IHSH-137 - Spring Weight Mini Herringbone Check Western Shirts

[Witt]

@Jordan, you and I are pretty close in size. I also look at the numbers but I still want to know why the sizes are off. It's just the engineer in me and maybe there is no answer but I wanted to throw it out there.

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.

Whoops quoted myself instead of editing… It's still early

[Giles]

Certainly easier to make and with less fabric waste, but not the reason that sizes differ…..

Copped and pimped and what a beauty!

^ Looking great with the MOP-snaps … well done

Bugger!  The size L I ordered is a bit too small for me. If it shrinks a tiny bit I'm screwed.
I'll have to return it for a XL I'm afraid.

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.

@Nomad:

the current Mrs Nomad

I put it a little differently - "The current lucky Mrs Padmore"….

^ 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.

That yellow looks killer @Finn666, that's an XL, right?  I've got a XXL yellow en route!
