@Chris:

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

Opened, emptied and ordered

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.

@Chris:

since I can't fade denim worth crap, that limits my dark blue shirts.

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."

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.

[Finn666]

that Chris, he crazy yo!…

[grandmasterben]

G, you have any idea when you'll get hit with a restock of these? (Preferably medium)…

[Giles]

I have to order a load as H does not stock in Japan.  I will do thta in the next couple of weeks and then production is about 12 weeks.  G

[grandmasterben]

Cool, more time for me to save. Ill pester you more when you get them in :P. thanks G!

Anybody got any pics of this shirt with some evo showing? Would love to see how wabash ages, since it's not a fabric that I've ever owned; regardless, I'm still hoping to pick this shirt up before the end of the month
