Need to take some update shots
@weftyarn said in IHSH-62-BLK - 12oz Wabash Western Shirt - Black:
Black Wabash aka Slow fading f***** showing some evo
~ 100 wears, countless washes. This is my „renovate the garden house“ shirt,
so washing is a must from time to time.
-
Fresh 62 and the silvered nipple.
-
@weftyarn looks good. how many wears do you have now?
-
I bought this wabash on eBay for a pretty good deal but I’m honestly on the fence about the fit. I’m not sure if I’m bugging or if I make sense.
This wabash was marked as 18.5” shoulders (which is only .5” smaller than my denim shirt so I thought I could swing it.)
Turns out the shoulder is actually 18”, an entire inch smaller than my denim shirt.
I’m not sure if the fit is good and I’m just not used to it because I’ve been wearing the denim shirt the last 6 months or if It actually is small and I gotta part ways.
I absolutely love this shirt but I don’t want to commit to it and it not work out in the long run.
Added a picture of the denim shirt for reference.
What do yall think?

@worn2fade looks spot on, I just said this on Instagram but how do the shoulders feel? Do they feel tight? Do you have full range of motion? Can you do windmills with your arms easily, hug yourself without it feeling restricted?
-
@worn2fade first thing I thought is what Oak said, spot on. Looks good to me man
-
@Oaktavia yeah dude I cross posted my concerns at the same time to get as much feedback as quickly as possible haha!
But yeah man the shoulders feel good and movement is not restricted. One thing I can say though is if there’s any shot these shoulders shrink, it definitely will get listed. I can’t afford any shrinkage on this shirt shoulder wise.
When it comes to hugging myself, windmills, back flips - shirt feels great. Just not used to not having extra room under like how I did with the denim so just have to get used to this.
@ZackB Thanks dude! Appreciate the feedback.
-
@worn2fade FWIW I have different fitting IH westerns. Some fit perfect, some a tad tight but wearable for sure (nothing but tshirt under) and some a bit large and used as overshirts.

-
@Twistlock Deciding to sell it, I appreciate some extra space and with this, once I put on some mass I know I’d have to get rid of it. Would hate to work on the fading process just to have to sell it.
-
@worn2fade , if it does not feel "rìght" for you that's probably the right move.
-
I just picked one of these up and love it. I think I’ll probably use it more as a light jacket. I’m surprised I didn’t try the style sooner.

@Perfect_Earth See here for an explanation of what is happening: https://forum.ironheart.co.uk/topic/9080/why-do-iron-heart-shirts-hems-roll-upwards-and-outwards?_=1760784364346
…and you can’t prevent it.
-
@goosehd ok that makes sense. It doesn’t really bother me per se and it’ll probably look better once the shirt has some fades. Do the uhf roll too?
-
@Perfect_Earth …a bit, but not to the same extent.

@hippieflipflops your best course of action is to measure your UHF as described here and compare those measurements to the size chart of this shirt. If the shoulders are bothering you focus on that particular measurement and go from there
