IHSH-55 - Wabash Western

[Seul]

I'm still wondering whether a size S would work or not… Bear with me: my best fitting IH shirts are the 50 and the 43... Specs:

50 (M): s2s 17, p2p 21 (most important measurements for me)
43 (M): s2s 17.3", p2p 21.5"
55 (S): s2s 16.8", p2p 21.5"

Length on 43 size M and 55 size S is the same... Help!..

[J-IV]

I'd say S.
From what I know, this shirt won't shrink. And if one of your best fitting shirt has the same measurements as a S, it's your best bet. XS looks too small and M looks a tad too big for your taste.

DO NOT SIZE DOWN IN THIS SHIRT…...

can tell you that you are not the only one thinking about this… if the shoulders are ok for you, think it should work

but I decided for me to go for a M, once they come back in stock and I get chance to buy one…

Awaiting restock then.

[Giles]

It is my experience that the heft of this fabric makes it feel smaller than the measurements suggest…....G

[Seul]

That said I have decided not to get the new 08 in M then… Thanks G.

[rocket]

yeah Dr.Pat said something like this as well, what did let me stay on the safe way, any word on a restock date?

[Giles]

On the way from Japan at the moment, they may even be here before the sale ends…...

[rocket]

interesting…

[Seul]

I know markmont is on the hunt for a M and that guy doesn't fool around… Will have to be quick to the draw when resupplied...

i experienced this to be true

[DrPat]

This shirt is slightly larger than the IH standard but in my opinion not large enough to size up.

The model on the Self Edge web site looks like he sized down based upon how the sleeves and shoulders look:

That guy always seems to be going for the XS…

@Seul:

That guy always seems to be going for the XS…

so true.. was just about to say that this guy always looks like crap. not because of his mustache, just because he always sizes down 3.

Waiting for monday to say I size down too much as well…

@madmonday:

^^^^^

he washed, that usually includes agitation. how bad are the sleeves that you want to shrink them up?

I figured the OD would get rid of all the shrinkage thanks for confirming G,

I  exchanged my XL for L….

Monday, I wanted to make sure it would stay the same size...  I ended up being between sizes on this one.  The XL was just to big across the shoulders and back I was getting weird bunching.  We will see, If I do not like the large I will sell it to get the IHD-01.  I Only have shirt because I wanted to get rid of some super old SE store credit..... Hope you had a merry Christmas Monday !

I would agree with G on this….  Here is a conversation I had with Monday.  I have lost a little weight and I felt the XL was a little big.  Should have given the XL a chance to drape. XL is my normal IH size.  Now I have to decide If I should try and sell the L as new or wear it.....

[madmonday]

how bad is it?  if you can close up 5 out of 7 buttons i say keep it & wear it.  otherwise, that blows & good luck with the sale
