Also hoping the western gets made. Lovely colourway.

@Niro:

@Giles:

Despite what I said yesterday, we may do a western out of the same fabric this Autumn.  If you would like to cancel your order for the work shirt and wait for the western, please let me know.  And sorry for the confusion…

That's a kind offer, but I think I will stay with the workshirt. Can't take the risk if the western does not happen. Plus I really like the look of the aluminium buttons, and don't think the western would have such buttons?

+1  … can't await that 'bunfight-shirt'

sticking with my work shirt version but very good news that a Western will be made.

I will second that this unbrushed fabric feels completely different than the brushed UHF fabrics

Giles, is the Western a definite or is it still up in the air?

[Giles]

I'm 75% towards using up the 500 yards, so things are looking good…..

[louisbosco]

well if an S pops up somewhere….

[goosehd]

I put my name in for an XL western.  I hope that helps close the gap on your goal.

[Filthy2123ozjunkie]

Giles, have you ever thought of doing one size larger? That would account for a few extra yards. I'm pretty sure I've seen a couple guys that can't wear IH shirts because they're too small. 4x fat American size. 

[Giles]

Yep, I have…..

[Filthy2123ozjunkie]

I'll take that as a no. 

[mrman]

Before filling the form, it would be nice to know if the western will have similar measurements as this work shirt?

[Giles]

Filling the form is not a commitment, so there is no risk to you.

Our work shirts and westerns are different cuts.  We won't know exactly what the sizing will be until they are completed, but in all probability will be close to these

Filled it out, great sense of humour too.

@Giles , ever thought about doing tall sizes?

[Giles]

We are simply not large enough to do shape variations of the same size - sorry…

[Dstauffer]

Not get too off topic here on the thread, but I have found (as a somewhat tall guy 6'3") IH gear can be very wearable. Jeans often have a 36/37 inseam and with them returning to traditional IH sleeve lengths, I have no issues with bare wrists. Body length can be a challenge, but I have found it's a matter of me rethinking how long my shirts actually have to be. Same goes for outerwear.

All that being said, as many have commented all over the forum, sizing is a compromise as everyone's body is different. Furthermore, certain fabrics react differently than others and the fact the real humans are sewing these items account for a normal measure of variation on each item. There are definitely items I have had to disappointingly pass on due to measurements (the IHSH-70 is one), but that's true for everyone and is just par for the course. However, it makes us appreciate the items that are a good fit for us even more.

All in all IH clothing is by far the best I've ever had the opportunity to wear. I'm sure you'll find some items that will meet your needs.

Speaking of meeting needs, hope that 170 western is made in numbers large enough to meet our demand

I should have got my shirt already, but DPD said no one was in to sign for delivery, even though reception always has at least 1 person on it. Now I won't be able to get my hands on it for another two weeks as I am away…oh the tragedy 

[tvenuto]

That's intolerable!  ???
