Just got the wabash in, very happy with it!
The fabric has a nice heft to it, definitely not too hot to wear in the summer which is what I was hoping for.
Nice uniform. crunchy fabric pre-wash.
Gave it a cold wash and is now hanging to dry, this shirt sure did bleed a lot. Made my hands turn blue when I was hanging it up afterward!

very nice @Broark - interested in seeing/hearing how it fits after it dries. Once thing I have learned… Christophe makes sure you don't get shorthanded in the indigo department with any of his gear! My midnight riders have been soaked 3 times and machine washed twice - they look brand new and still leave indigo over everything! My indigo gunslingers were the same way - they crocked for the entire time I had them.... speaking of... @FormulaPfaff have you given those another try at wearing them?

@Broark congrats on that tabby - I am very jeaous!
More pics when you get a chance….@Appfaff I busted the shipyard chinos out today - here is a front and back (with my new IH flannel) and RCs. I would get your usual size - although the sizing seemed "generous" on the charts, after a soak they seem to fit like all my other MF pants. Also they are a bit high waisted, so if you have any belly (like me) you would appreciate the extra room. I had forgotten about the "dick rivet" - cool feature imo!

Fantastic! Thanks so much!!! They look great BTW!

Thanks guys, I will try to get some fit pics soon. Just got back home and the shirt is still drying, almost done though.
The fabric feels like it has a bit more texture now. Hoping it didn't shrink a whole lot because I liked the presoak fit but it was just a little bit big. One thing of note is that the sleeves on this one aren't very long, so if you have longer arms beware. -
Slipped the shirt on this morning and I really like the fit. I'm glad I went with the XXL since it shrunk down a little.
Just incase you guys were interested here's the measurements post wash, taken the IH way:
Shoulders: 19 in.
Chest: 23.5 in.
Length: 30 in.
Waist: 23 in.
Opening: 23.5
Sleeve length: 25.5 -
God those measures are my exactly perfect measurements…. This is gonna be hard to pass on!

Thanks @Broark - i'll keep my eye peeled on it!
Was on the site looking at size charts and for some reason (even though I've seen them 100 times), these really caught my eye… they look awesome without the turn ups and if you do cuff, they will have a big WOW factor - when the social situation calls for it.

Similar to the shipyards, it appears I am right in between the XL and XXL. Meaning if I try to shrink the XXL down to waist size, the hem will always be bigger than I prefer - if I get the XL, I will only be able to carefully hand wash... oh the back and forth!

25.5 inch sleeve on an XXL? My gorilla arms count me out of this one. That is the shortest sleeve I could manage (with those larger shoulders), and I would be swimming in the rest. It's a very cool shirt and different enough from the 55 that I would have liked to try it. Oh well. Please do keep us posted with pics as it evolves.

I'm sure Cristian could check to see if they have one in stock with longer arms - all my MFSC shirts had "long" sleeves for me except the Sportsman Metisse. Once I got the chest where I needed it, the sleeves were too short

The sleeves are a little short, but it doesn't really look comical or anything I don't think.
Maybe I mis-measured the sleeves, I'll check again tomorrow.
Also this shirt looks nice with the sleeves rolled up, a good way to show off the Stifle boot print.
One detail that I honestly overlooked a bit is the indigo dyed poplin fabric on the button inside placket. It's really a great shade of indigo that contrasts with the dark indigo of the shirt. I'll have to get a macro shot of it.
Wore the shirt today, just as an overshirt but wanted to give it a test run. Really like the fit of it buttoned up by itself too, probably will try that out this weekend. It's a bit slimmer through the mid-section that some of my IH shirts in the same size, but I think it still works. Plus they say vertical stripes are slimming right?

Looks good @Broark! Back in the day, I was a big fan of Thom Browne suits, and their main characteristics was a shrunken appearance in the sleeve, body length and inseam (not that I could afford them or had the body to wear them). I would much prefer a slightly shorter sleeve than one that is too long and looks unkept. Solid pick up - enjoy it!

Speedway Pique - original American Sportswear Edition.
Spoke to Tyler at Indigo Proof and I think we are gonna hem these and use the Extra fabric to make belt loops.
