Hey guys. This one just found its way into my possession somehow. Today I went into Dutil Denim to try on a shirt from an other brand (it was a Freenote Utility shirt in Charcoal) and grabbed this one off the rack just to see how it looked. Out of all the shirts I had on including that Utility shirt, I just kept coming back to this wabash. The funny thing is it’s a medium and I was almost sure I was a Large in Ironheart. That said, it fits almost as if were tailored for me. Maybe I need to rethink my ih size? More interestingly, the look just seemed to keep improving somehow. I didn’t want wabash. It wasn’t even remotely on my radar & I don’t like stripes! But the wabash called to me using some form of Japanese Ai. Idk.. WABASH!! Okay, fine I left with the bloody wabash and now I’m here writing this post saying “wabash”to myself in an almost brain—rot sort of mantra.
So a couple of interesting things:
-
CPO is an amazing form factor. I absolutely love that there’s pockets for my hands. When said pockets aren’t being used they eff off in a disappearing chameleon sort of way. This is so cool!
-
the buttons or snaps are next level. I have an ish 33OD with the regular snaps and these are just so much nicer!!
-
the indigo already rubbed off on my white undershirt at one of the armpits. Hopefully I can get it out in the wash.
I also tried out a non modified type 3 in the 21oz. Nice jacket but I really have come accustomed to pockets. This was in Large and fit me perfect. IDK, maybe the wabash is a largish medium? Just measured and here’s what I got:
18.2” shoulders
21.4 chest
25 sleeve
29 length
In any case I will leave you with WABASH!

Sizing on this stuff is a bit of a battle for me. That Freenote shirt was awesome but I fell in-between a small and medium unfortunately. The small fit almost perfect but the arms were just a bit too short. So if they shrunk even a centimetre in the wash, I’d be out of luck.
I’m really happy with how the wabash fits though. It’s not something I would have ever picked / ordered for myself online but I know I made a good decision.
Mainly because I keep thinking about it and checking it out in my closet. Lol. Very serendipitous!

all I see is awesome mintiness

Sized up and 50 degree wash out of the bag has landed me where I needed to be. Shown here with waffle knit henley underneath and paired with 634S-SBG.
I will be turning my 62 into a short sleeved shirt for those warmer months, as wasn’t too keen on the arms in the latest batch, and want some Summer wabash representation!

@long_john86 nailed it!

Okay.
WHABASH Day continues. Had no idea Iron Heart pays people to complement their shirts over here in Canada.
Seriously though, no one has ever asked me what brand my clothes are before today let alone gone out of their way to pay a compliment. This random dude just did this.
Said he loved my shirt. WABASH!
Also, Shake Shack was pretty good!
Whabash!!

@Matt - just picked up 227 today, either my eyesight or maybe the pic color but yours looks black Matt? Either way looks cool

@Johnnyutah247 I was looking at these two as well and ended up going 227. You really don’t notice the pockets if you’re not using them. I didn’t expect the fabric to be as soft as it is either. I was more concerned w the length but the guys were able to pull one that measured the same length as the shirt.
