UES Extra Heavy Flannel Shirt Wine

The flannel shirts from UES tend to run a bit small compared to American sizing. Along with their Japanese sizing, they offer a slim fit, so we usually suggest going one size up from your regular American size. If you usually wear a size M in American brands, you'll find a good fit with this shirt in size 3 (L). However, as always, we recommend consulting our size chart for the perfect fit.

Daniel wears a size 3 (L) shirt. He is 185cm (6ft 1") tall and weighs 76 kg (167 Lbs). He usually wears a size 38 or 40 in Japanese brands (depending on the brand), as well as a size S in all American brands.

The UES extra-heavy flannel shirt, weighing 15.5oz, stands out as one of the thickest and most exceptional flannel shirts in the world. Utilizing the dobby loom, UES innovatively alters the length and position of the warp and weft, resulting in a distinctive expression uncommon in traditional twill weaves. This unique technique, known as crepe weave or Amundsen weave, imparts an almost pear-skin-like texture to the fabric's surface.

Crafted on the historic Schoenherr weaving machine, attributed to Louis Ferdinand Schönherr, a pioneer in mechanical cloth-weaving looms, the 15.5oz fabric is characterized by a soft texture. The machine's gentle handling of threads avoids excessive pulling, contributing to the fabric's luxurious feel. The inner side undergoes a brushing process to further enhance its softness and warmth, requiring advanced sewing technology due to its remarkable thickness.

The careful balance in threading the warp and weft threads allows the fabric to move gracefully, ensuring a pleasantly fitting feel despite its thickness. Superior-quality details abound in the meticulously sewn garment, featuring rolled and triple-chain-stitched main body seams, providing durability for long-lasting wear. The sturdy rolled hem is achieved through a meticulous piping process.

The shirt's buttons, crafted from ivory palm nuts with a beautiful gradient tone, not only add historical significance but also contribute to environmental conservation. Derived from medium-to-tall palms, these nuts help combat rainforest destruction and protect elephants. Once a staple on U.S. soldiers' uniforms, the buttons are a testament to the brand's commitment to quality and sustainability.

Direct dyeing of colored threads ensures that the shirt's colors fade moderately, allowing for a soft aging effect through continuous wear and washing. UES flannel shirts represent a reinterpretation of casual American style, featuring a heavyweight fabric with a soft, slightly raised inner layer that embraces the body. The natural fading of directly dyed yarn adds a denim-like aging effect. Every step, from spinning and dyeing to knitting and sewing, is meticulously executed in Japan.

UES is a small Japanese label founded by Chuji Matsumoto in 1994. UES comes from the English word "Waste", which means that Matsumoto-San wants you to make full use of each garment for as long as possible before discarding it. It is a small judgement of the concept of disposable wear that is so commonplace today in the world of fashion and from which Matsumoto-San disassociates himself completely.
