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

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

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

        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.

                Just as soon as you embrace dressing like an Englishman.

                        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).

                                Yes, I save my westerns for working on Chris' ranch.

                                        In case you couldn't tell, that's me on the left.  No western shirts.  Ever!

                                          On a more academic note, it's beer o'clock in Norway. Cheers!

                                            Beer o'clock here in Baile Átha Cliath (Dublin) too.

                                            In the interests of not slagging off the Brits or the Yanks I'll add a little civility and state that I love snap westerns and have never owned a work shirt. If I were to own one the IHSH-75 is it. A beautiful shirt.
