IHSH-62-BLK - 12oz Wabash Western Shirt - Black
-
Hi guys, need help with the fit. Should I go for size medium or small? I'm a bit overweight right now, but shedding it via fasting. Thanks!
-
I prefer the small.
The sleeves in the medium are too long and it looks too big in the chest and waist.
When wearing the small, can you touch your toes and touch your opposite shoulders by crossing your arms across your chest? If so, then it’s probably not too small.
-
Another vote for the M. How tight is the neck collar when buttoned up on both? That's usually my deciding factor when I'm right in between two sizes. If one is strangling me, or if one looks like I'm swimming in it around the neck.
I can deal with different fit in most areas, but if the collar and shoulders are just too loose or too tight, it ain't happening.
-
I never really close the neck collar, but it's a bit snug with the M. Never tried on the S. If I can, I guess I can just hot wash it with woolite to shrink it if I lose a bit of weight..

Are you wearing the same shirt in both pics? The first one looks a lot bigger. Try taking some pics straight on instead of from above and with better lighting.
You won’t get much shrink in the horizontal direction. Most shrinkage occurs in the arms and length.

Top one is medium

I think both look great in their own way, really. The M will be more versatile for layering etc..
The S however Will look sharper / more fitted.Go with whatever you feel more comfortable in,
I think either way this shirt will be a win for you (just judging by the pics…) -

The medium looks a little large. The small looks good, but a little small over the shoulders.
Best bet is probably medium then shrink. Soak thoroughly forst then wash on super hot. 90 or 95C. Air dry.

Finally added the 62 in black to my closet. Although not a new idea, I went for the copper snaps like others have with this shirt. Pleased with outcome.

Paired with a cream 1600. My new favorite combo.

Any idea on the next restock for both the black and indigo? Giles suggested a few months ago it was likely to be Feb time?
-
This is a size small, which seems to just barely be too small. Should I swap out for a medium on the restock?
-
Well, it doesn’t look like the buttons are pulling along the placket, so it’s not showing signs of being literally too tight. That said, it looks like a pretty snug fit. I’d probably go a size up if it were me, but that’s just personal preference. Is it tight in the shoulders when you cross your arms?
-
Not necessarily. I just think it looks and feels like something that I’ve had since high school and grown out of. So yeah your inclination to size up seems right. I appreciate the input, thanks!
