IHSH-127 - 2015 Ultra Heavy Buffalo Check Western Shirts
-
Picked these up on the way back home today. Love the red and the green and am uncertain about the grey. Fitpics to follow.
If you dont like the grey…
-
Interesting the split of opinions on the colours, the red immediatly appealed to me, the grey less so, just lacks the impact slightly… And the green well, I know it just plain wont suit me.
-
The gray is definitely my favorite. The other colors seem a little too lumberjack-esque in my opinion. Although besides indigo blue in jeans, everything I wear is black.
-
@cole must applaud the hat trick! Well done sir, well done.

For those of a size M persuasion you are fecked… Re checked the measurements and mine sadly bares zero reality to the published sizing, closer 'in real life' to my size Small 41 rather than the published numbers. Esp when compared to the published 101 numbers, le sigh... Basically the same shirt, same tag sizes but totally out of whack. Medium and down will going spare all round...
When I buy a 'designer' (vomit.) brand item from a made in europe or made in US manufacturer it's always fairly consistent measurement wise, when dealing with a higher end piece it makes no sense that the consistency can't be followed, pretty crappy for the end punters.
A bit of consistency is not too much to ask?
-
Strange as i have had no issues with the items I have ordered.
OK these are limited run, hand made garments so some variety is inevitable, but effectivly a whole size variation sounds like a mislabeled shirt maybe?maybe contact the crew and see what they can do?
-
If I understand your post correctly, the measurements you took on your shirt do not match those on the sizing table?
If that's right, then I'm sure IHUK will work with you.

What the 101 measured is irrelevant, this was not the 101. We published sizing of actuals before they went live and as @Madame Buttonfly said above, her and @Winchy measured 2 of each and compared. If yours is out of whack then we'll take it back no questions asked or expected and at no cost to you.
But thanks for pointing it out, I'll make a point of bitching about it next time I sit down with the seamstresses, it's obviously something that we had not spotted before…..

…I do recall the sizing issue being brought up prior to the live drop. Furthermore, Paula offered to measure shirts prior to shipping them out. I understand you're frustrated but, tone it down a bit. After all, IHUK offers returns for refunds.

Great work. Did you stick with XL?
-
I mentioned earlier in the thread that these did seem to sew up small. Of course it all depends on how you like your shirts to fit and how your "normal" IH shirt size fits you, but I would almost recommend to size up one from your normal size on these.
-
I have the green and red in both XL (my normal size) and XXL and I will more than likely sell my XLs.
-
Its on every product page ( i think )
"The best way to determine the size you need is to measure a similar item you already own and compare with the actual sizing as per the table below. Do not go by tagsize alone."
Look carefully at the measurements. Only then select which 'tag size' to order.
I have ordered from XL to XXL. Depending on item and fit i want. Been happy each time.
-
Effin brilliant shirts though and I agree with @Cole, the red and green are awesome colorways. The grey doesn't do it for me, too bland IMO…but hey that's just my opinion. The green though, awesome color in person.
-

Yes, I did stick with XL. I would have prefered the sleeve length of the xxl, but then the chest would have been to big. The grey one is the snug one out of the three. I''ll try to get fitpics up tomorrow.

The grey is the unique color, I haven't experienced much like it before, it's nice, it's low key, with the overdyed 634's it's downright bad ass.
The red is very typical, in fact grocery shopping today I saw 3 old dudes that looked like they had the exact same shirt on, luckily the fit on theirs was shitty and the fabric looked like ass (printed thin flannel gross) so I personally know why the red 127 is worth what it is, but to a pedestrian it won't stand out as much. I feel this one will get the most wear though, I bet with faded out jeans it will look unbeatable
I don't have the green yet, but will and I expect I will also love that one a lot. I got the green 107 and didn't expect to like it half as much as I love it
@spitfiredealer I went with my standard L, these fit a bit more trim everywhere than the 107, and are a bit shorter in body and length. I can do detailed side by side pics and measurements tonight if anyone is interested.
-
It's the shoulders for me on the XL I am concerned with. Smaller than the 107 which means it could be a no no for me.
-
Shoulders are a negligible difference IMHO, not enough to feel it, only noticeable difference is the length so far
