IHSH-55 - Wabash Western

[Giles]

[DrPat]

In the IH-811 thread you say that a brown overdye was applied to lessen the bleeding?  Were the shirts produced any differently?

Will this shirt fade similar to the pants pictured at the bottom of the IH-811 page?  From the evenness of the fade it looks like they were washed hard (not worn for a long time) to achieve this effect.

The shirts will have been treated the same.

The photo you refer to is a hard wash experiment of Haraki's….

Noice.  Do you recommend your standard IH size for this shirt?
These are "slowly" flying off the shelves!

I'm wearing an L in this, which is my normal size, though I do sometimes go up to an XL….

They seem to run really big, I'm normally an L in just about every IH shirt, and I could do an M in these!

[madmonday]

they look to run alittle big.

i never go with "size"  always measurements.  will be going to SENY to see these (whenever i get a moment) in the next few weeks.

so curious to see the IH take on Wabash

I think heavyweight shirts are meant to run big.
Kinda like how you don't size down on 25oz-ers.

(Oh, and thanks Mr.G for the quick response.)

[Giles]

^^ That's a good point.  I am not sure if Haraki intentionally upsized them, but the measurements are always the outside measurements.  On a thicker material , the end result is that the internal measurement will be smaller than on a thinner material.

Anyway, I am normally and L and this fits a dream in an L….

[DrPat]

Traditionally, the heavy shirts fit true to size.  For example, the original 07 and 08.  The 34 and new 07 seem larger.

Giles, can you confirm that this doesn't fit like the 34 with long arms and long and wide body.  In the photo the sleeve looks perfect.

[Giles]

Pat, yep I confirm that.  G

Need a Medium of this so bad, so so bad…

I am normally an XL in IH, so I will order an XL based on your advice, Giles. Thanks!

Wow, did you see the pattern matching on this shirt?  They all seem to line up nicely, even the collar and yoke!  This is easier said than done.  Nice job.

will be worn on a plane to Tokyo…that shirt traveled around the globe within a week
