IHSH-62-ind - 12oz Wabash Western Shirt - Indigo

[goosehd]

@denimdad Each run will vary in sizing due to the construction of the garment and the person's that are making them.

[denimdad]

@goosehd Ah got it. Thank you

[FlavourFade]

@denimdad I feel like the wabash is the roomiest between my other western shirts, btw I wear a XXXL in the 293od and a XXL in the 62. And its still roomier

[denimdad]

@FlavourFade good to know! Do you ever wish you went down to XL given how roomy it is? Sounds like you and me are similarly sized.

[Tago Mago]

@denimdad as always don’t get distracted by the tag size. Check the measurements, compare them to a shirt of yours that fits you well, and go from there. If you have questions, feel free to ask on here or the guys at IHUK

[FlavourFade]

@denimdad I have thought about it but think giving it a hot wash one day would be better. I would need a XL.5 maybe

[weftyarn]

This run of 62 really runs big. Went XL instead of XXL for the first time and still have plenty room to layer etc.

The 293 OD XL I just got fits over a tee but is way tighter than the 62, especially in the arms.

At the end of the day measurements are still your best consultant though!

Some early signs of wear

@weftyarn Nice! I put off buying it from this run: too many other purchases.

Keep the updates coming… Love a wabby fade.

[Tago Mago]

I don’t measure my stuff, I go by feel and look. Newly purchased:

The upper arms bothered me the most, quite billowy.

1 wash 30 °C 600 rpm:

Better but not quite there. Another wash, 40 °C 800 rpm:

Happy now

Heretic!

More seriously, it looks great now.

[Tago Mago]

@ARNC I play by my own rules . And thank you

@Tago-Mago how did you find the wabash reacted to/shrunk with the 40degrees sir? Looking to do something similar - ideally would be reducing length without too much impact on chest. Or does it feel like a gentle reduction across the board?

[Mister_Brue]

@long_john86 I think you may see slightly more shrinkage in length rather than width, from what I noticed after washing my jacket, but @Tago-Mago will probably be able to give you a more precise answer.

[long_john86]

@Mister_Brue thanks for the info!

[Tago Mago]

@long_john86 this is entirely subjective and in no way based on hard facts. I'd say I got some shrinkage across the board, most noticeably in the upper arms and in the length, both overall and a little in the sleeves. The length will sort itself out because the hem will roll up anyway, in my case particularly so in the back, which I don't mind

[long_john86]

@Tago-Mago Roger that, I’m going in. Will report back. Cheers!

[Tago Mago]

@long_john86 go for it. Be aware though that the sizing on this release runs fairly big, as @weftyarn also discovered, so if you get the opportunity to try one on first, that would be ideal

[long_john86]

@Tago-Mago Yeah mine is from this release too, so hopefully should work out

[xzther8]

@weftyarn I don’t understand how so many of the western cut shirts have different measurements, whether it is the length, some coming up slimmer than others etc? Don’t they all use the same pattern so they should be cut to the same measurements? Ima not sure why IH has this issue
