IHSH-62-IND - 12oz Wabash Western Shirt - Indigo

[joephoto]

Looking at pulling the trigger on my first IH shirt… while the XXL is probably my size, considering the shrinkage when washed, will the XXXL shrink to more of an XXL after a few washes?

Thanks
Joe

@joephoto Most IH shirts shrink very little if at all - many are sanforized and others are rinsed - make sure you read the description carefully they usually mention shrinkage expectations and sizing advice.  I always wear one size in IH shirts, and I've never had an issue with shrinkage - even though sizing varies product to product, I've always found the measurements to be very accurate.

P.S. on the particular shirt it says "These come slightly oversized, they will shrink by about 1-1.5cms in length and chest with frequent washing."

Thats good to know. I'll start with the XXL and see how this shirt works for me and go from there.

once you get it, if you find you can't afford to lose 2 cm, you can exchange it!

This shirt shrinks a little but not a full size. I strongly recommend measuring a shirt you own and comparing while taking the shrinkage mentioned in the product page into account.

Excellent choice by the way. This is one of my favourite shirts.

Just got my 62 today and I am blown away. That is what quality in a shirt feels like. Thanks everyone for the help with sizing. I think I need to avoid looking at the X's in the size and focus on the numbers that work for my body. But now I know what suits me and can't wait to buy a few more shirts.

Great stuff. If you want some advice from a long time owner and IH wabash fan, wear it hard and only wash it when it smells bad. The fabric develops like no other.

Oh yeah, and get some fit pics up [emoji6][emoji851][emoji1]

Restocked. Medium and XXXL now available again.

I have now soaked this shirt 3 times and machine washed it 3 times.
I gave it the 3rd machine wash this monday.
I got quite surprised that it still had some shrinkage left in it.
It has now shrunk so much that it is almost the smallest Large I got. Started out as the biggest

If you haven't gotten this shirt yet, do it! It's a classic and incredibly durable fabric and one of the best looking IH shirts out there (although there are a lot of great ones)

I work at a family business and we recently brought my brother-in-law onboard so he is just now getting a taste of my IH wardrobe. I walked in to work this morning and the first thing he said was "Look at that shirt! Fancy!" lol…get yourself one, you won't regret it! I love mine so much I got it in black too...

[UnTucked]

Definitely one of my favs, and I just like it more and more as it evo's

[madmoses]

@UnTucked same here - mine is finally starting to lose some indigo and getting nice elbow combs. I've treated my black more gingerly so far as I've used it in semi dressy settings, but the indigo just begs to be worked in.

The evolution of the wabash actually benefits massively from regular washing as well as hard wear. My 68-IND is seriously fekked up now and I adore it.

Yeah, after my second wash I realized this. I've been celebrating Wabash Wednesday's nearly every week since, lol

Those guys in Indonesia REALLY know how to wear out some indigo!

We have dropped the prices on all Wabash shirts. Westerns to USD300, Work to USD285

This is still one shirt that has been around since i knew about IH and still want. But there have been tons of other shirts that I wanted more haha. Maybe one day.

[neph93]

@Jordonf9  The struggle is real! The classic extant products get pushed out by the seasonal stuff. I still don’t have a 13 or a 21, for example [emoji849]

I’ll say this though, I picked up the 68 early on in my IH «career» and now have six wabash items (soon to be seven). They are all glorious, but the indigo 62 is probs the best of the lot. The fabric is unique and the cut is sharp. I can honestly say you’re doing yourself a disservice by passing on it.
