IHSH-33-OD - 12oz Selvedge Denim Western Shirt - Indigo Overdyed Black
-
@neph93 I thought the poly cotton thread did not take up the dye?
In any event, shirt looks great on you @HalfPastNever. I agree with endo and neph that I would at least wear it and wash it a few times before you consider alterations. It will mold to your body.
I too got into higher quality clothing via Filson. While I still consider them a great brand, their fabrics and construction don’t really compare to IH.

@HalfPastNever The shirt fits great on you, and its exactly how the Western cut is supposed to look. I have a similar "(non) issue" with my Wabash but i left it alone. You wouldn't want to bring the shirt in at the bottom anyhow, you would be looking more at taking an inch or an inch and half up instead. But as stated by other posters, leave it and enjoy.
The westerns have longer body's and a more tapered silhouettes that flares a bit at the bottom, and it takes a bit of getting used to.
You can experiment with fits you like by buying a work shirt next time and seeing how a bit of a roomier and shorter body works for you aesthetically.
summed up: shirt looks just fine, leave it and enjoy your IH.

I'm going to take everyones advice and leave it for a while after the initial soak. I actually don't like box fit clothing. I was suggesting that I wanted the shirt to be more fitted to my body. I'm wearing a Filson thermal underneath in the pictures and its rather thick. When I wear a t-shirt, theres a lot more room.
Where in MN are you? I didn't think I would find a fellow Minnesotan in the forum.
Thank you to all who responded. Much friendlier place then many other forums I have been on.

One question about this beautiful shirt.
Is it sulphur dyed?
There is no information about it on the product page.
Best regards. -
Thank you @Giles

@68degreesorless Love the cut of these jeans, what are they?
-
@T4920 That is Oni's wide straight cut. I've hot washed and dried them a few times so I believe they are a touch narrower than they started.
-
@68degreesorless oh nice, secret denim or something lighter weight? I normally recognise ONIs a mile off!

@T4920 Natural Indigo XX 16oz

First post. And first piece of IronHeart denim (jeans are a work in progress but am hopeful will come to fruition soon)
Excellent quality. The run-off chain stitch isn't something that is readily recognised so may be on borrowed time. Wears like a light jacket. Loving the look wearing it open with the grey cotton loop wheel t-shirt.
Does anyone know if this will bleed if it gets wet? Weather is promising but it's been a wet and wild Winter in Australia recently.

@drkevy Great first IH piece! I’ve had my eye on this shirt for a while but can’t justify the purchase right now. My chainstitch runoffs always go bye bye quickly, I’m just not a fan of the look, but others are. Horses for courses.
If I may offer a piece of unsolicited advice about buying IH jeans (or any other jeans, really), it’s this: measure your current jeans and understand the relationship between rise and waist size. All the sizing mistakes I’ve made have related to this.
