IHSH-197-LIN - 6.5oz Linen "Denim" Sawtooth Western Shirt - Light Indigo

[sabergirl]

Pretty sure I'm going to just rock it, in any case. The fabric is truly special, and this won't be the first western shirt that I have a weird fit on due to my….assets.

[sabergirl]

Btw, any advice on care of the linen from the IH crew? Washing instructions, etc?

At least you have assets

How does it feel if you would open one more snap? By looking at the meas. don’t think going one up will make much of a difference.

I think going up one would just make the sleeves too long. I wouldn’t get much more waist room. Two snaps loosened is a better drape, but them my belly hangs out. Lol

Haha, sorry… and yeah with you on the length... wondering if linen can be stretched a bit when wet?

Size up @sabergirl. Perhaps up two sizes. I think you would look great and the bottom would drape better. Then roll up the sleeves. These sleeves look excellent rolled up with the black weft!

EDIT Looking at the measurements again it looks like you said: One size up may not be enough, but 2 sizes up is too much probably. The difference between the L and XL is an inch and a half in the waist!

Great shirt. I just received mine and tried it on. My usual size XXXL fits good. I dont have any of my dirty mirror pics yet though.

I see the opening/rear shelf thing, but it doesn’t look bad at all. I think the rest of it looks brilliant, including the shoulders. I say keep.

I think the fit looks good, however, if you're experiencing tightness do you think sizing up and then hot washing would do the trick? I have no idea how linen reacts in the wash so there's the possibility you'd get a small amount of shrink with a cold wash. But, sizing up would likely mean longer sleeves and body length than you want. Tough call for sure.

On a related note, I've always wanted a linen western but i'm not a sawtooth guy. I'd be interested in a lightweight standard western or maybe a linen version of the ihsh-13

The whole hot washing thing dosnt always produce a good fit because on westerns the double layered shoulders don’t always shrink as you wish.

I say before you send it back, give it a hot steam iron and see if the fabric gives a little. You’d be surprised how much some shirts “grow” with heat and steam, essentially since most IH shirts are one washed.

Thanks for your input, everyone. I’m not sending it back. I’ve decided to keep it. Even if the fit isn’t perfect, it’s exactly the fabric I want for the hot weather. I usually slim down in the summer, so the fit will hopefully be better in a few weeks.

Here's a fit pic with my hickory striped cargo pants IH-708.

Damn dude, for some reason your pic makes me want this shirt @daltmeyer.  I never thought I would wear a sawtooth shirt but it looks great on you

[manufc10]

Well, my decision was just made easy by the fact that XL's are sold out.

Any vendors pick this one up @Alex?

[hairydangler]

Thanks manufc10. I too was unsure about the sawtooth shirts. Now I own two of them. The other is the one with grey denim. Can't remember the number right now. Oh it's the 183. Both are incredible.

If someone pimps to white snaps, will you guys upload some pics please   wondering if it would look spectacular or wash it out too much.
