IHSH-68-ind - 12oz Wabash Work Shirt - Indigo

[Seul]

Go true to size. And yeah: it's possibly the most kickarse shirt in the world if you can rock a workshirt… Everything about it is next level AWESOME...

[Chris]

Doesn't it shrink down close to a full size after multiple washings?

And how are the sleeves- slim fitting?

[Seul]

Sleeves are slim fitting, yes… But more so in the upper arm part than in the lower part... As I stated in my review, I was able to put on my watch without undoing the sleeve/ hem...

I think I washed mine twice and no shrinkage occurred... Of course, I didn't keep it long enough to give you any accurate intel on that... 

[Chris]

Yeah, I read your review, but I have Popeye forearms, so that's my main concern.  I love this shirt, but it would kill me to buy it and then have to give it up because it was cutting off the circulation in my hands after a few washes.

[Seul]

Yeah I don't wanna be the lad that sells you on an ill-fitting shirt, Houston… Sleeve-slimness is one of those things that's never been an issue for me... So I can't help ya there...

How do you feel about a good ole roled up sleeve though?.. 

[Chris]

I love a rolled up sleeve, in fact, that's probably the only way I'd wear this one.  Just hesitant to make the commitment.  I've been wavering back and forth on this one for months.  Every once in a while I re-read the thread, put the shirt in my basket and then talk myself out of it again.

Cowboy Up Chris…..

[Chris]

Yeah, I know.  I'm pathetic.

Chris, as a fellow Popeye, I tried my normal XL size and it felt fine, good fit all round. Because of the taper on the sleeves I generally find it difficult to roll the sleeves up on my IH shirts (impossible on my 33); for reference my forearms are 13" at the widest point.

[Chris]

That is good to know.  I normally wear a size Large and also have 13" forearms.  Based on the measurements, an XL would probably fit really well.  That might have been all I needed to go over the edge.;)

[Seul]

Come March 2k15, we might see some fit pics…

[Chris]

Not with that attitude, you won't.

[MikeC]

This shirt with the Vulcans and your Loden Vibergs would be tough as fuck bro. I'm into the indigo and green look lately, a lot.

[Chris]

Actually, I was thinking more about wearing it with a pair of ducks (and my Vibergs), kinda like this:

Once I get it to fade a bit, then I'll mix in the jeans.  I try not to go too monochromatic, and since I can't fade denim worth crap, that limits my dark blue shirts.

@Giles:

It's fecking brilliant.  How's that? 

Yep, that'll probably do it

Will go XXL, the XL 47 and XL 22 are getting a bit tight 'round the chesticles lately.

C'mon Chris, I'm game if you are..

[Chris]

Well then, you better get your wallet out- my order was placed about 5 minutes ago.:D

And Seul, I've marked my calendar: "Fit pics due, March 2015".

[Seul]

Shit…

@Chris:

Opened, emptied and ordered

[Giles]

And caught….
