IHSH-62-IND - 12oz Wabash Western Shirt - Indigo

[Bluegrass]

Love the 62 but the back of the shirt tail keeps "rolling up" - can't get it to lay flat.  Anyone try ironing it down or any other tricks?  Or is this a unique issue for me?

Common issue, Bluegrass.  It happens with other shirts, but I've noticed it most on the 62 and 68.  Nothing you can do as far as I know, except embrace it.  It doesn't bother me a bit.

[Bluegrass]

Thanks man, it won't keep me from wearing the shirt, thats for sure. Glad to know its not just me, though.

All of my heavy shirts have done that. My 62, 99, and 32 all have an edge like cooked bacon.

[Snowy]

Yup, common and annoys me. Never had it happen on any non-Heavy gear. Has to be something to do with the type of stitch but what? Annoys me less than loving the shirt, but do wish it didn't happen to begin with LO

I don't think it happens with plain weaves, just with twills. Has anyone ever had a chambray do that? For me it's always denim.

Same thing happens with my wabash and hickory stripe shirts.  Doesn't happen with my white chambray or TW houndstooth shirts.  Maybe it has something to do with the twill weave versus the basket weave.  I'll admit that the curling bothers me, especially since ironing doesn't seem to help, but I love the wabash and the hickory stripe shirts too much to let it keep me from wearing them.

I will discuss with H in May…..

tbh. i actually quite like/enjoy that little "detail"…takes away the seriousness and adds a little more "cool" to the shirts!

[ohighyo]

Mine does the same thing.

It was a bit over the top on my 62, but I ironed it and now it seems better. On my other heavies (81 and 34) it's a "gentle curve" vs. roll.  And no curling at all on my new 76 - lays flat as a pancake.

Hello all, my first post in IH forums. I tried to wait to make it worthwhile with some real wear on my wabash. I've had my 62 for a couple months and I am loving it. By far my favorite shirt. I did my best to capture some of the aging on it so far.

Also just was admiring it on the train today next to my 9526V and I was wondering… Is this thing left hand twill? I inspected the direction of the weave on the other westerns on the photos and it looks like the wabash twill is the opposite direction. I never noticed it until now.

Enjoy!

[Giles]

WOW, nice evo.  Don't know about the twill direction.  I'll take a look tomorrow when I get back to the office….

[FormulaPfaff]

Thanks Giles! I was stuck on the tracks and just started geeking out a bit. I tend to get a little nerdy when i have nothing to look at but my denim for an hour with nowhere to go…

[Snowy]

FormulaPfaff, great first post. That's some serious evo and a great looking fit to boot.

[FormulaPfaff]

thank you very much Snowy. I'm glad you enjoyed the post. I'm very pleased with the fit as well. It's definitely the best fitting and most interesting shirt I own so far. I can't wait to get more IH stuff to beat up.

[Seul]

Formula: one of the best fits I've seen in this shirt… Jeans are looking spiffin as well!..

[Anesthetist]

Damn, that evo looks fantastic!

[Chris]

You're right- the wabash is a left hand twill.  Good to see one with some fading, too.  Thanks for the pics.
