Aren't the half westerns (13) and works (21) basically the same cut though? Or am I wrong? I thought I saw Giles and others post that the half westerns really aren't any slimmer than the works.
Do you notice a difference in the cut between the 13 and the 21? I have the 21 in indigo and black but I've considered picking up the 13 as well but I probably won't if it is cut the same as the work shirt version (21).
-
If the 13 is noticeably slimmer in the body than the 21 then I think I will pick one up. I love me some snaps!

I had the 13 in XL and the measurements were as so:
This XXL 21 measures as this:
Although they are seemingly identical, the 13 was not comfortable for me to wear, where as the 21 is quite comfy

I can definitely see where the 13 is more of a work inspired cut than a true western since the 13 was indeed more roomy in the "belly" area than say my 93 in the same size. The lighter fabric on the 93 could be why i feel more "mobile" in it although the measures were "similar."
Thanks for the heads up about the buttons falling off. I'm so OCD about buttons that I usually go ahead and reinforce on all my workshirts right off the bat.

@Appfaff thanks for those measurements, I really do appreciate it. I'm mainly looking for the waist measurement on the two though. If the 13 is trimmer in the waist than the 21 than I'm probably going to cop one.
-
I didn't measure the waist before I sold the 13, but the size charts on IHUK are very indicative of a slightly smaller waist on the current run of 13s compared to the same size on the current runs of 21s, although it also looks like the "opening" on the 21 is smaller than the 13 - which is more typical of westerns in my experience - westerns usually feature a slimmer "waist" (smallest part of the shirt) with a slight fluting from the waist to opening, where the workshirts more more boxy, meaning less "fluting" of the opening from the waist.
Sorry it that was confusing haha

no it totally makes sense, and I agree.
Thanks man.

just got a large but not sure about the fit. Although I don't currently have a favorite jean, the 21 is my favorite IH Chambray.
It's beefy & cut pretty forgivingly & just what I think of when I think of the brand.
maybe I'll try a larger-medium or a smaller-large :-\

got a Large, images later.
sleeve, shoulders & chest pretty good . . . length not so sure about.
I forgot how substantial these feel when new'ish
-
Mine has been washed countless times…..it's still quite substantial....another lifetime shirt
-
Got my original XL many moons ago & the elbows are starting to wear out, but it still feels very robust, hahahahahaha. I think I'll have to put it up in April & take it back out in September
-
Might be time for elbow patches or a short sleeve 21…..chopping a long sleeve results in a smaller arm opening than a spec made short sleeve......how do you wear out elbows
-
sleeve wear
front of shirt wear
figure everybody kind of neglect the classics & don't really post in the older threads so I'll do it
-
^^ True MM so nice to see, thanks for posting
-
Beautifully evolved 21 MM!
