IHSH-180 - Ultra Heavy Flannel Classic Check Western Shirt
-
Cheers fellas.
My problem w/ IH shirts is I nee an XXL in chest and shoulders, and an XL in waist, opening, length and sleeve length. Most of my IH (western) shirts are XL, and the chest and shoulders are tight, which pulls at the chest snaps. I have a XXL westerns and the chest and shoulders fit well, but the length and opening is too long/big and looks/feels tent-like.
I have the 155 blue. I've washed it in cold water and hang dry. I think it shrank a little from brand new, but I've been afraid to ever dry it because it's tight as is. I'm wondering if XXL in UHF and hot wash/drying might shrink enough to fit me well.

I'm in pretty much the same position but between L and XL. I've always sized up as too big is preferable to too small. Loosing a bit more weight recently gave me the confidence to try hot washing my UHF's and I'm very pleased with the results.
My recommendation would be to take your XXL and wash at 50 then air dry. If you still think you need it then wash at 60 and air dry. If too big then try 60 and machine dry.

Can't really imagine a better fit.

Quick fit pic of my 180. Did a warm wash then a hot wash to get the shrink out. Feels kinda blousey in the waist but overall it’s a lot better than before. Sleeves could use another .5” of shrink too.

But then I looked at all my other UHF’s and thought how thankful I was for them and the rest of my awesome stuff, in true Thanksgiving spirit and all. And that I’m happy for all the other folks that snagged one. [emoji6]

Yeah, it sucks when you miss out on stuff but it’s good to appreciate what you have. I missed out on the 216, which I’ve wanted for awhile, and even though I had the opportunity to snag one from canoe club I decided to let it go. You win some you lose some

^ shirt looks beautiful with the late autumn colours. I really like the look with the trad denim/turnup combination @den1mhead
