IHSH-62-IND - 12oz Wabash Western Shirt - Indigo

[Djchopchop]

Have never owned an iron heart western cut shirt and am trying to determine proper sizing. I think I’m either small or medium, but wanted to ask here before making a decision. I’m 5’9”/150lbs. I feel like a small would work, however the shoulder measurement for a small appears narrower than what most of my shirts measure to. Any guidance would be much appreciated, thanks!

Trust the measurements! Your height and weight have very little bearing on how a shirt will fit. If the small has narrower shoulders than a shirt that fits you, then you’ll be better suited to a medium. Wabash is pretty heavy material for a shirt, so a little room is better than tight, especially in the shoulder and chest.

It bears mentioning that you should make sure to take your measurements the Iron Heart way! Shoulder is from the middle of the collar at the back to the top center of the sleeve, doubled. There’s a video.

@Djchopchop as @sabergirl says, make sure you measure how we do:

Rocking this beauty. No significant fades to show yet but already one of my go tos.

@weftyarn the best in my humble opinion.

@Mizmazzle agree

[weftyarn]

At the moment still second to my Hickory, but can imagine that changing with some more wear.
@Perpetual_beta awesome fades!

@weftyarn it's a great shirt. When faded it's eben more amazing

[FlavourFade]

Starting to fade already after 20 wears, had to wash once

[weftyarn]

@FlavourFade Looks awesome! Mine is hanging in the sun right now after a first soak

I have the IHSH-293-OD in XXXL. Comparing sizing charts, it seems like I should buy the 12oz Wabash Western in XXL for a similar fit. Does that make sense? Is the IHSH-293-OD a tighter fit because of the overdying?

Thanks!

@denimdad Each run will vary in sizing due to the construction of the garment and the person's that are making them.

[denimdad]

@goosehd Ah got it. Thank you

[FlavourFade]

@denimdad I feel like the wabash is the roomiest between my other western shirts, btw I wear a XXXL in the 293od and a XXL in the 62. And its still roomier

[denimdad]

@FlavourFade good to know! Do you ever wish you went down to XL given how roomy it is? Sounds like you and me are similarly sized.

@denimdad as always don’t get distracted by the tag size. Check the measurements, compare them to a shirt of yours that fits you well, and go from there. If you have questions, feel free to ask on here or the guys at IHUK

[FlavourFade]

@denimdad I have thought about it but think giving it a hot wash one day would be better. I would need a XL.5 maybe

[weftyarn]

This run of 62 really runs big. Went XL instead of XXL for the first time and still have plenty room to layer etc.

The 293 OD XL I just got fits over a tee but is way tighter than the 62, especially in the arms.

At the end of the day measurements are still your best consultant though!
