IHSH-62-ind - 12oz Wabash Western Shirt - Indigo
-
Just got mine in the mail. First off, again the experience of buying directly from Iron Heart comes just shy of Giles landing a chopper in front of your house and checking to make sure the shirt fits himself. It got here FAST, and I couldn’t be happier. That being said, my “experiment” has paid off, as I am thrilled with the medium in this shirt. I started out as a size XL, have lost 80lbs and was no longer sure what size I would be. I think l I’ll be exchanging my black version of this shirt for a medium.
To help anyone else in a similar sizing dilemma, I’ll post my measurements. I’m 5’10.35”, 161 lbs. Chest 41” directly under the armpits, but this is mostly due to a wide-ish back, when measured directly over the nips I’m about 40”. Shoulders from the tips of the shoulder bones are 17.5”, and I’m finding with these shirts (at least for me) it is ok for them to be a little shorter than the shoulders measurement, due to the cut of the shirt. From now on, I’m going to focus more on sleeve/body length and chest, and stop worrying about the shoulders as much. Anyway, hope my rambling helps someone who might being going through any uncertainty determine their size. To call these garments “shirts” borders on silly, as they really are something amazing.

Fantastic fit there @Entropy rider ! Result looks well worth the effort you put into sizing correctly.

I just want to give a shout out to @Entropy rider first for stepping up to health and losing that weight and all. Congratulations. It's harder as we get older. And next for the good pictures and discussion of fit, which is always helpful to others. I am much your size now and will be taking that advice to heart in future purchases. Kudos to IH for making it right by you but nothing surprising about that.

@motojobobo Thanks!
@profdbrk Thank you, as well… it does get harder, but I’ve also become more disciplined in my forties, which has helped. Brands like IH have become part of my weight loss maintenance strategy... I can’t afford to replace my entire wardrobe and don’t want to wear anything less

I know these were just restocked but when is the next size medium restock? -

Normally I never get any compliments for my attire. But recently, have been getting compliments for the look and fit for this shirt. At work I rotate between this and the IHSH-07 and I've got few "Nice Shirt", "Nice Fit" compliments from my colleagues. To those I explained about Iron Heart and made them aware of the brand!

Good to hear @jothishan

Finally joined the Wabash club. I love Summer but this shirt really has me looking forward to the Fall
special thanks to Adam for going the extra mile to help me with sizing!

Thanks, Neph. All the Wabash fades you’ve posted are killer. Hope to get somewhere close down the road.

Getting softer with each wear–-- Wabash 12oz is no joke

just purchase mine from SESF..i love the style..however its a bit long(im short!) does anyone recommend doing a hot wash and (god forbid) putting it in a med dryer?
The indigo wabash shrinks a bit anyway with wear and 40-degree Celsius wash. The sleeves will shorten a bit as you wear it and get creases in the elbows, and the back length will shorten after washing and wearing, especially as this fabric has a tendency to fold/roll up a bit at the bottom back. How much do you want it to shrink? Some fit pics might make it easier for folks to share their experience/suggestions.
