IHSH-62-BLK - 12oz Wabash Western Shirt - Black

@jerkules:

Does anyone feel like this shirt skirts out from the waist, or have issues with the opening? Or is the effect minimised by the weight of the fabric?

Never noticed that the opening is an issue. On the contrary the 62’s are the best fitting IH shirts I own. The cut is a little different to other westerns. They taper more at the waist as well.

Okay cool, it’s almost certainly me being overly cautious. Normally I’d just take a punt with an XL but I’m thinking about pimping so want to be confident in the measurements. Luckily there’s a few in stock so I’ll just be a nuisance and ask the guys to find the narrowest opening XL and send me the measurements. Fingers crossed it works out and I’ll pull the trigger.

If you are super-worried, buy the one that the guys think has the best measurements for you.  Try it on, and send it back for pimping…..

Say it every time, but this might be my favourite IH shirt yet!

Obligatory fit pics of my XL. Went against my usual instincts to size “fitted” and go for a Large, and I’m glad that I did. Told myself that if it ended up slightly too large then I could wear as an overshirt, but personally I am really happy with how it turned out. Sleeves are slightly long but I’m more than happy to cuff. Will wear for a little longer before deciding whether to go for a hot wash.

Thank you @Graham for all your help.

Great fit @jerkules. At the same time you could easily wash at 40C and it will tighten a little, lose some length in the body and arms and you will still be killing it.

Thanks @neph93 , your white version with copper snaps definitely urged me to pimp this shirt! I could never trust myself with a white IH shirt though

Congrats @jerkules and welcome to the copper snap gang.

Wearing mine right now, and I, too, think it is my all-time favorite IH shirt.

[Chris]

You bastard.

Edit: Don't get me wrong, I love the red, but I think the bartacks on the pockets should be orange, to match the chainstitch runoff and other internal stitching.

[Giles]

I think we are going with white - sorry…..

[Chris]

Any version is good as far as I'm concerned.

[jerkules]

Thanks @xtcclassic for the inspiration!!

My first iron heart shirt ever. And probably my favorite

Here’s some office pics:

Sweet! It is a while since I have seen one worn in. Need to make buying one a priority this year.

Same for me.
I was always wondering why there’s so many worn in indigos yet so few blacks.
Is the indigo version so much more popular or is it because the blacks are such slow faders?

Actually, I think I have never ever seen a properly faded black

Yes

Went onto the projduct page with intent only to find there has been a rush and they are all gone in my size  Classic. Sorry to be "that guy", but when is the restock due @Alex @Giles ?

[Alex]

We will be placing a reorder with Japan mid Feb, probably 3 months thereafter

Ouch. Any in chance of an XL being able to find its way over from Japan?
