The BEAST | 15.5oz Extra Heavy Tricotine Work Shirt | UES Shirt Review

This shirt is a BEAST. UES have done it again with this 15.5oz Extra Heavy Tricotine Work Shirt.
I first saw this shirt on Instagram by ‪@FadeandPatina‬ who bought this for the ‪@indigoinvitational6159‬ and boy has he put some work into it. Take a look at his Instagram and the sample pics in this video. It is clear this shirt will reward those who stick with it.
It comes in at a huge 15.5oz, it's built like a tank and dripping in indigo. What more could you want?
These will be available from a select few retailers. At the time of posting they are waiting for this years stock (hence sold out from last year)

Thank you so much for the shoutout Cam!!! 🙏 The shirt is truly a beast! Great review on this epic piece! You are going to absolutely love this shirt! Can’t wait to see your progress!

[@blueband8114]

I'm another UES fan, I have a few of their flannels. I can't fault them, well made, thick, and warm. The shirt in the video looks really nice, I'm going to to go do some more looking.

[@StitchdownShell]

Great video Cameron. Your channel introduced to UES and now I have 3 of their flannels. This work shirt is now on my radar. Cheers.

[@CameronO]

Thanks man! It's a slippery slope, isn't it hah

[@justinmiller5512]

Would love to see you do a side-by-side comparison of this shirt with your Kersey from IH!

[@MrShichich]

Keep the good work CO!

[@Stridewise]

Now that's a shacket!

[@TwoWheeledTokyo]

Mate that is the perfect size for you. Doesn’t look too long at all. I have a couple of UES shirts and find them good value (at least when buying in Japan. Can’t comment on the pricing elsewhere). Still waiting for it to get cold enough to wear them again. Summer seems to have gone on forever here.

[@CameronO]

Agree on the value compared to others! haha its been so warm here!

[@patrickpreston4265]

Thats a fine Looking shirt. Looking forward to seeing a fade update as it progresses. I have already bought the 18oz od cpo from Iron Heart for this winter, so maybe next year for me.

[@dutswnw]

Great video review. Just got one myself. Oversized it at 4 to layer but hopefully it shrinks.

[@CameronO]

Think once they soften up they will fit quite nicely

[@MM-di7ux]

How was it for you? I just picked up a 3 and it fits perfect but worried about it shrinking.

[@dutswnw]

@@MM-di7ux haven’t washed yet. It’s somewhat oversized but I can layer over a sweater/hoodie comfortably. As it softens it seems to be fitting a but better as well.

[@andrewwilsoneskesen6039]

Love UES . Just ordered the Baker pant

[@ironshopprovisions4699]

❤❤❤ so good.

[@CameronO]

You guys sell out instantly. Says something hey! Such a great shirt.

[@ironshopprovisions4699]

We’re hopping to have more in November if anyone missed out on this batch.

[@user-lr1rm3ob6x]

Would love some more vids on UES gear. Would you ever consider a type 3 from them?

[@mr_glasses]

That is a super nice shirt. I'd be tempted if I hadn't had such bad luck with UES sizing. Maybe I have a bit of a tricky shape ... 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@CameronO]

How do they fit for you? Too long or short or just between sizes?

[@mr_glasses]

I have pretty broad shoulders, very square and long arms, so sizing in general can be quite tricky. Usually too short in the arms and tight across the chest. However, to be fair, I tend to buy lightly used clothes, and since some of these UES shirts shrink a bit, that's possibly the issue. But the shrinkage scares me away from buying new.

[@andrewe7298]

Cameron, I’m a big fan of your channel bro. If you had to choose between the UES Tricotone and the Iron heart indigo Kersey Western, what would you go with, I’m on the fence. Also is size 3 UES similar to a size L in Iron heart? Thanks for the great videos

[@CameronO]

Oh wow, GREAT question. I would probably say the Kersey Western, which i don't have. But i think the fit would be killer. My tricotine is amazing, but i think it needs to be a size down for me or at least i wish i tried a smaller size as mine is well and truly an overshirt and is quite long in the body. Fabric wise i rank them equal though haha

[@michaelshearer3559]

I absolutely love it.

[@jules32179]

Awesome shirt 😅 I bought this shirt from Redcast heritage last year but haven’t put much wear on it yet. But seeing this, I need to break it out for the winter.

[@CameronO]

I feel it will take ages! I mean, fadandpatina has been wearing his every day for almost a year for the competition.

[@julienholmgren1543]

It looks great, I love it. I didn't know this brand. I'm off to Paris on Wednesday, I want to try on some flannel shirts by Portuguese flannel, they're really nice and more affordable. I've never ordered from Japan or the US, it's really hard to know in advance how much you're going to pay in import taxes so I don't want to take the risk. Can't even order on the UK website of the Real McCoy, it sucks.

[@Daniel-s8b]

Hey Cameron, there is a question that has been killing me for awhile. Can you give more details on your Samurai Chino pant? Curious to know what you mean by “modified” did you have your tailored? I have the exact same size, and I am the exact same height, close to weight but mines seem very loose/baggy. Would appreciate some info :)

[@CameronO]

Hey man, yeah, a few years back I used to take some pairs to a guy that Rivet & Hide recommended, he did hemming and all sorts. Think they were called Atelier or something. I had a pair of IH 666's I bought online and the Samurai's which i had bought in Japan. They both were a little bad fitting (my fault) and he basically tailored them, unstitched and restitched all sorts with a union special. Theres another place in London called Pinas & Needles who do a lot of denim stuff too

[@Daniel-s8b]

@@CameronO awesome! Appreciate the advice! Basically bought a new wardrobe off of your recommendations/reviews 😂

[@flyguy22190]

How does this compare with keeping warm/windproofness relative to an Iron Heart Ultra Heavy Flannel? I'm deciding between the 2.

[@Ivybird]

IH has a brushed interior which helps with warmth and insulation. It’s definitely a warm top but I wouldn’t say it’s windoroof. I would still choose the Tricotine over any IH Flannel.

[@flyguy22190]

Thank you! I bought the IH because the UES was out of stock. The IH is VERY warm. If this tricotine is better, then I’m definitely looking forward to it!

[@stevenfoster4977]

What size are you wearing? I assume a large? Great video.

[@CameronO]

Correct! Size 3 (L) which is my usual size. Thanks!

[@rohyco]

@@CameronO How tall are you?

[@CameronO]

@@rohyco roughly 6ft

[@sca33]

@@CameronO What's your average S2S and P2P measurements in flannels? It's kinda confusing with all that JP sizing shenanigans.

[@tiderider]

Snug fitting shirt. I usually wear a mens Large in every thing and i had to get a size 5

[@slendo2465]

Softening up for you? This is like rhino skin when new 😅
