      @weftyarn I have both from last year's batch and that's it, the black Wabash is definitely smaller and shorter than the indigo, at least in size XS, it was good for me, the second one I got the black one, I feel definitely better on me, but in the end I love them both, one for the color and one for the size.

        @weftyarn these shirts will shrink a good amount over the first few washes. Mine was pretty baggy when I first got it. It fits much shorter in both sleeve and body now. Probably lost .75-1” in both. The chest and waist came in some too. The ballooning calmed a lot too as the fabric softens. But I don’t recall the ballooning ever being an issue I noticed much when mine was new.

        In the easy chair with my boots on, melted whiskey in my hand. Could'na been asleep for more than three hours...time to go to work again...

          Mine has arrived. I went for my typical IH size L. Very happy with the fit. Similar to other opinions shared in the recent days, the shirt is a bit bulky in the arms but I do not see it as an issue/problem. I will share more photos here or in the WAYWT thread tomorrow or the day after.

            If it helps anyone here are the measurements pre and post shrinkage. It was a bit long in the body and sleeve when it first arrived so I gave it a 40C wash in the machine (after a soak), then did the same at 60C as I wanted a touch more shrinkage. It's pretty good now.

              How does a hot wash affect the fade potential? I think a little less length and tighter sleeves would be perfect but I am afraid of losing a lot of evo in the progress

              @goldstone0 thanks for your work!

                Got mine yesterday in my usual XXL. Really happy for the pimped snaps! Did a hot soak and 60C wash and indeed some nice and significant shrinkage. Much better arm length and upper arm balloon improves! @FlavourFade I am not a contrast fade fanatic, but I don't see much marbeling even after a long hot wash! Would not be overly concerned (I personally see this as a kickstart for fading).

                  @Tobi thanks for the info! The arm ballooning was the only thing putting me off mine but I’ll give this is a go instead of returning it now

                    @DeeDee85 i’ve had the same with my 361-BLK although this is not a wabash shirt but due the dye, starch and rigidness of the fabric the arms we’re almost hulk beefiness and ballooning. It all settles and after a few wears you’re good to go. My wabash experience is also that it shrinks a bit during the first washes but in the end it’s just me 2 cents.

                      @Heavy_blue also taken on board, thank you! I’ll get a few wears in before I warm wash it then, and see if the arm balloons calm down. If not, into the wash it goes

                        @Tobi thanks buddy! I think I am gonna wear it a bit and then go for a hot soak and wash. I usualy aim for high contrasts but for the wabash I think it would look pretty cool with vintage like fades and just "worn"

                              Love this fabric on the western silhouette dearly - May I request the next batch be for more moderately / shorter height folks? Looking to wear untucked.. 🙋🏻‍♂️🙏🏻 so close to pulling the trigger but that 30 inch back length is just not suited for my height. ✌️💙

                                @Dressbasedonmood I doubt the classic western silhouette IH is known for will be altered in such a core fabric. You could have the body length shortened if you'd like but you may lose the chainstitching and the side gussets. I did that very thing on a xxl Nine Lives shirt (the body length was close to 32") and was extremely happy with the results.

                                  Unless we have really screwed up a pattern, we wont change anything drastic (like core measurement) between production runs. And in any case we would change the lot number because basically it is a different thing. So what you are asking in reality is to make new shirt an “S” version of an existing model, we are simply not large enough a company to do that I am afraid .

                                    I think the hem is lock stitched. Looks like it. I would assume the chain stitching would be able to be largely preserved if you shortened the hem.

                                    Think it, be it.

                                        Mine already shows some indigo loss at the sleeves, now I am going to wear it as much as possible while I can due to summer comming slowly....

                                            Washed it at 30°C 600 rpm, feels as if I got a little shrinkage as desired
