IHSH-445-IND - 10oz Dobby Cloth Short Sleeve Mechanic Shirt - Indigo
-
I missed out on this one, and am now looking at retailers. What did you all do in regard of sizing?
Last year, I got the wabash mechanic shirt, and that is sitting fairly loose on me, which probably is what a mechanic shirt should do.
Of course I know how to read the measurements and compare them, my question is more based on 'feel', and if this cut works if aimed at a more tailored fit through sizing down.
@Tobi - which size did you get? -
@tody For me short sleeve shirts are for casual days in the summer and sunny holidays and for that reason I like them to be loose-ish fitting, nothing worse than a slim fitting garment sticking to my skin on a hot day, given that and the comments about the substantial feel of this shirt I was pleased to see the P2P and shoulder measurements slightly above what I would normally go for in a UHF/western of the same size.
The measurements also seem to compare pretty nicely to a couple of short sleeve shirts I own already, sleeve length and sleeve opening particularly. If it does turn out to be slightly too loose then could still be a keeper as I'm really liking the pics of it above with a white T underneath which means it could work for the slightly less warm days.
Hopefully getting delivered today so will update later if my thought process is proven correct!

@tody I went XXXL, up one size from my "usual" IH shirting size. I tried on XXL and it would have easily worked as well with room to spare, but decided to go really very loose fit with this. Personal preference, and also peace of mind for any possible shrink. I anticipate to wash this shirt a lot...
-
@tody Usual size for me. Large in almost every shirt I've bought from IH,
6ft. about 176lb. 80kg.
-
@tody I’m a large in UHFs and a large or medium in work shirts and CPOs depending on the shirt. I went smaller with the medium based on measurements. I’ll let you know if I made the right decisions when it arrives.

First short no spin 30c wash in... I see a bit of (welcome) shrink happening.. but have not measured.
-
I just received mine. Medium was the right call for me. Question to @Tobi or anyone else that has has worn this shirt - did the sleeve openings stick straight out when you first wore the shirt? Can I expect them to hang more naturally after some wear?
-
@samo relaxation in sleeves and mind
You can also fold them up once...
-
I’m so stoked to have snagged one.
-
@Tobi ha ha - that’s one relaxed sleeve you got there on a relaxed guy! Thx man.

Cracking shirt, my only purchase this season, over the moon

@svenz what size are you?
XL
-
To our surprise, we have a Medium and Large still hanging around.
-
got mine today and I love it. I got the Large and it's definitely roomy on me. Not too big though, and yeah as someone pointed out the sleeves do flare out a bit if that bothers anyone (not me).
I absolutely love this shirt. Just so good. Going to London this weekend and will wear it there..... -
5'11, 175lbs, athletic build and true XL in all IH westerns, work shirts, knits, and flannels. Saw the extra room in chest and shoulders in this one and went with the Large. The fit is spot on! Sleeper of the SS26 collection IMO.
-
So glad I stalked this one. Arrived here in Michigan, yesterday, from the UK. Giving it the first wear today. Sizing was spot on with a large for my tall/skinny self. Now to keep the cats from snagging it with their claws.
