IHSH-62-WHT - 12oz Wabash Western Shirt - White

I like this shirt. Probably be awesome with the turquoise snaps.

@goosehd I hear you wanted to see these…

[Jett129]

I was thinking turquoise as well, but forgot to do it.

Sam, Alex;

Thank you for doing this!

Decisions, decisions,…..

Here you go a couple of quick pictures right out of the coveted "Blue Bag". Love the shirt,material is definitely softer than my Black Wabash. I know the sleeves are a little long. Should be the worst problem I have this year.    The pictures don't really do the shirt justice,probably should've used a flash.

Very stylish @Jett129 , it really suits you. I think a hot wash would sort that long sleeve out. My experience is that IH wabash can be washed at high temps and shrinkage is more marked in vertical measurements than horizontal ones.

Thank you everyone. This is definitely going to become my,go to,going out/nice restaurant shirt.

I got mine today. Already have the 62-IND and BLK, so this purchase was a no-brainer. Perfect shirt in every way. However, I might send it back to Gosport someday to have the snaps swapped. Not sure yet.

The shirt looks great and a nice, slightly smarter looking alternative to the usual casual look.

I'm very close to pulling the trigger, but am unsure about the snap upgrades.  Is there any specific reason why heavy duty is being suggested, as opposed to normal?  I like the basic turquoise, but don't want to get that if it's somehow inadequate.

[Alex]

Because of the thickness of the fabric, the lightweight snaps won't work as well.
Also, They way that the existing snaps are fitted means you would be left with an unattractive end result I think by downgrading all the hardware

[wdw]

Thanks Alex.  Just to be clear, are the standard snaps on the shirt somehow more robust than the basic snap upgrades?

[Giles]

The reason we use heavy duty on some shirts is the "lightweight" snaps simply do not work on the heavy fabrics (the retaining claws are not long enough)…..............

[wdw]

Thanks again.  Final stupid question - is the snap on the shirt the same as the black heavy upgrade?

[Alex]

Yessir

[wdw]

And here we have it.  A very nice alternative to the usual suspects.

^ Very nice fit. How’s the fabric feeling? As stiff as the regular wabash? Looking forward to receiving mine next week.

[wdw]

Thanks @neph93.  It has a similar feel to the 33s, but a bit less stiff than my black Wabash.  I went up a size on this, just to be safe and also because white is more likely to need a hot wash than darker colours.

[Jett129]

Definitely not as stiff as the regular Wabash.
