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

@mugsie I think that looks great! Shoulders and sleeves are pretty spot on!!
If you only soak, you probably won't get too much shrink. Washing it and the agitation of the washing machine will result in a bit more shrinkage. I bet you'll be happy after the soak. Mine was a bit baggy and long on me so I went for a double blaster!!

@Mismazzle
Thank you I need that reinforcement. I posted in the FB group and someone also said it was fine. I think when a hem goes at the end of my crotch instead of middle or above I start to overthink if it looks like a dress. I’m 5’6” so sizing can be fun.

@mugsie I see what you mean on the hem. Might be a tad long. I find the rise of my jeans has a lot to do with how a shirt will lay. A higher rise results is a longer shirt looking longer and a shorter shirt looking better and vice versa…low rise make a longer shirt seem not as long.
Post soak post some pics. You'll get the best advice here you could ever want!!

Yup I wear 888s for the most part. Right now I have PBJ EX-003 Straight cut with a slightly lower rise than the 888.

Great fit. Gonna go and try on my 888 when I’m home with this on. Never even thought to take into consideration the rise when regarding shirt length. Tumbled dry hot in dryer and got a quarter inch shrink in length. I think it fits great. Shoulders and chest is always my most concern and everything else generally falls into place after.

The arms, chest, and shoulders are dialed. Not a bad backup plan having it shortened at a tailor if you’re wanting a bit less length. I’ve def had some arms shortened on jackets and it made a world of difference.
Each time you hot wash it you get a touch more shrink the first couple times. Might not want the arms any shorter though.

Great thing about this gear is that it will last you a long ass time. So if you tweak a little thing with a tailor, you essentially have a custom fit that looks exactly how you want it.
I had a tailor tell me years ago that she wouldn't touch my Iron Heart shirts because she'd never be able to put it back together as well as it was originally made. I respected that a great deal because not only did I know my shirts are really well made, but also this tailor knew that and didn't want to return the shirt to me with its integrity being compromised.

This shirt rocks. Shirt is falling into place. Thought it would be more rigid but it is so comfortable.

I totally agree with you on the structural integrity aspect @seawolf I had an Oni 20oz secret denim jacket’s sleeves shortened. The tailor was blown away by the thickness and build. Ultimately I can tell that the construction of the work she did isn’t as good, it did Allow me to enjoy the jacket more. If those sleeve cuffs fall off one day I’d be pretty amazed.
