IHSH-235-OLV - 13oz Military Serge Western Shirt - Olive
-
After all it's olive, not green

As an IH newbie I wanted to post my experience with sizing this shirt. The slightly larger dimensions resulted in my going down to an L from XL. I got an L with the biggest chest measurement that matched another XL western which fit perfectly. The shoulders were just a touch smaller. Despite the chest fitting fine in the L, the arm holes were just too high and the sleeve around my forearms were tight to the point that I could not fully flex my arms. Hope this helps others when debating sizing down. For me it was better to get a smaller XL.

Thanks for sharing. This is my issue too. I went for the L from the last run, but I’m actually a small XL. Sometimes it works out, but it is often what happens between the known measurements that cause a problem.
In this case, my L is borderline too small, and the arms/armholes were somewhat restrictive at first. I’ve stuck with it though and it is working for me as a snugger option.

My first IH shirt purchase was a Large that seemed like it would fit, based on measurements. Sadly, I had the same problem with circulation restricting sleeves. I've since learned that it's better for me to err toward too big, rather than too small.

This was a difficult and somewhat expensive lesson for me to learn.

I just wish I actually learned that lesson- as evidenced by my recent sales thread featuring two pairs of pants I never managed to put on.

Just received mine a week ago. Those copper snaps really add a lot to this already awesome shirt. Btw, for anyone who's feeling a little bit snug, I "powered through" the initial few days and now the chest area feels great.
Looks lovely. And agreed. It definitely relaxes. I can share that it also tolerates a regular 30C wash without shrinking
