Wabash on a sunny afternoon.

Perfect

Looks great, nemesis. I'm really hoping to add a 55 to accompany my 62 someday. They're both pretty special – even by IH standards.

its a top shirt m8y,,love the old colouration,,,,think it will look better with age,,and with more evo on my jeans it will stand out more

[seanocono]

Yeah, I couldn't agree more. They just get better over time. I think the 55 still looks really good with jeans, even when it's new, due to the brown tint. I like wearing the 62 with ducks – at least until I can fade my jeans or the 62 a little better.

Here's my fit in an XL. The sleeves are about 0.75"-1.0" too long, but after several washes, I think the puckering at the seams will take them up a little (and yes, I know it's overdyed, so the shrink is gone). I'm using it as an Overshirt right now anyways.  This shirt is badass.

Sorry for the dark pic, super overcast today.

^ you know that Max Power got some shrinkage out of his IHD-01od right?! just give it a super hot wash…

in case anyone is interested it looks like tuckshop has a IHSH-55 Large up for sale on the site…. I would have nabbed it if I didn't already own the 62.

[seanocono]

^Great find. Wish TSS carried larger sizes, but understand why they don't.

MikeC, I don't think you'd have a problem unloading the XL if you were to jump on this L.

[MikeC]

I cold washed and hot dried my XL 55 and it shrunk 0.5" in length and 0.8" in the sleeves.  I can tell its gonna fit perfect after several wears and washes. Puckering to the rescue!!!

Pleased for you Mike. The 55 is such a great shirt. I get more compliments on it than any other clothing I own.

Glad you like it Mike. Give it hell!

[MikeC]

Thanks again Brooks.

Going out in this Filthy combo tonight

Fucking A, I love this shirt. Traded with Nem for a L.


After seeing both IH wabash(s), I'm definitely partial to the 1st run. The brown retarding overdye is a really nice touch. It gives the fabric a vintage feel without being pre-distressed looking (ala RRL). Get some!!!

[tatmantall]

I agree completely, though I have only owned the latter version, I prefer the look ofvthe 55 and honestly from the measurement tables I think I'd like the cut better as well. The newest wabash western is cut very strange, IMO, I've never been able to out my finger on what it is but it just doesn't fit like it should in the lower part. It's almost like it flares out to a whole size bigger at the bottom as opposed to the shoulders and chest being snug fitting if that makes sense
