      Thanks! The 240 has got a lot of wear this winter, pretty sure it has only been washed 3x, It lost a fair bit of color on the first wash. I should have held off a while longer but oh well.

        Shirts need to be washed! A lot more than jeans. I reckon I get 5 days wear out of heavy shirts before they smell more than I am comfortable with. Looks ace to me.

          @BD81 , that shirt has a great patina.  And nobody wants to smell anything more than the iron and the heart.  Lookin'goodyo.

            It would be washed more but i pretty much only use it as a jacket under my vest.

              @protokultur if you are considering picking up the IHSH-96…go for it. Its a killer shirt, nice and lightweight for the spring / summer.

                Second this…..though I will add that I find it a great weight almost year round, depending on what its layered with/under.  I wore mine out in ~45 degree weather today with a thin undershirt only and I was fairly comfortable.  I've also worn it comfortably up to about 75 degrees.

                  @DigitalPopsicle I haven't worn it in warm weather yet, but it does keep me real comfortable under a UHF in -15 to - 20 C. How does it breathe in the summer with no under shirt?

                    The waffle makes it a fairly open weave feeling to me.  I haven't worn it without an undershirt, but it does breathe well.

                      Got an e-mail saying that mine should arrive today.
                      Cant wait to try this one on now that the weather is warming up.

                        Sounds like a strange question, but those of you that own this shirt, would you consider it "stretchy"?

                          Not a strange question, I would consider this shirt a bit stretchy.

                            I will let you know if it is fact "stretchy" @Wlemon
                            Im looking forward to this lighter shirt for now when its slowly warming up around here.

                              Hi @Wlemon, by caparison to my other 12oz shirts yes. By no means a technical response but if I hold the front placket and a side seam, half width, it will happily without too much stress, stretch around an inch.

                                cant wait to see what this Waffle feels like after wearing my Wabash western for the last two weeks 😉

                                  It has a reputation for being stretchy. The general advice is to size down as a result. It is a function of the waffle knit. The IHTL-1301’s and IHTL-1213’s are the same.

                                    Thats so weird because that's what I did.I went down a size. from XL down to L..it came last Friday:
                                    I opened the bag…eyeballed the shirt thinking right off the bat...doesnt look right.
                                    Tried it on and Immediately  "Noped" it right back to Gosport the same day.
                                    Tomorrow should come the XL.
                                    We will see.

                                      @neph93 that's good to know. That was the reason I asked. I wasn't sure if I should get the XL or the XXL. Knowing that I'll probably get the XL instead.

                                          I’d like to add that I don’t have one, but if you go through this thread you’ll see it discussed.

                                          It is a work shirt too so wider and shorter on average than westerns.

                                            I had one of these and sold it on because I was always fussing with the placket where it stretched across my belly and at the opening when seated. It fit fine, but made for a strange drape if sized trim the way I like my shirts. I think with a bigger size I may have been happier.
