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

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
-
My guess is that the wabash is one of the few shirt materials that is not pre-washed to remove shrinkage. Perhaps to maintain the beautiful contrast of the bleached dots? If my theory is correct, the shirt should be slightly larger than western shirts that are one-washed at Iron Heart. I finally washed my IHSH-62-IND for the first time and went for the warm 40C wash to tighten up the chest and arms. It came out perfectly. The shirt shrank about 1/4" in body length and roughly 1/8" on the sleeves and chest. I compared it to my IHSH-218-BLK (Johnny Cash III) with a tape measure and they are almost identical now with the sleeves of the wabash being about 1/8" longer than the Johnny Cash.
-
Did anyone size down one from their normal IH shirt size? Wondering if that would work here vs going with normal IH size and trying to shrink down, especially in the length. I like all M measurements better than my normal L except for shoulders which seem little narrow.
-
I got my normal size which was a little big to beginn with and shrank to about the same fit as most other items after first mashine wash (20 degrees Spin at 400)
Would personally not size down
-
@natefreezy I’m XL or XXL in most shirts. IIRC this run came up a little bigger. This is what I did:
-
@natefreezy I always go with my normal Iron Heart size that is XL.
-
@Mizmazzle man I forgot you had copper snaps on that thing…looks so good! Need one of these down the road
-
I need to upgrade my snaps, might keep me away from the cpo.
-
@Mizmazzle looking awesome!! Sized mine wrong so I sold it but might get the cpo version of this fabric
-
@FlavourFade the CPO would be killer for sure! I’m just opening my eyes to the CPO…409 was my first…for sure won’t be my last.
