IHSH-62-IND - 12oz Wabash Western Shirt - Indigo

I think it depends on you. You have your own style and look, and I think that shirt works with it, possibly better than the XXL would?
The length is great imho, and while I can see it stretches a little over the belly, the rest looks good too.
So the question is one of preference. Is it uncomfortable to wear? Do you find yourself not reaching for it because of that? Because if you enjoy it as it is, I say carry on.

I was also worried an XXL might be too large everywhere else besides the belly. I also have some fades forming in the elbow creases that I am already pleased with, which makes me want to keep what I have.
I would not say it is uncomfortable to wear, except after a large dinner and several drinks on the couch. But I feel like most people share the same feeling, like how some people comically unbutton their pants after overeating.
I actually find myself reaching for it more often than my other IHSHs with hopes of a continued break in process.

I say it looks great. I actually wish mine was a little shorter on my torso like yours. I'd say simply unbutton the bottom button when you feel like its stretching in the gut a bit. the XXL will not look near as clean as the XL does on you.

@Jett129 wise words I was seeking to hear
@jordanscollected OK cool I think I am understanding how these shirts should fit a bit better now. I went and put it on an hour ago and it does feel like it works. Thanks for sharing your opinion.

Another piece of advice that you might enjoy is more Bourbon and less beer. Sipping a bourbon instead of knocking back 2-3 beers will put less inches on the proverbial beer belly. I think I know that you’re a fan as well.
I drink all drinks at the same speed, spirits are therefore very dangerous….

I do love a good bourbon. I should go out and get a bottle next time. Woodford Reserve.

haha this right here though…

Don’t want to get too off topic here,but @Giles On the occasions that I have seen you drink,it’s been beer or wine and you always seem to be imbibing at a sensible pace. Don’t have the impression that you chug or guzzle your drinks. Just out of curiosity are there any spirits that you’re especially fond of? @Oaktavia Been enjoying the Woodford Double Oaked lately.
-
@Oaktavia - this is my humble 2 cents as well.
I'm in a similar situation as you, waist-wise, and I'd size up and then give the XXL a warm-ish wash. I think you could also do with a little extra length there.
and since we veered O/T to Bourbon; Eagle Rare FTW

I'm back and forth at this point

@Oaktavia
Mine gets me on the backside with the love handles
But honestly this is probably one of the best fitting shirts I’ve ever put on!
-
One more thing @Oaktavia I forgot to say, I think the XL looks perfect on you, even in the belly. Isn't the whole dad bod thing still in? I forgot who said it, @jordanscollected maybe, but i've become a fan of unbuttoning my bottom button on a lot of my shirts recently. With me sitting in my car five hours most days it is way more comfortable and the shirt doesn't ride up as badly. Another reason I love my IH jackets, I can unzip from the bottom to achieve the same!
-
Looks great Brenden. And the body length, though long in most, is perfect on you. Wabash is a really nice hefty fabric.

Love handles?
Ive got love railings:)
