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

[xtcclassic]

This purchase was a somewhat irresponsible yet wise decision.

It would have been irresponsible not to purchase that shirt considering how good it looks on you

Lookin' sharp, sir!  Such a great shirt. From the moment I saw it on IH Japan's IG, I knew I had to have it!

[xtcclassic]

Thanks for the compliment and the great deal! I love this shirt even more than I thought I would, couldn’t ask for a better fit.

[Jett129]

Really looks great on you,wish mine had that snap upgrade. I’d probably wear it more often.

[xtcclassic]

@Jett129 you should wear it, it looks great on you! I’m sure you could always ship it back to get the upgrade but I wouldn’t let it stop you from wearing such a killer shirt.

[Jett129]

You’re absolutely right,I just don’t tend to reach for it when I probably should. If I ever know I’m going to be in Gosport again I’d definitely bring the shirt with me for the upgrade.

Picked this up on the sale. Think it's a keeper!

[Paul9221]

Such a great shirt!

[Wlemon]

Does it fade at all?

@Wlemon:

Does it fade at all?

I have to admit that I haven't worn it enough to tell you. Maybe Reuben can chime in.

Reactive dyed dark blue dots which will not fade

I have updated the product desc…..

[neph93]

Like G says, it does not. To fade it’ll the spots would need to be indigo or another pigment dye, and I’d imagine making neat rows of very small dots with indigo would be nigh on impossible.

It does soften and wear in beautifully however. Brilliant shirt. Congrats @Wlemon nice to see your face on here. Been a while.

[xtcclassic]

Congrats on the score, @Wlemon it looks great on you.

Boom! monster of a shirt @Wlemon 

[Wlemon]

Thanks for all the info, guys. I was almost thinking about upgrading, too, but with the turquoise snaps. If I remember correctly, though, those cannot be applied to this shirt.

[Wlemon]

@Wlemon nice to see your face on here. Been a while.

Thanks, @neph93. End of last year kicked my butt!! @Graham helped me get a lot of cool new things during the sale so you may see my face too much now.

Any experience of this shirt's shrinkage after several washes? Is this material 100% cotton and softer?

I have this and I have hot washed it (90C). As was as many other washes at a normal temp. 30C-40C produced no shrinkage. However at 90C there was decent shrinkage.The shirt shrank approxiamately half a size, around 1-1.5cm in all direction, possibly 2cm in length.

Regardless of colour, IH wabash is the same material essentially. As the product page says it will shrink with repeated or hot washing, and that is what happened. I’ve hot washed so much IH wabash now, I don’t bother documenting anymore. I know what will happen.

It is 100% cotton, but softer than what? Soft would not be the first adjective I associate with it, but everything is relative. It is a tightly woven 12oz fabric designed as workwear, by a company famous for over-engineered clothing worn by Japanese bikers. There are definitely softer shirts out there than this one.

Thanks @neph93

I'm thinking of adding few more IH shirts to my wardrobe and I was considering this one and the Kanreki, but was quite unsure which one to go for. I have to choose between this and the Kanreki. Whichever shrinks the least is going to be my preference. Thanks for your reply!
