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

[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…

Opened, emptied and ordered

[Giles]

And caught….

@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.;)

After writing that and reading the rest of this thread, I think I've nearly talked myself into it as well…...payday approaches, hmm  :-\

[Mild7]

So here she is..

I love the shirt, but the fit not so much.  Looks a bit sack like me thinks.

Should I try a hot wash and hope for some shrink, or send back and size down? Or maybe I should stick to Western cuts???

[MikeC]

It will fall and Workshirts are supposed to be more relaxed for working in.

Oh how I hear you. Maybe the whale penis will help?

[seanocono]

I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one who can't fade denim… I've had my eye on the 68 for a while. Love my 62.

Mild7, MikeC is right. The Wabash is heavy and just needs time to settle a bit.  I've had the same concern as you, however, re: the fit of work shirts versus westerns. I think your fit looks good, and will look even better after a few wears. The shoulders, sleeves, and length are spot on. It's just a little stiff because it's brand new... This one is officially added to "the list."

[Mild7]

thanks MikeC and seanocono.  and no epic fadezz here either

[Chris]

Yeah, as long as it feels good to you, I think the fit is excellent.

[Chris]

Who should buy this shirt?

You should!

At first you'll think, " Damn, it's so heavy…  When I pick it up, it's like this"

Then you'll put it on, and you'll think, " Damn, this makes me look good."

[DougNg]

Ok, that's enough, I'm taking away your camera

[Chris]

I won't lie, it was a weird afternoon.

[joesaintjohn]

Whatever Chris! That shit is clutch!

[Mild7]

for real. Nice one Chris.
