IHSH-56 Westpoint Western Shirt

[dave]

Just got mine up from UPS… This might be one of the best shirts you guys have come up with!  It's going to be hard to resist wanting to pick up all three.

i'm real curious about the material, i'm happy all the xl khaki's are gone.  that was my favorite from the gate

[dave]

It's thick and heavy like the chambray, but not as coarse and rigid.  It is somewhat tough, but I think it will soften with washing.

[madmonday]

thanks for the description of the fabric dave.  much appreciated, & it actually eases my anxiety & lusting after this shirt.

[dave]

My pleasure, I think

Come to think of it, it's more like poly cotton with out the poly and maybe a tad bit stiffer.  Fit is similar to the chambray, though.

I had huge expectations when reading about this shirt, I mean, I look forward to every new IHSH. Today this one arrived in two colours, ivory and kaki.
How was it?
It was beyond belief. It was unreal. Perfect colours, perfect fit, perfect fabric.
I think the sizing will be no issue to most. I use L in most IHSH and have a few XL. I was immediately sure the L was the right size when trying. It's short, but in a good way, arms do not seem short at all.

you mind to share your fit with us?…would be nice to see it...great to hear that both worked for you though

[Copenhagen]

Bit shy about, but will try…

I got mine today. It's unreal. I put a fit pic on the IH Intl Facebook page. If someone wants to xpost, it's cool with me. I'm usually on my old ass iPhone and it's easier to snap a quick pic and throw it up on fb.

Don't sleep…...

sounds great Mike and you can just use tapatalk to post iphone pics right into the forum…

and Finn, good 

[MikeC]

Thanks Rocket, I'm on it. A few things about the IHSH-56:

-the fabric is very stiff but smooth. It also stands up good against the wind.
-chainstitching is very thick on this one. You can tell it was typical IH and stubborn to work with.
-length was not an issue for me, it was spot on. Could be an issue if your tall (I'm 5'10" and got a xxl).

would love to see more fit pics of this, particularly the ivory…

[dave]

I washed mine and now it has some wild roping along the bottom.

[scroogen]

Loving the IHSH-56. Is the fabric gabardine?

[Giles]

It could be.  It is one of those frustrating situations, Haraki only knows it as Westpoint and I can't find out exactly what Westpoint is….

[scroogen]

Well whatever it's made out of it is one hell of a shirt… anyway gabardine is what comes to my mind when I think of a tough as nails but also very sharp military style shirt... but I'll try not to think about what it is and just enjoy the shirt

Got the pic, too f******* stupid to know how to post it.
I go to insert image and do what?
