Great. Just missed an XXL I needed. Will this ever restock again or am I out of luck?
-
@BrianA I suspect you're out of luck, unless there are any returns

Sorry Brian. That's it unless as @LewisStonehouse mentions, we get a return.
Did you sign up for notifications?

I urge you to do so, that way if we do get a return, you will get an automatic restock notification. Of course, if more than one customer signs up for notification on a particular size and we only get one of that size returned, the one with the slowest fingers will lose out.
No reruns planned, and if we do, it'll likely be a few years away

I am going to say something sacrilegious here :-[.
I have always been a western guy and copped the western.
But IMHO, this colourway goes better
in a workshirt than a western. -
@Omega:
But IMHO, this colourway goes better

By the same token, I love the colour and pattern of the upcoming yellow and black crazy check, but the IHSH-303-YEL western version works best by far for me.
I’m not refined enough in my sensibilities to know why, it’s more of a gut reaction.

Whoa. I got some sort of lucky. The XXL released from someone's cart and became available and at that very moment I snatched it up! So lucky.
Had to get this color because my 2-yr. old daughter is fairly obsessed with anything purple. On some mornings she demands a purple smoothie in a purple cup with a purple straw… and that's only the beginning. She's always looking for the purple crayons and markers. Her new toddler-sized car seat had to be the color... you guessed it...
It all started a few weeks back when I took her to grandma's for her 1x per week babysitting visit. For whatever reason, grandma turned everything into "purple day" with both her and grandpa wearing purple clothes and all food getting served on purple plates and drinks in purple cups and she got some sort of purple-colored toy. There's been no going back from that.
Anyway, I really wasn't planning on buying anymore clothes this year and my 2 UHFs are more than sufficient to meet my needs however, when I saw this purple-colored UHF I could not get it out of my head.

I completely agree.
The only two UHF I am buying this year are this 299 work shirt and the 303 Western, best of the bunch in my opinion.

Got mine today, lovely material and looks amazing!
Wondering if it's too baggy on me for a size large, and I am assuming it will shrink in the wash. It was hard to size as I am tall and lanky. opinions?

It will shrink if you wash it hot or tumble dry it. Cold washing/air drying won’t do much. If you do go for shrinkage then be careful with the arm length.
I think it looks good although the western cut may be a better fit for your body shape.

Thank you for the feedback.
This is my first work shirt and I really liked the look of it over the western for this color way.
I’m assuming if I decided to wash it (to shrink out the torso part a bit), I would have to deal with the sleeve shrinkage as I’m not sure there’s a way to hot dry it without involving the entire garment?

You’ll get shrinkage just from a hot wash. Not need to machine dry. By the look of things you have long-ish arms but you could afford to lose half an inch or so.
I’d recommend just a hot wash and air dry first.
-
I will do just that, thank you very much for the insight!

I agree with @neph93 that a wash will probably give the shirt a little more defined a fit, which sounds like what you're after. I would also agree that the work cut is more responsible for the more relaxed fit than the actual size. I have two work shirts but a lot of Westerns, since I'm a small guy (5'6") and the work doesn't fit my frame as good. You e got yourself a great shirt, though, I'm sure I'll be kicking myself for not grabbing one
-
@orion213 Neph always gives the best advice. I tend to agree with him about the western cut for you but understand liking the work shirt.
My humble 2 cents are the shoulders look a bit wide & I don't think you'll be able to get much shrink there. You could probably size down IMHO. -
Received this shirt just yesterday. Wow, it is just magnificent. A fitting successor to my beloved IHSH-191.
-
@orion213 It looks pretty good on length, but I would size down if it were me because it looks like there’s quite a bit of spare fabric, and has others said the western cut might suit you build a little better (but completely get what you mean about how the pattern looks with the workshirt).

I think if I weigh the shipping it back (extrs work + $) bit against the possibility of getting a size medium that could shrink too small after a wash, (as Graham told me) it may be better to just hot wash this one, reap the benefit of whatever shrinkage comes out of that, and if anything, use this shirt for layering (if need be) as it's not terribly over-sized.

Thank you for the opinion and recommendation! I think with the next one I purchase I will keep that in mind, and in any case, I will hope I get the chance to get the 303-YEL Western and that will definitely be more of a fitted look.
I will wash it today and see how it goes.
