UES Denim

[Cucoo]

That's great news, guess I can order directly from UES after all!

 

(I did  a quick google search earlier because I thought that GDSK might only apply to EMS China, but all hits I skimmed seemed to indicate otherwise.) 

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Yeah GDSK works with several South East Asian countries. Also Philippines. 

But I assure you not with Japan. 20+ orders can't lie

How much shrink is there within these flannels?  I guess I am asking because I am a solid medium in most if not all slim fitting shirts, however after measuring my shirts the measurements are fairly similiar(expect for my heavyweight flannel from vermont flannel which fits perfect but according measurements is like 8cm bigger in the shoulders and chest(what I assume is from the heavy flannel). Just trying to figure out which size would fit best and after seeing Geemans comment about going with a 3 and wearing mediums I am not not quite sure. 

 

Cucoo,
Bear in that the FW 13/14 shirts had a different sizing from this season (15/16)and last 14/15. The sizes were quite a small fit when Rivet and Hide got their first batch in FW 13/14. Since then the cut/sizing has been slightly bigger per model (2,3,4 etc) and fits more correctly in my opinion.
My 13/14 shirt is a size 3 and is quite slim fitting.
This season and last I could happily wear a size 2 for a fitted look and a 3 for layering underneath.
I also feel that there's a reasonable amount of shrink to be had if needed from these. They are Sanforized but a hot wash will reduce them if needed.
Go by Rivet and Hides sizing. It's accurate.
A size 2 should fit you well from what I can tell.
(For ref: I'm 6', 80kg with 40" chest)

I got no shrinkage on my first wash, going to go ahead and machine dry it after the next wash to see if I can get at least a little shrinkage

[Chubacca]

I didn't get any shrinkage when I washed.  I've done a hand wash and hang dry.

[Cucoo]

Got my heavy flannel today! Size 2 worked out, fits pretty slim but not uncomfortably so. I just have to make sure to always wash cold. Very happy with it so far. Crappy fit pic:

 

 

I almost got another color since "everybody" on here has this one, too, but then I remembered that y'all are just internet people

[Geeman]

The likelihood of bumping into one of us or someone else in that shirt is pretty remote!   Looks good on you 

[pudaspriest]

Looks very good Cucoo! You should be fine if you wash cold, I just did a warm wash and machine dry on mine and got basically no shrinkage at all. Also definitely the right color choice, the yellow looks nice too but I think the blue is the standout of the 3. 

[Cucoo]

Thanks guys! And good to know, especially since I only wash at 30° max anyways and we don't even own a dryer

The shirt is really beautiful. Hoe heavy is it compared to any IH or FH shirt for reference?

[Cucoo]

I don't have first hand experience with IH or FH flannels but I can tell you that weight-wise it feels the same as this Nudie "Jonis" heavy flannel (Fabric is nicer though.)

 

 

It's warm but still very wearable in the office.

 

The cut is very nice, too. I was afraid it'd end up too small in the chest (and beer belly region), but shoulders and chest are perfect and the length and sleeve length turned out perfect, too. Only the neck is a bit small, I can button the top but it's pretty tight. Won't ever do that though so it doesn't matter.

The UES and FH are both on par and very warm, but I think the FH is warmer.  I'll double check tonight.  

[tion4->]

I love these (and the FH) flannels...but can only wear them for about 3 months of the year. Damn subtropics.

Spent most of my life in Canada, wishing I lived in a warm climate. Now I'm wishing I lived in a cold climate so I could wear jeans and flannels...the wife thinks I'm nuts.

does anyone own their caps? I ordered the work cap(chambray) and the hunting cap(hickory) today

I don't have a FH heavy flannel but I do have an IH one. The UES is not quite as thick and warm as the IH but it is not that far off. Makes it a bit more wearable in the fall than the the IH which I find can be too warm outside of winter.

I went to order the Wabash shirt and when I calculated shipping, the amount for shipping was $7,200. Lol.

Hi! Does anyone owns the 400E denim bush pant? I'm wearing size 33 for Strike gold and Flat head, size 32 for Iron heart. I'm wondering if I should take the same size or size down to 31 or 32? Based on the one wash denim measurement, seems like I can fit into a size 31 for the "ideal" slimmer fit..a size 33 would probably look loose...

 

Any idea how is this compare to other Japanese denim?It doesn't have measurements in raw, does it comes bigger or similar to other Japanese denims?

[tigerstrom]

I just pulled the trigger on a heavy flannel from the ues webshop! I went outside of my comfort zone and ordered the wine color. Looking forward to see how it fits!

[Maynard Friedman]

^ white, red or rosé?

[tigerstrom]

Haha, I now my english sucks

[Maynard Friedman]

Your English is great tiger, 100% better than my Swedish anyway. 'Wine' is of course a colour too, just me being a bit mischievous.

[tigerstrom]

I got my shirt from ues yesterday! I really like the fit! The chestmeasurment is a bit smaller than I'm used to bit it's ok! Sorry for the washed out colours in the pic

[Bobbo]

Nice color and fit!

[tigerstrom]

Thanks mate!

4 months in and here is a little update on my 23 Oz. 400 T's

 

I had no difficulty what so ever braking these in. The fabric was pretty soft from day 1... I mean we are talking extreme rigid 23 Oz. denim and they are still tough as shit. But somehow they adapted/shaped to my body pretty quick. 

 

They haven't had another wash since the first initial soak and machine-wash but that is going to change soon. I'll trow them in the machine washer next weekend and do another update!

 

The fabric is just amazing and has the same fading potential as my first pair. 

 

Extra info: Apparently llvlaglne reached out to Lee, asking if these would ever go into production. Answer was NO. (That is correct right, llvlaglne?) So only one pair was made and it will stay like that, making this an extremely limited pair! 

 

But then this also made me think, is this 23 Oz. even woven by UES? Did they maybe buy it somewhere else to craft my pair? In the end it doesn't matter that much, but I wish there was a bit more information out there.

Dropped by the UES store while I was in Tokyo, was really cool to see all their stuff in person. I was already over my budget from previous purchases but my wife picked up another one of their flannels, the extra heavy version. The guy in the shop was super nice and spoke amazing English, even sent us to a cool nearby area for lunch. We also got a neat coaster they were giving away with every purchase, can't go wrong with denim Christmas items!

400T after initial soak
