      @Giles, understood. So sizing down wouldn't give a slimmer fit in the work shirts. It would just end up small?

      Correct

        For some odd reason, I feel I have to size up in work shirts from IH

        I know violence is not the answer, I got it wrong on purpose

          M in everything… Workshirts are a bit boxier, but shorter, plus more convenient to (wait for it...) work in.

            As a fatty I tend to opt for work shirts (though not always) for more girth room.

              So you don't have anything against the yoke/snap aesthetic? It's just a fit thing?

                  I've got a few of both styles, and it's mostly been the fabric that defines my choice; snaps are nice to have, but I love the aluminium buttons on my 78 as well

                    So you save your westerns for taming horses and herding cattle?  😉 Thanks for the feedback!

                      The western aesthetic is the deal killer for me.  The slimmer fit is better and I like snaps, but I have never liked western style shirts.  Living in Texas has made me more paranoid about looking like a caricature, too.

                          Exactly.  Boots, jeans and western shirt= constant "Where'd ya park your horse, pardner?" jokes.

                          I have to endure enough of that shit every time I leave the state as it is.

                                      I like westerns a little more. But I like works almost as much, really. Can't have a wardrobe without a few of each.

                                      My IH collection is still in its infancy (and really my entire wardrobe since I started trying to built something nice about a year and half ago), but it's coming along.

                                      I will pick up the 102 Work at some point, but I'm holding out for some other stuff right now.

                                        Not to push you towards the 102 now, but I am pretty sure it is on its way to extinction.

                                            I am aware of this. Just in the boat of "don't want to part with 102 funds yet until necessary" (since I have the 101, my purple fix is temporarily stifled).
