IHSH-234-CAM - Kersey Western Shirt - Camel
-
First IH purchase of mine. I actually signed up for the forum just for this shirt.
I'm not quite sure on the fit, though. Any thoughts? I have a 41 inch chest; wish I had a bit more in the p2p.

Welcome @Jbailla2
The chest area seems to be a little snug. I can't comment for sure on it but I've heard that the fabric is somewhat stretchy. Therefore the fabric might loosen up and feel a bit more comfortable overtime (?). Everything besides the chest area looks spot on to me though.
If you size up, you'll have a better chest width but you'll also have to compromise the perfect sleeve length due to the increase of shoulder width and sleeve length. That might not be a problem though since the buttons usually make the cuffs much tighter not allowing for the fabric to go over your hands. You'll just have a slight bunching up in the arms.

Looks uncomfortable to me but I used to wear my shirts on the snug side and now prefer them slightly large.
Can you buy the next size up and return the one that doesnt work?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

To my eyes, it looks a little trim over the chest and shoulders and borderline short in length too. The material may loosen up a bit and you could wear it with nothing under (or just an a-shirt) and it may work out.

Definitely too small. My chest is about 39-40” and I would’ve gone xl in this shirt.

Sleeves and length look great.
Chest also looks good. There is no pulling around the snaps.
Looks a bit tight in the shoulders.
I definitely don’t think it’s too small. You don’t look at all like a sausage.
The two tests I do to determine if a shirt is too small are to touch my toes and cross my arms across my chest and touch the opposite shoulder. If I can manage both of these comfortably then it’s not too small.
-
Thanks for all the feedback.
@DrPat, I can touch my toes and across the shoulder without issue.
Verdict is still out…may be looking for another home for this and giving it a second shot in either XL or the brown serge shirt.

X-post of my XL. I totally dig it. It’s thick and heavy but very smooth and comfy. This is another perfect example of IH doing what IH does best.

Received mine today. As usual, even better in person. Fit pics to come. May have received the Mustard UHF today too ::)

Maybe your best fitting shirt yet Mr. @Wlemon
@BloodnThunder looking forward to the fit pics on both… -
Thanks, @neph93. It's got an amazing "vintage" feel to it.

I would have "pimped" that aspect of it

Camel in the wild.

Thanks! I'm really happy with it. The color is phenomenal.
-
I really wish I had pimped the collar button now.
