      How’s everyone seeing the sizing to this one?  Looks like I’m falling more to an XXL in the western as opposed to my normal XL.  New to IH and trying to understand how common it is to be between sizes.

        Very common. When you say “normal XL”, what do you mean? Is that what you normally take in other brands? If so which ones?

        Comparing with other brands is not a wise move. IH uses western-ish sizing, but that is an arbitrary concept, without established standards.

        The only way forward is to measure comparable shirts you own and that fit you, using the same measure if method IH do. That should give you transferable data. Compare to the sizing charts and find the closest fit.

          Sorry should have clarified. I normally am an XL in IH from the few shirts I own but the measurements on this one like up more to me being an XXL. I was wondering if that was common for others with IH shirting. Meaning sometimes you are one size and another time another.

            @jfk1117 I can’t speak for others but for me it’s very common that I may be in different tag sizes from time to time. As @neph93 said, the best thing you can do is take measurements off the shirts that you really like the fit of then use those numbers to find the tag size that falls into those measurements best.

            Tag size is just that, the tagged size,  it kinda means something and nothing at the same time. Numbers are king. I have shirts in XL, XXL and XXXL and believe it or not they all fit pretty similar.

              ^ all of this is well observed and great advice!

              I understand now. These are pretty standard UHF measurements. UHF’s often come on a little smaller than IH westerns in other fabrics. I could still take my normal size, but many size up. This is especially wise with UHF’s as they can shrink with a warmer wash.

                  Thanks to everyone for the replies and information. Sizing up seems even more appropriate now.

                    I was in the same situation. Had a IH flannel in size XL. Looked at the sizing chart and needed and XXL for this one too. For the western shirt, definitely go one size up!

                    As if you weren't going to do that already by now :p

                      Bought an XXL that was a bit oversized on the length and sleeve. Washed it in 60° C lost approximately 1cm on sleeve and 2cm on length. Size is perfect now. I think it shrank about half a size like it says in description.

                                Finally got mine and i'm so happy. The fabric, the size, everything is perfect. I really like the western cut, it's my second UHF in 2 months, the first one was a 339-SAX and i'm really in love.

                                Already wondering what would be my next ? Eyeing on an IHSH-62 probably…  😉

                                  Looks great on you, not least over the turtleneck. The IHSH-62 is a nailed on classic and for good reason.

                                    Ordered Tuesday, received Friday. Previous IH shirts were large. This XL. Took advise and washed warm. Did shrink 1/2 size, perfect…and incredibly soft.
