IHSH-62-IND - 12oz Wabash Western Shirt - Indigo
-
The measurements on the sleeves seem a little long. Has anyone who owns the shirt had any issues with that?
-
The sleeves on most IH shirts are relatively long. It has to do with Haraki-san designing with bikers in mind. These shirts will shrink a little especially in the arms and body and that takes care of it.
I have this shirt and I’m more of a t-rex than a gorilla and don’t find it a problem.

Well, neph's answer is more thoughtful and informative, as always, but I roll up the sleeves on all my shirts, so I've never noticed a problem.
This shirt is worth picking up, even if you think the sleeves are a bit long. I'm wearing the black one today, as a matter of fact.
-
I don't like too-long sleeves, but just roll them up whenever possible anyway, so never find it an issue.
As for this shirt, I bought it fairly recently and wish I'd got it years ago, as it looks good and is tough enough to take any amount of punishment. I gave it a couple of very hot washes when new and lost about 0.75" on the sleeves, if I remember right.

IMHO it’s the definitive IH shirt. I realise that is controversial (UHF’s, 33’s, 21’s etc), but the 68 and the 62 embody everything IH is about for me. Tough as fekk, undeniably stylish, and just gets better and better the more you wear it.

Thanks for the suggestions. I just got worried that they were going to be a little too long. When I compared them to the 21's and 33's, they seemed longer. The worst case scenario is I might have to roll them up!
-
@Matty123 love the combo!
This is precisely why I’m so looking forward to those 888s you have on. I’m the kind of guy who needs contrast between my tops and bottoms. The all indigo look for me is usually a no go for this reason. The xhs-ib are dark enough that I’ll still get contrast with the wabash or the 165. I cannot wait for those jeans!
-
Thanks @tvenuto glad I could help. I really love this denim and I’ve been wearing it everyday everywhere I go. And yeah it goes well with the wabash. I on the other hand am a fan of them denim tuxedo. I think wabash looks great with some IH 21 oz and the like. I love it with my 888NT. Can’t wait for you to have a pair!

Probably worth mentioning that despite being the same nominal weight as the denim on the 33’s this fabric is stiffer and thicker. This means you lose more length when the creases form at the elbows and cuffs. So that plus shrinkage should account for a couple of cms.

Thanks for the tip! They, unfortunately, are out of stock in my size right now. Hoping for a restock or a return.

Not sure If I should tuck shirt in or not?

I am usually not a tucker, but when you have a belt like that, show it off–plus, I think it probably looks better not poking out beneath the jacket, though I wear that look a lot with my A-2 and trucker jackets.

Yeah thats what I was thinking, I love this belt (Samurai) but it usually gets covered …plus when my weight is down I'm not trying to hide a gut lol
