IHSH-85- The Johnny Cash Too - Superblack 12oz Selvedge Denim Western Shirt

[_MUGATU_]

Love this shirt. Here's the fit straight out of the box. Seems like XXL should work fine. Sorry if these pics are huge.

Nice fit Magatu.

I just got this western and don't know if I should return and size down it, hot soak it to see if it shrinks a bit, or just wear it. Thoughts? (And apologies in advance for the horrible quality of the pictures)

I think it looks a little big. It looks like you have a lot of room to fill in that size and I don't think it will shrink enough. Depends how you want it to fit I guess.  Mine didn't shrink that much when I hot soaked it.

[DrBabyhorse]

That's what I'm leaning towards too. Thanks for your input.

[MP]

I'd size down, first picture looks OK, but the second two look too big.

[DrBabyhorse]

Thanks MP. I'm pretty much decided. The problem is the XXL is out of stock. I might try the IH64 in black instead.

[JCMx800]

It will shrink, and the hems will become curly so it'll look shorter.

[DrBabyhorse]

That's what I've read but if it doesn't shrink enough I'll be in the same situation and unable to return it. How did you wash yours?

[JCMx800]

With water and some other shirts in a washing machine. At home I can measure my xl

[DrBabyhorse]

I just reread your posts. How much do you think the arms and p2p measurements changed?

[DrBabyhorse]

Haha ok. Thanks JCM.

[JCMx800]

@DrBabyhorse
P2P: 22.9" -> 22.5"
Sleeve: 26.5 -> 25.2" (don´t know if I measured right?!?!?)


And the hem:

Hot wash and tumble dry may work.  But the shirt was made slightly bigger initially to accomodate the shrinkage, it may be a wash.  If you are still concern, I think you should return it (…..I know it is difficult).  Otherwise, you will be stuck with a shirt that you can't wear comfortably.  IH64 is altogether a different beast, some larger sizes are gone already, hope you will be able to get one.

Thanks for the advice. I went with the hot wash (returning the shirt wasn't going to happen) and I'm pleased with the results. The length overall and in the arms is much better and I think the p2p shrunk almost a half inch (it's right around 24 now).

Restocked. Large and XL now available.
