m used to seeing people take their sides all over the internet but it’s weird to see a brand do it publicly. Also anytime i hear brands do the whole “we make the same thing but cheaper” thing, it gives me flashbacks of the great kickstarter denim companies gold rush era.

I've had this discussion with a few people over the last year and it seems like people who are huge fans of the THC shirts dont end up liking the Merz 2-thread tshirts which I think makes sense bc they're quite opposite from each other. The THC fabric is on the stiffer side, barely any stretch to them, and the construction esp at the neck is over engineered and on the tighter side whereas the Merz 2 thread fabric is lighter feeling and def stretchier and the neck is wider. I almost exclusively wore THC tshirts for a long time but now I find that while I do appreciate them and wear them still, I dont really gravitate towards them as much these days. I wear my warehouse and merz tshirts way more. I actually didnt like the merz at first when I bought it in 2015/2016 because but then tried it again when they reworked the pattern and fabric to have more predictable shrink and now they're amount my favorite tshirts because they're way more comfortable to me. THC tshirts just feels like wearing super heavy raw jeans...it's really impressive but when it comes down to it, I grab the comfier stuff more....maybe that means soon I'll be wearing only athleisure and yoga pants.

A long time ago I had a newly divorced guy ask me if his new matching denim jacket and jeans outfit would make women want to have sex with him and I didnt have the heart to tell him that while he may get more attention, the majority of it will be from other men who are into denim.

Laundry day on a nice overcast day. 1947 indigo and black. Color is pretty true for both.

I am a big fan of their 2-thread tshirts (models numbers that start with "2"). The 214 models which are more relaxed cut are my favorite. The 215 classic fit models got a fit update a couple years ago and fit way better than before. It's still a tad slim for me but sizing up works if I cant find the same fabric/color in the 214. I have a ton of tshirts from a bunch of brands but basically live in merz, warehouse and flat head tshirts.

I got some small rips in the crotch after a little over a year of wear and took some photos of them next to a new pair. No matter how many times I’ve seen jeans age, it’s always cool to see how much it changes.

It looks good. I sized up as well. I find that this denim doesnt have the same kind of shrink as the previous denim they used to use which shrank a bit over several washes but I'm glad I sized up still.
