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

[FlavourFade]

Starting to fade already after 20 wears, had to wash once

[weftyarn]

@FlavourFade Looks awesome! Mine is hanging in the sun right now after a first soak

I have the IHSH-293-OD in XXXL. Comparing sizing charts, it seems like I should buy the 12oz Wabash Western in XXL for a similar fit. Does that make sense? Is the IHSH-293-OD a tighter fit because of the overdying?

Thanks!

@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.

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!
