IHSH-137 - Spring Weight Mini Herringbone Check Western Shirts
-
I'm an XL, and a L, depending on the shirt. I always check the posted measurements before ordering so I don't have any too big, or too small. Does it have to do with these items being made for multiple markets? Maybe.

@Witt I am in the same boat as you. I am an XL in all my IH shirts. I have…7 now. So 5 before the 137, I got both...ha. 6 are westerns, 1 work shirt. My 126 XL fits looser than any others, even my two 64s. My XL 92 was the most slim fitting in the chest, but a GREAT cut for my body and length.
I am 6'1" about...195-200lbs. The 92 still feels a little more snug in chest(by IHUK measurements it is .1" smaller in chest, but is a duck weave, not flannel). The 137 being a flannel, it did stretch a little and now they fit better than when I first tried them! This is one of my favorite cuts I have or tried from IH.
To put simply, don't worry...you will be in LOVE real soon!
I never go by tag size, I always make sure the numbers are right. I know what the smallest numbers I can go with in the most critical areas.

Different fabrics behave differently, so they sew up differently. Indeed different batches of fabric can behave differently from each other - in the extreme, different parts of the same roll can behave differently. We try and ensure consistency (unless we are deliberately altering the cut), but sometimes we get caught out. I we move shirt production from one factory to another, we will actually resample existing shirts as the way a shirt sews up in one factory can be different from another. We are dealing with organic stuff, it just is not consistent. I'm always an L or XL. When I used to wear other brands, I had the similar issues, so it's not unique to IH… I am sure with the larger brands who weave more fabric at once, who sew up in more automated factories in massive batches, get mire consistency, but I bet there's still some variance....

Correct me if I'm
Wrong, but I would guess chambrays and other solid color shirts are a bit easier to match sizing than plaids and stiles due to pattern matching.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Cheers @Finkster and the best thing was, UPS turned up 10 minutes after the current Mrs Nomad left for work
Great shirt, perfect weight IMHO, the collar sits nicely and doesn't have a tendency to curl up like a UHF, definitely comes up slightly slimmer. -
^ will use from now on.

G, thanks for the explanation I figured it was something like that but I wanted to hear it from you. Lol. Even with the slimmer cut the shirt is awesome. I just can't layer underneath it. I was hoping that all the time in the gym was really paying off, but sadly it'd just a slimmer cut!

I don't really see the problem, I was L / XL in all IH Shirts so far and would fit in XL here as well. And with the given exact measurements it's super easy to pick the correct size. I guess most of the guys here could describe their perfect Shirt/Tee/Jeans/Jacket measurements from their memory.
