IHSH-414-WHT - 9oz Cotton Linen Work Shirt - Off White

Looks fantastic
fit is spot on. Looking forward to mine. I had to size up due to missing out on the XXXL, may have to hot wash it and dry it a couple times or maybe not we will see… -
@DeeDee85 yes, it arrived direct from Gosport this evening but pics will have to wait till I’m home at the weekend - I’ve got no suitable bottoms with me.
In terms of fit, there’s more excess fabric in the lower body than some of my work shirts (true to the published measurements) but it doesn’t show like it would with a heavier shirt as the fabric is really soft and drapes nicely. No problem with arm length (@JamesB managed to find me an extra half inch, which definitely helps, but it would probably have been tolerable without).
Completely agree with everyone else about the level of interest in the fabric and the red stitching.
Overall it’s fair to say I’m really happy.
Edit: just noticed it has the internal print which I love in this tonal iteration! Apologies for the poor lighting.

@ARNC colour me intrigued, looking forward to seeing a few pics. I’ll let you know how I get on if I can make it into rivet & hide next week.
In regards to sleeve length, the only non-IH shirts I have are an orslow fatigue, a flat head dobby and a buzz ricksons chambray. The orslow is fine but I’m contemplating chopping the flat head and buzz ricksons in to get the new IH dobby western while it’s still available. They all look fine on, just feel so strange to wear after getting used to constantly wearing IH. The extra inch/inch and half in sleeve length is something I never knew I needed and now can’t live without. It’s ruined every other brand of shirt for me

@MTpockets no chucks here, but I do have a pair of Shoes Like Pottery in off-white

Also want to weigh in ans say that the sleeve length is not an issue as potentially expected given the measurement. can't exactly say why but it's one of the best fitting shirts I own from IH.

@Graham said in [IHSH-414-WHT - 9oz Cotton Linen Work Shirt
I would say so for sure. The shoulders are quite wide on these as you can see where the shoulder seam sits on my XL and as the sleeve measurement is measured from that seam - that's how it can look short on paper but not once on.
@tvaillant75 see above. We have this phenomenon occasionally - last i remember it was on the IH-101J-SR where everyone was freaking out about the sleeve length, but when you combine the sleeve and the shoulder from centre neck, it was plenty long..

@Tago-Mago my answer was zero….

You suck at this @Alex. But appreciate you trying.
@will6er the irony is those are the two sizes that I typically take on with IH tops. But I am do for a diet..
My local shop isn't stocking this one, which I thought would help, but it's only making me want to it more especially after seeing it with the GAH button bling. Let me lose a bit more sleep on this

Well, I believe that was a blessing in disguise not being able to get a XXXL.
Sp-large with a hot soak just on the arms(and machine dry) will probably shrink it up perfectly. The wife thinks I’m clinically insane as I systematically shrink to fit shirts, but it’s tough when you’re just barely 6’ and you wear the large sizes. Will also probably do a cold soak and line dry to tighten everything up….
That being said the shirt is ridiculous, love the blend. actually a little lighter weight than expected. I think I’ll be able to wear this throughout the summer in Atlanta.

Welp this one will not do for me
this would have been my first IH shirt.Really like the fabric and color, but no magic for me here for arm length like for others in this thread.
I guess my arms are really monkey-ish because I miss 2 cm at least in arm length, probably more to allow even a T-shirt underneath.All other measurements are top notch, and going up one size would be way too large in P2P, waist and opening.
There are 2 other shirts I'm looking forward to, hope one will do at least
