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

I think you’ll get plenty of shrink out of a warm wash. Be careful of the waist measurement though, you may lose some there too if you go too hot or use too much agitation.

@MichaelMcFly don't size down. I had the same experience with my Wabash and after a hot wash it's perfect. My sleeves were just like yours and same with the body length. Keep it, wash it, and love it. The hot wash will bring the sleeve openings in a bit too and will help with the cuffs wanting to fall down over your hands.

Check out my before and after pics below.

Cold wash line dry for me because I’m a long old guy. I think this is my favorite IH shirt.

[MichaelMcFly]

Thanks guys, i washed the shirt on 60° and now it fits very well! 
Perfect decision.
New Picture is coming later.

Good to hear. The wabash is fairly predictable like that and it is nice to have the option to dial your fit in with a wash. If you ever feel like you want more, a 90C wash will probably give you that and the wabash tolerates a hot wash without taking damage.

Took a photo for social media and figured I would share here. My wabash shirt arrived this afternoon. What a substantial friggin shirt. I had no idea how much my IHSH-110, which is also 12oz denim western, had softened up! Woo this thang is nice. This winter will be focused on breaking in this shirt and my IHJ-72.

That's a serious hand tattoo if I have ever seen one. @Oaktavia

Sweet outfit, and your house looks awesome. Like Little House on the Prairie or something.

Hah…I tend to get carried away sometimes. I tattooed the black on myself. Lots of bourbon involved.

Thanks...I have been eyeing a wabash shirt for sometime now. Love everything about it.

It is a historic home in downtown Frederick, Maryland. A lot of the old large houses have been divided into multiple smaller units and called "apartments". Duplexes cut four ways and additions built on the backsides. I'm just happy I got the unit with the porch.

Bourbon? I'll bet you bled like a stuck pig. 

[Oaktavia]

Hard to remember

I do not want any shrinkage after washing…is that possible? Cold/cold wash every time it stinks?

[Giles]

That'll work

[Oaktavia]

@Giles:

That'll work

Cool, thank you for the quick response Giles.

Also- have any of you noticed a stiffness in the thicker armpit seam area when breaking in? I can pinch the fabric out from my pit and I do have room, its just borderline chafey…am I alone here?

I always wear an undershirt, so I haven’t noticed. Makes total sense, though.

I always wear undershirts too…my westerns would get super smelly without them haha...but the thickness of the fabric inside the armpit I think just needs some breaking in. I'm still used to my super broken in IHSH-110 and was surprised how thick the IHSH-62 is.
