IHSH-454-BRN - 11oz Military Serge Western Shirt - Brown
-
@John-Galt looking at the sizing of the westerns that have been release this year so far here and in Japan - I think this is the new standard for sizing. Not great for me either.

Alex expanded a little on this here:

Hopefully the recalibration eventually shifts back towards the prior-recalibration dimensions before I actually need to buy a new shirt.
The overall length and the sleeves are running shorter in the recalibration with the chest, shoulder, waist, and opening running larger. Looks to me like it got recalibrated to the work shirt dimensions.
I get it - I’m just one person (that has a typical slim build) and it is what it is - fingers crossed that the dims revert back over time. -
@John-Galt I'm just one person too... But I'm with you 100%. 12 out of 14 of my IH western shirts are size L. The other 2 are XL. This is looking like a medium would be just on the larger size for me, but doable... if not for those sleeves! Bummer, I was really looking forward to this one. I'll inquire about a medium with longer sleeves, but honestly, I'd need another inch, and that seems unlikely.

@Shane-B may I ask if you are wearing your usual size large?
Thank you -
I guess it's one of those can't please everyone situations with the sizing. I am looking at the size chart and thinking wow that is awesome. I usually have to get SP-Large due to 3XL having too small a chest/shoulders for me.

When wearing a size XS in most IH shirts over the past 6 years and then a recalibration sets the sizes larger without adding a size XXS, the only option is to size up to a shirt that fits way too big. And with the shorter length and sleeves for the given sizes from previous dimensions, the option to shrink the shirt is off the table since it will then be too short. Not complaining - and I get it - IH has to make changes to sell items if that is where the numbers are - and I’m just one customer (but with a very average slim build).
