IHSH-62-IND - 12oz Wabash Western Shirt - Indigo
-
@wdw:
I blasted my 62-ind at 90deg once and got some acceptable shrinkage, mostly on the sleeves. Having said that, I probably wouldn't recommend it unless you have room to spare and the material is as tough as the 62 is.
Agreed - I'd say that if you need some shrinkage and you're at a point where you're thinking "If only the sleeve, front or back length were just a little bit shorter then the fit would be perfect", go for a first wash at 90 degrees celsius.
If you, like in my case, need a noticeable amount of shrinkage in the said areas, I'd recommend carefully washing twice at 90 degrees celsius. Of course it's only a personal experience, opinion or anecdote at this point.
Theoretical knowledge and hypotheses are helpful to begin with to lead in a direction. By sharing empirical data (our experiences) however, we can at least approach having more knowledge about how the fabric reacts under different circumstances in practice.
What I say should be taken with a grain of salt. Not everybody cares as much as I do and go with the "wabi sabi" way and I'm aware of that. Also being a short guy makes me more pedantic I guess. Whether it is something helpful shared with everybody on the forums or just some words on page XYZ is a different story.

I suddenly have a very strange expression on my face.

It’s a great shirt and it looks great on you. Congrats!

It's an iconic piece. I also admired from afar before finally making the rewarding plunge. Enjoy!

This shirt was one of my recent purchases. Gave it a hot soak before wearing just to see what would come of it and shrinkage was negligible (0.5cm in all dimensions). The back has curled quite a bit—which I've embraced—to my coworker's annoyance haha! I'll try a post some pictures soon.

Received two separate compliments on my "sick jacket" Sunday and both gentlemen wanted to know the brand. I'd expect perhaps a sale or two in Denver soon
Perhaps my favorite non-UHF IH shirt. Between the heft of the fabric and the snaps, it's such a great layering piece for those of us in highly variable climates.
A black fugitive garment dyed variant of the indigo and an indigo dipped variant of the white ones might be interesting special editions.

^This shirt is def a win. An OD wabash would be killer

Love the second shirt from IH. Fit like tailored and amazing quality.Size S looks just perfect for smaller guy like me.
-
Yeah that shirt looks like it was made for you. Congrats on the score! The IHSH-62’s are killer shirts.
-
@xtcclassic. Thank you for your kind words. I do envy all the IH clothing lines you have. Slowly but I will get into it. I wish I could wear my IH shirts and jeans all year round in LA.

Well, I just fell victim to the IH sale (again). The measurements on one of the size S looked too good to pass up, it has the potential to be my best-fitting IH shirt. I think it’s time to admit I have a problem lol. On a positive note, this completes the wabash trifecta for me.

And that is a point of pride. Well done. This 62-IND is probably my best fitting shirt. Wicked taper on it. I wish my 62-WHI had the same fit. I should probably just go ahead and get the BLK too…
