IHSH-80 - Indigo Check Western Shirts - Blue & Red

[Friday]

It's a bit tapered yes, but I'm liking arms length and chest. Also, gives me a reason to exercise again. By the way I went with my usual L.

@Seul:

Joule: that is one héll of a cute pic…

Thanks Seul.  I also got my MBBs today and figure a puppy should speed up the evo on those babies (separate buying decision)

kind of regret not going tts in this but was worried the P2P and arm length was gonna be too tight for decent mobility… oh well

[seanocono]

^Really? Hmm. I am kind of between sizes, and go up or down depending on measurements. I went up for these and couldn't be happier with the fit. I'm wearing the red right now, and it fits like it was tailored for me. Have you tried giving them a wash?

[tatmantall]

yeah. Its not really a big deal honestly, and actually is more versatile because I can layer a thermal under it at this size… I am positive with the smaller measurements I could not have wore a shirt with any substantial weight underneath without ripping out the back of the shirt when I bend my arms... The sleeve length would have been pushing it as well, but; there are times that I wish I had a few more fitted shirts in my wardrobe.

[seanocono]

I know what you mean re: fitted shirts.  I think this is where the Henley becomes even more valuable – such a versatile piece.  I'm really looking forward to the possibility of more colors. I haven't heard anything on this front, but there is certainly enthusiasm for it.

Circling back to the 80, I think you made the right choice.  I have a 36 that is a little bit on the larger side, but the sleeves and shoulders are perfect.  Since it's a warm weather shirt (ultimate beach shirt), I kind of like it being airy.  The 80 isn't as light as the 36, but it's still pretty light.  If you want it to be a bit more substantial, you can layer with a Henley (like you alluded to; and like I'm doing now).  If it's really warm out, you can just wear it more relaxed, with a T, and enjoy the breeze.

imo, this shirt kinda feels bigger than its "suppose to". for me its not a problem since im also in between sizes, but definitely go tts if not. the shirt is extremely comfortable and looks just as good!

The P2P is def not true to size

[dave]

The width of the M I bought is like an M and the length is like an L.  Either way it's awesome

[pookguy]

Bad XXXL fit pic.  Arms are a bit long for me but ok.

[BLACKFROSTT]

[seanocono]

Enjoy

Slightly irritated with the sizing still I decided to hot wash and dry my blue 80 last night… This morning I put it on and could not ask for a better fit . I really did not think this piece would have any shrinkage since it is not a twill weave and therefore did not measure before doing but will post pre and post wash measurements on my red for anyone who might be between sized like I was and wanting a slimmer fit

[Snowy]

^Love that tatmantall :). Takes a really great garment sprinkle in a little bit of hope and willingness and you end up with the best ever :).

[Peter]

how hot is a hot wash? ^_^ gonna wash mine in 60c in a couple of days. a washed medium seems to by my ideal size!

[tatmantall]

Not sure… I have a front loading HE washer and Selected the "hot" setting... That's about as technical as it got. Sorry I can't be of more assistance
