IHSH-07-IND - 12oz Hickory Stripe Western Shirt - Indigo
-
I popped into IHUK yesterday to get some other items. I couldn't resist looking at this shirt. It is a marvel in person. The fabric, red stitching on the pocket and orange stitching inside is so cool. I couldn't resist not purchasing it.

@mudhogen @Niney : I guess new forumers/IH discoverers always end up seeing this thread, reading it, and buying this damn shirt !
Bad weather + bored + reading forum =
Will be my first western shirt, which have always been slightly less appealing to me than work ones, probably because I'm less used to them because I'm from Europe. A little worried about the length style wise, but I've been pleasantly surprised by the 3 shirts I have bought from IH until now, so I'll trust the grand architect
-
@Slash hey, yes it does appear to be a gateway shirt ha! I really like the fit and details of western shirts. Enjoy it fella! Europe could always do with more western shirts!
-
It arrived
I think the sizing is top notch ! Thx here also to @JoshC for having measured the remaining shirts in my size to find me a perfect match
Always some issues for me with sleeves length, but here they fit perfectly imo, and the slightly shorter length versus the charts is really to my liking . Now I really need to wash this one carefully as there isn't really room for any shrinking.
-
@Slash looks great on you! With going through many shirts at IHUK, they found the shortest sleeve length. This is the only shirt I have without sleeve length concerns. I do however find the collar rather large and overlaps at the front which causes a crease issue. Overall I love it! Shame the great orange stitching is hidden.
-
@Niney Thanks man
Btw for me the concerns about sleeves is more that they are often too short
I swear I have some chimpanzee gene left in me
I like the collar "beefy" like this, but I get what you say... for me it's when I try to put a jacket with this shirt; there is some weird collar competition going on
-
@Slash haha yes, well we should morph our arms and we would be golden! Luckily most IH shirts have odd variances in sizing and I can try on at IHUK and hopefully find the shortest sleeve one. Although when we are 26.5 and up to 27 inch, I have no hope and must roll up which luckily western snaps help with doing so.

What a great shirt!

@gpag I really can’t see it shrinking as it’s one washed - “Post construction, we wash the completed garment in an aggressive industrial washing machine. This process removes virtually all potential shrinkage.
- No further shrinkage is expected when washed according to our care guidelines”
-
@goosehd I saw that. The part it seems implies there might be some shrink if I don’t follow the guidelines and throw it in the dryer on high heat
