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

[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!

I don’t measure my stuff, I go by feel and look. Newly purchased:

The upper arms bothered me the most, quite billowy.

1 wash 30 °C 600 rpm:

Better but not quite there. Another wash, 40 °C 800 rpm:

Happy now

Heretic!

More seriously, it looks great now.

@ARNC I play by my own rules . And thank you

@Tago-Mago how did you find the wabash reacted to/shrunk with the 40degrees sir? Looking to do something similar - ideally would be reducing length without too much impact on chest. Or does it feel like a gentle reduction across the board?

@Mister_Brue thanks for the info!

[Tago Mago]

@long_john86 this is entirely subjective and in no way based on hard facts. I'd say I got some shrinkage across the board, most noticeably in the upper arms and in the length, both overall and a little in the sleeves. The length will sort itself out because the hem will roll up anyway, in my case particularly so in the back, which I don't mind

[long_john86]

@Tago-Mago Roger that, I’m going in. Will report back. Cheers!

[Tago Mago]

@long_john86 go for it. Be aware though that the sizing on this release runs fairly big, as @weftyarn also discovered, so if you get the opportunity to try one on first, that would be ideal

[long_john86]

@Tago-Mago Yeah mine is from this release too, so hopefully should work out

@weftyarn I don’t understand how so many of the western cut shirts have different measurements, whether it is the length, some coming up slimmer than others etc? Don’t they all use the same pattern so they should be cut to the same measurements? Ima not sure why IH has this issue

Lots of people have this issue, we are just honest about it.

[weftyarn]

Yup, that’s it. I’ve never in my life had so few returns (only 1 out of 30 pieces or so!!!) on online orders. With the measurement charts + the crews support to remeasure a single piece, the chance of ordering wrong is almost zeroed.

and in the 1 case it went wrong for me (it was this run of the Wabash) it went wrong for exactly one reason: I did not closely look at the charts and ordered „blind“.

I can understand the frustration though that every once in a while there’s a piece that just doesn’t work when in theory the cut should work. But see it positively: The deviations sometimes work to your advantage making a fit possible that otherwise would be a no no
