Got mine too. It’s not what I expected, it’s better. Pictures do not do this shirt justice. Instant favorite here too.

I’m hoping for a future restock with a slimmer silhouette, or a regular western version without the pockets. If you want a western style shirt in work shirt dimensions, this is the shirt to get. The fabric is really nice.

Here are the measurements for my tag size 32’s pre/post wash:

Centimeters:
Waist 85.5 / 82.5
FR 27 / 26.5
RR 39,5 / 39
Thigh 31 / 29.5
Knee 20 / 18.9
Hem 19.3 / 18.7
Inseam 82.5 / 82

Converted to inches:
Waist 33.7 / 32.5
FR 10.6 / 10.4
RR 15.6 / 15.4
Thigh 12.2 / 11.6
Knee 7.9 / 7.5
Hem 7.6 / 7.4
Inseam 32.5 / 32.3 (stretched when wet)

So quite substantial shrinking width wise and almost no shrinking length wise. They came out significantly tighter than pre wash but I managed to stretch the thigh and knee back out almost all the way. And the waist stretched back out too.

Haha received mine today. I can't belive how much stiffer they are compared to the regular XHS. Looking awesome though. Before and after soaking/washing measurements coming tomorrow.

@Slash Gentle cycle, no spin. Safest option unless you don't mind marbling.
Getting mine today too it seems.

@Slash If they are anything like the regular XHS they will stretch back out and then some.

@Ross Thank you!

I just realized I might need one of these. Any info on the next restock of these @ShopatIronHeart?

Just soak them and hang to dry, no need to wear them wet. They will stretch where they need to, it might take a couple days but the results will be better.

I tried both a L and a XL in a store and unfortunately, it's not for me. L was snug over the shoulders, chest, and a little short. XL was good over the shoulders and the sleeves were actually not that bad. Way too big waist and opening for me though, and the pockets made that more pronounced. And still on the shorter side. I think it will fit someone with a little sturdier frame than I have.
The fabric is great, really thick and sturdy but still soft.

Hoping for a regular western version in the future!

Thank you so much for the effort with the pictures! Is this a shirt/fabric we may see return in the future?

@JoshC Thank you, I really appreciate it. I think the fabric looks amazing and this is the shirt I really wanted from the spring/summer collection.
Maybe it's more pronounced for the M and L sizes, which usually fit me well, than the larger sizes. I may have to size up to XL in this, for shoulder width and length, but that might make it too big in the waist, opening, and sleeves. Difficult decision!

Ouch, seems like a boxy fit for being a western/cpo?

But also, hard to dig when too big

@jglatz If you have a steamer, you can use that. Otherwise, soaking the arms (or the whole jacket) is probably your best bet.

Haha wth, give it up. Why make a fool out yourself over a shirt? Don’t like it? Don’t buy it.

Yeah, don’t put your phone in your jeans pockets unless you really like phone shaped fades. I use a bag, the inner pocket of a type 3, or breast pockets on shirts.

@deathbydenim It's a taste thing I guess but I would have wanted to at least try a smaller size. Arms, shoulders, and torso all seem to have plenty of space in that XL and the sleeves are fairly long. A smaller size may be a bit short though.

@cyclops The waist will stretch back out to where it started very quickly, and then some, even if you wash them hot in my experince.

I didn’t know about this, I would be extremely interested in one of these.
