The UES 60WH-I Double Honeycomb Thermal in Indigo is a heavyweight honeycomb long-sleeve made with yarn-dyed indigo yarn. Unlike garment-dyed indigo, the rope-dyed yarn fades from the outside in, revealing the lighter core over time for a denim-like fade. The 12.5oz fabric is thick and substantial, but still soft and easy to move in. Finished with a special four-needle sewing machine to keep the seams clean and comfortable. These are made in Japan in a limited number of factories that work with this rare indigo yarn.
Color Note: This garment is indigo dyed, therefore please be careful with potential color transfer, especially onto light-colored clothing and fabrics like white and beige. To help minimize this, we recommend washing and rinsing the garment in lukewarm water before wearing. Indigo will naturally fade with washing and wear. When washing, wash separately from other garments to avoid color transfer.
Note: Runs small; recommend sizing up one from your typical American brand size for a slim fit, or size up two for a relaxed fit or additional length. For example, if you would wear a L in the UES Extra Heavy Flannels, you would probably wear a L in these thermals for a slim fit. There is some stretch to these thermals, given the fabric, but as they are meant to be a base layer, you should not expect these to stretch and stay permanently stretched. These are once washed so there is minimal shrinkage expected. Cold wash, hang dry.
Model: 6'0" and 175 lbs (currently closer to 165 lbs), wearing size 3 | L (one size up from his typical tops size) for a comfortable-slim fit, slightly on the roomier side but still has a quite slim appearance. At 175 lbs, model would still likely go with size 3 for a slim fit.
