IHSH-56 Westpoint Western Shirt

Just arrived… the Holy Trinity:

The Ivory is shown reasonably accurately in this shot.  It's more of a dull bone colour rather than white.

Very nice

So tempted to add the khaki to my black - it really is a superb shirt…

Thoughts on the length of this?  I go back and forth on whether its too short or not.



It's an XXL, but has shrunk down a half size after 3 washes. Sizing is:
Chest-23.5
Shoulders-19.0
Length-29.0
Sleeve-26.0
Hem-22.4

I agree, it's borderline, but I'd consider it acceptably long.

I wish I had your problem Mike.  Everything is ripe cherry except the front length, which is a tart cherry.  But I agree with Chris that it is totally acceptable.  Consider yourself fortunate, I have never seen my pockets while wearing an IHSH.

Borderline on the front, perfect on the back. Nowt to worry.

[MikeC]

Exactly what I thought. Since its shorter in the front, I usually wear the IHSH-61 or IHSW-05 over it. Fabric is fucking amazing though, just ask Qinhan.

It looks good on you MikeC. The fit looks good to me.

[Qinhan]

Length looks great to me.  Fine at the back and it's reaching below your belt on the front.  I wouldn't be stressing.

And yes, fabric is amazing.

Washing day…

Quinhan,

Wanted to sport the rolled up sleeve look like you.  How in the world did you roll up your sleeves and wear them around elbows length?

When I try, it's to the point where it cuts circulation and after an a couple hours I've got deep red marks on my arms.

Rick Grimes wears a shirt like this in The Walking Dead season 3.

There's nothing like this material, so thick, tough, and still crunchy after many washes.

[Qinhan]

It can be a little difficult to do the roll up sometimes, but with all the cuff and sleeve snaps undone I can usually manage it.  Only thing I can think of is that maybe your forearms are proportionally bigger than mine?

@Giles:

It could be.  It is one of those frustrating situations, Haraki only knows it as Westpoint and I can't find out exactly what Westpoint is….

If I had to take a SWAG, I'd guess Cramerton twill. This was an old US Army cotton twill, and "West Point" is the US Army's military college.

More 56 love in the house!  When this khaki came up for a bargainous price in B&S, I just had to add it to the black I already own.  This shirt in an L is just the perfect size for me…

best fit so far…looks dope!
