      Thanks, @neph93 @IH-GARY, that is really helpful!

      I'll go for an L then.

      Cheers

        Anyone ever done something sacrilegious like cutting the sleeves of their LS shirt to make it SS? I really want a SS hickory stripe shirt :o

          I’m sure I’ve seen it on here somewhere but can’t quite remember where. I know someone made a vest out of their IH-2526j once.

          I can’t see any practical issue other than the possibility that bodies on ss shirts may generally be cut differently to bodies on ls shirts? Having a taper put in while your at it is always an option anyway.

            Typically the arms are cut a bit wider on SS shirts

              @cj You could try to measure the sleeves at the point where you would cut them and compare them to IH shortsleeved shirts. if it's a similar opening I think it will work, as I'm pretty sure the Body is similar.

              Edit: Giles was faster.

                I've done it on an IHSH-21 (blue chambray).

                    Ahhh I see. Now that you mention it, I do believe my short sleeve shirts are wider around the bicep although that feeling could be accentuated by the folding of fabric at the elbow. I'll do some measuring later to appease my curiosity… I guess I'm not that desperate, but chopping sleeves is a consideration for the future. Knowing myself, I'll probably leave it up to the universe as to whether a short sleeve hickory stripe shirt gets made haha

                    @JDelage Oh cool, what were the results? Any pictures?

                      I happened to have 2 of those, so I turned one into a short sleeve shirt.

                        What’s eBay etiquette on lost/stolen packages? Do I refund just the cost of the item or the item plus shipping? I’m gonna wait another week before filing a claim. I don’t trust USPS at all so it’s fortunate I insured the package.

                              Subjectively, I'd say Kersey

                                    Yeah, I've had issues uploading good quality pictures for a little bit.

                                    I dont know if upgrading to pro helps or not. But im not sure I like tapatalk enough to actually pay for it.[emoji2369]

                                      I don’t know if it is a pro feature, but if you upload multiple pics at the same time then TPTLK reformats them practically to thumbnails. When I upload one at a time I get a choice of sizes including actual size.

                                        I think another user already mentioned this, but I have switched away from Tapatalk when uploading photos and just use the web version of the forum on my phone.  Photos upload like normal and look clear.  Upload with an iPhone through the web has been just as easy as with Tapatalk.
