@nameness:

That's a medium, but it's also about 20lbs ago.  I'll try it on tonight and see where we stand.

That's some serious weight loss. I hope it was healthy.

[nameness]

Tried this back on.  There's a bit more room in the chest (expected) but the overall length plus sleeve length are perfect.  I could probably fit into a small but there wouldn't be much breathing room.  In short, stick with your normal size and just expect it to be roomier than the westerns.

Forgot how soft an comfy this thing is…

This is starting to grow on me

I really like mine

[madmonday]

some are still hanging around Self Edge B.

I'm trying to decide what color buttons I'm going to do on mine.

dark blue or a black . . . .

Barun SENY has xxl in stock it fits like a standard xxxl

[nameness]

@monday:

black . . . .

[madmonday]

ok so that means i should go with NAVY

haHaHAhaHahahHa, huh

will look tonight again & see if I can source some buttons worthy of this beauty.  For some reason i thought the buttons were too small for such a beefy shirt.

hope this doesn't turn into an epic fail. .  .

think i'm going to make this shirt my project to see how it would look with different buttons or something. . . .

Sounds like a good idea. What color and type were you thinking?

[madmonday]

going with some blackish buttons.

will put up a picture of them when i get a moment.

i tried to sew on one & it was abit of a challenge to say the least

think i need a thimble or some more calloused finger tips 

[madmonday]

so here is how she turned out:

will do a close-up of the buttons when i get a moment.  they go with the shirt perfectly.  shout to nameness for saying black buttons instead of blue

[barun]

that's a much bigger difference than I expected

[madmonday]

here are as close as i'm going to get:

[Seul]

Perfect. And good call, nameness: black > blue on this shirt!..

[madmonday]

i had these really cool cloth covered antique type buttons, i think i might put one or two on my ihsh 21.  when i get more time.

[Tomas]

well done, think i will follow suit..

[madmonday]

what up tomas.

glad i get a thumbs up on this project.  i'm happy with the way it turned out.  i won't talk shit about folks sewing anymore, this fabric was insane to try & sew the buttons on.

[derivative666]

This is one of my favorite IH shirts  not sure why it doesn't get the love it deserves.

[Tomas]

@madmonday where did you get the buttons at? and did you have to use a leather needle? lol

[madmonday]

the buttons were sourced from an old cranky tailor that i love & she takes care of me.

i used a big a$$ needle that she gave me with the buttons . . . it was big fun
