IHT-1610 - 6.5oz Knitted Cotton Loopwheel T-Shirts
-
I believe these should be bought for the fabric and construction alone, regardless of measurements. But I wear Ih tees (in sizes ranging from XS to M) everyday, so I'm biased

IMO, the weight and construction seem to negate the apparent lack of length, they don't sit like any other T I have ever worn….
This and this.
If I'd bought these based on measurements alone I wouldn't have bought them at all, if you see what I mean. I usually wear M in IH tees for a snug chest and smaller arm opening. I took an XL in these. The measurements make it much longer in the body and wider in the chest than my normal tee's. All the extra fabric is there but it drapes so beautifully and they're cut so well that they look brilliant anyway. I'm sure I could buy anything from L-XXL and they'd all fit great.

It might be more useful to state which size 1610 is closest to your own, as well as your height and particular style preferences so that a specific criticism can be made. For instance, you need 1" extra length added to size (x). Otherwise, the generalized criticism yields unsatisfactory results. I am 5'7" and wear a (M). I prefer to wear these as undershirts, untucked, so it's best for me if they aren't longer than the gusset on the IHSH's. As they are now, the 1610 (M) Grey is pretty perfect for my purposes (but could be +/-.25" wider in the shoulder) so I would not want the measurements on the (M) to change much. Previously, people complained about the length of the tees, so the IHT-2014 was created which was made extremely long with more than 26.5" on a (S). That's too long for my preferences, but I can still wear it and have 3. Sadly, not enough of the tall people stepped up and purchased so they had to be put on sale. Some things might need to change for certain sizes, and others are perfect as they are. Please be specific.
IMO they all could use an inch added to the length but that is just my personal preference. I would rather have a T shirt that's a touch too long than too short. But to answer your question I would be a size Large and if it were an inch longer I would buy one.

well for me a shirt, or any article of clothing for that matter, has to fit to my liking regardless of how amazing the fabric might be.

These tees be the knees of bees, the bees knees these tees! Look at that collar

I really regret that I passed on these, I think they would make great undershirts in cold weather due to the lack of length and fantastic fabric. Any possibility of restock G @Giles ?

that's a great point actually. That's how I could wear them too. Thanks for justifying this potential purchase for me

It's all in the details. The shoulder seam has been reinforced with some extra fabric to provide sturdiness and some definite comfort, somehow it feels softer and more form fitting. Every detail functions perfectly, the soft and stable collar, the breathable but substantial fabric, as well as the unexplainable but marvelous "springiness" to the fabric.

I'm hoping to get a few of these when they come back in stock (I'm pumped about the shorter length). I usually need a 23.5 p2p in westerns. Any ideas how this translates to this t-shirt? I'm assuming xxl, but I imagine xl might work for a fitted look.

I normally go for an M in IH tees with about a 21" chest as I like tee's shortish and fitted. I went for XL (22.5" p2p) in these on the advice of Giles and it's perfect. If that was a regular IH tee I'd be swimming in it but as has been mentioned, there is something about the fabric in these tees that drapes perfectly so you get a fitted look despite larger measurements. I'd stay XXL if I were you.

Would you mind posting a fit pic whenever you get a chance? I'm having a hard time grasping that sizing up three sizes on a T-shirt will be a good fit. Not that I don't believe you but if thats the case then the length isn't really an issue and I will cop some on the next restock.
Thanks man.
