IHSH-172-BLK - Black Waffle Work Shirt
-
Indeed, this black does look nice. Looks like one I would need to size up to an XXL on.
i would do the same.
-
Love this but it seems undersized. Normally an XXL gets me at or close to a 20" shoulder and 24" PtP. Considering sizing up to an XXXL but afraid the other measurements may end up too big.
First world problems indeed…

Heddels have done a nice little feature on this & yes, we do know how to cook up some top-notch waffles

I stood by my word. Took a few months but this puppy should arrive tomorrow.
Super stoked to have a waffle!

Be interested to see how this one fits and your thoughts. Had my eye on this one for ages!

@Cutlasshound - I have wanted the Indigo Waffle since it came out, but every time I went to buy it, something else came up and I realized I had 1,000 indigo shirts. I still have more than I need, but managed to get rid of my "less than perfect" fitting black button downs, so this should fit the bill nicely. Hoping sizing works well - Should be here in about 2-3 hours and I'll post up some pics!

I can safety say all my expectations have been surpassed by this beauty.
The fabric is lightweight yet substantial, buttons have a good amount of tension in the thread and the fit is perfect. The bottom hem is "flowy" but sits perfectly around the waist - I think the larger opening works well so the buttons don't pull when you sit down.
Overall, in love with it!

damn @Appfaff is killing it with his recent pick ups. How breathable is this fabric?
-
Thanks @neph93 - I also love how work shirts can be made to look like a tailored dress shirt. This one has a nice length to it, and the roomy opening creates a nice sleek look. I usually stay away from lightweight fabrics in workshirts since I do not like the inevitable "button-pull" along the placket, but the sizing worked so that the shoulder and arms are not baggy, but the best and "belly" area are not too fitted.
@manufc10 - thanks dude - my wife was kind enough to let me go a bit crazy during the SE sale this weekend lol Can't really attest to how breathable the material is, but my guess is quite. It has larger waffles than the indigo (per a post i read earlier in the thread) which means the fabric is not quite as dense. It feels great on, substantial but not "heavy." Compared to an oxford it's quite heavy, but compared to other IH shirts, it's light lol

Did you end up sizing up to an XXL?
-
@manufc10 - I did - I went XXL on all the new gear. Westerns/UHFs I usually size up anyways, and the measures for the 172 were a little too snug in XL - especially with the stretchy material - glad I did. I feels comfy over the 1610, and could probably work over my IHTB-06 if needed. I think the solid black would look killer over the reed/white stripe of the 06.
