    • RE: IHSH-398-CAM - 11oz Corduroy Western Shirt - Camel

      I had a chance to try one on before buying, it definitely is sized different than previous westerns. I'm usually a 3 or 4XL in the westerns, but based on measurements this shirt would be a 2XL for me. It would have fit exactly the same but for the armholes. Like most IH shirts the armholes are extremely high, so unless you're a skinny dude the armpits will be very tight. In order for this shirt to fit me I'd need a 4XL but then the arms are too long and the waist is too big so I'd have to do a few alterations.

      It's a beautiful shirt, but the biggest issue for me is the high armholes. If you have any sort of shoulder and arm size this will be extremely tight in the armpit area so you'd have to stick with your normal size. If you're a skinny dude then you could for sure size down and it would fit very nicely.

      The measurements they provide are all bang on, so you can trust the measurements like they say. However, the one measurement that I would find helpful would be the size of the armhole at the shoulder. That would allow me to determine if it would be a tight fit.

    • RE: IHSB-BIGBUCK-BLK - Black Deerskin Western Shirt - The Big Buck

      Got my 3XL, the only hard part was deciding between the black or olive...and before someone says just get both - not sure the wife would be super thrilled about that idea lol.

    • RE: IHJ-116-BLK - 14oz Selvedge Denim Fleece Lined Modified Type III Jacket - Black

      Got mine, absolutely love it. This thing is even better than I had hoped although I did size up from my usual sizes so that I could layer underneath it.

      The only thing it's missing is a pocket on the inside where I can put my phone. Something like what's on the leather Type III would be nice, but I'll just take it to my tailor and have him add one on the inside. Otherwise this thing is bang on!

      But what a shirt! Think how long this will last you, and that it will look better and better the more you wear it and the more it ages. Plus it's not really something you see a lot of other people wearing around.

      Not that I'm trying to convince anyone.

    • RE: IHM-39-BLK - Military Serge A2 Deck Jacket - Black

      Picked mine up and love it, it's a little lighter than my N1 but perfect for our current fall weather. The only thing it's missing is an inside pocket where I can put my phone, but it looks easy enough to have one added on. As a bonus the wife really liked it, even though she's the one who always reminds me I don't need any more jackets!

      I usually go 3 or 4XL in the westerns, but based on the measurements I ordered a 2XL. Hope it fits because I'm similar size at 6' and 220. Guess I'll see pretty quick. I did a pretty thorough measuring exercise with all my current shirts so I'm hoping the 2XL works. It appears to be similar to most of my current 3XL's from what I measured.

      As if I needed another jacket...so I'll end up getting one anyways haha. I'm going to wait for it to arrive at my Stockist so I can try it on and get one that I like the fit with. Pretty excited because this looks like another great coat.

    • RE: IHSB-BIGBUCK-OLV - Deerskin Western Shirt The Big Buck - Olive

      I went with black, but maybe down the road I'll go with the olive if the black ages like I'm hoping it will.

    • RE: IHSH-330-BLK - 9oz Raised Whipcord Western Shirt - Black

      I thought it looked like moleskin as well when I first saw it. I really loved the feel and actually thought about getting both colors, although in the end I went with the charcoal as I already have a few green westerns. It's a really nice shirt, not as heavy as the flannels but still a substantial feel to it. It's fast becoming a favorite of mine.
