IHSH-62-WHT - 12oz Wabash Western Shirt - White
-
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.
-
I would have heavy pimped any other 62 or 33, but I plan to also use this for less obviously casual wear, so stuck with the plain black snaps. It'll be interesting to see your upgrade.

My plan is the exact opposite of yours. I have a couple of very nice white IH shirts (the 67 and the 119) that only get worn a few times a year, because they are white and semi smart. I want to wear the living shit out of this one, so I went pimptastic on it.

Ha, @neph93, I didn't mean I'd just wear it on smart occasions. It'll definitely be mostly casual, like down the pub watching bands this weekend, but l'll also wear it to work tomorrow for dress down day and restaurants etc.
I think this'll be really flexible and right away I prefer it to my black wabash. If you saw my pic with the 02-DD, that combo reminds me of Status Quo circa 1973, which has a nice nostalgic vibe.
Which snaps did you go for?

I did and it looks fekkin' boss. I'm going to try my indigo vests with it as a result of your pic. You also reminded me that I need to buy an 02-DD. Thanks for that.

This looks bad ass. Top of my list for sure!
Imitation is the most sincere form of flattery…I'll be doing my best Neph impersonation by next week! Absolutely killing it with the copper snap upgrades.
This was on my radar when it first came out, but this x-posted fit pic made it an insta cop when I saw it today. Very well played and great combo, man!

Worn great @neph93 i don't think i could pull that off but looks pretty great on ya!

Cheers @illo59
@Dishelveled I am flattered indeed… thank you again. I do love wabash and the white version is a wonderful iteration. The copper snaps seemed an obvious way to go big. That being said I didn't expect all the love this pic has gotten here and on WAYWT :o
Looking forward to your pics, I think you're going to enjoy wearing it.
@Jett129 I think rugged is the word. It dresses the shirt down a little (and I'm all about dressing down
) -
Going to soak this in the shower and wear it dry to help break her in, but this is love at first sight! Well done neph, thanks for the inspiration, brother!

@Dishelveled Fits well and looks epic on you.

^ agree w/twin. That’s a sweet looking shirt!

Does this mean showering with the shirt on?
-
Thanks Twin & Rox! Def happy as a pig in mud with it.
Yeah, totally shower with it on
and keep the towel worn around the waist to absorb the drips during drying. Some how that seems easier than soaking in a bucket and totaly don't trust the old ass top loader with my IHs.
Find wearing it dry helps forms the combs and creases to the body–not trying to shrink it just lose the brand new look. Def helped with the heavier 17oz CPO.Sent from my SM-G935P using Tapatalk

This shirt is really starting to tempt me.

Looking very sharp, @neph93 and @Dishelveled. This shirt is a grower, a bit different and very versatile.
-
That’s an interesting technique, sounds a bit uncomfortable tho. Thanks for the explanation.
