Thanks Furatto.  I saw G's post about possible changes in colors, etc.  Did not see that original post itself.  Like a tidal wave of gear..

Shortened exactly 1 inch. They were able to shorten it without touching my chainstitch runoff and triangle thingies… The girl in the shop showed me the shirt, I said it was ok, she then took a pair of scissors and wanted to cut off the runoffs!.. I placed my hand IN BETWEEN the scissors and almost frantically shouted NO KEEP 'M ON!.. 

Either way:

Much better… perfect fit now.

Restocked….

Picked one of these up from SE last week… I love the shirt perfect fit after soak but have a question.

The chain stitch runoff on mine is more than slightly uneven. One side is nearly 7 inches long and the other  is just about 3... I might just be being picky but looks really odd to me when one hangs and has such a dominant presence aesthetically compared to the other. Is there anyway to trim this? I'm worried it will in ravel and I (for one) am a huge fan of the runoff

[Sugar Mountain]

Just hack away with scissors. I cut off the run-off on my 55 and nothing bad has happened.

[Giles]

Yep, cut it off, no harm will ensue

[tatmantall]

Alrighty appreciated fellas, just wanted to double check before I did something I would regret.

If you're really, really worried about it, you could put a small knot in the end of the runoff, just to be extra sure that it won't unravel.

And by the way- congratulations on picking up what is easily my favorite IH shirt.

i would like to see one of these really worn and washed.  does the indigo fade a good bit?  i think i liked the lighter color of the old wabash a little more, but this one looks great too.

[Seul]

This one will fade like CRAZY, trust me…

[Chris]

Pics, or it didn't happen.:D

@Seul:

This one will fade like CRAZY, trust me…

I gotta agree w/ Seul. I have only worn it about 4 times and did two hot soaks and edges are already showing a bit of fading… I'll try to get up some pics today or tomorrow

[hustler1]

Just wondering from the cats that have relished both the 55 and 62 wabash experience… I know that there is the color difference, but which fades the most? Or should I say, which fades the quickest with wash, and with wear?  Since the 55 was overdyed, will it eventually end up the same as a 62?

Thanks for any help

[Sugar Mountain]

The 55 will not end up the same as the 62 because they are different fabrics (the dyeing process was different iirc). The 55 is more of a slow fader but I am getting there with mine.

[hustler1]

thank you amigo. I was wondering about that.  I've been debating on buying the last 55 that seems available anywhere from tuckshop, but the more I've looked at the arm measurement, the more I think the sleeves are gonna be too short.  So I tried to console myself with the thought that the 62 will take longer to break in (which I dig).  But seems like that is not gonna work.  Ah well, the 62 was what first blew my mind anyway.

^It's a win, win. I have the 62 and it's one of my three favorite shirts. I wish I could find a 55, as well. You have a very good problem on your hands, my friend.
