IHSH-62-ind - 12oz Wabash Western Shirt - Indigo
-
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.
@OaktaviaSweet 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.

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.
-
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?
It is a beast of a shirt so this sounds about right. This area sees a lot of movement so it will break in soon enough.

Cool, cool thanks @neph93

I've had mine for a couple years and it's relatively soft now. Never had any noticeable shrinkage with cold washing and line drying @Oaktavia.

Pardon the grumpy photos, but I have been slowly thinking that perhaps this XL is too small for me. I feel that it fits my arms perfectly, and the length, chest and pretty much everywhere seems fine, except the waist/belly. I understand that I have a beer gut with a mostly skinny build.
My question to you all fine folks is should I keep pressing this shirt and hope it continues to break in and eventually will feel less stiff and relax around my waist? Or to buy an XXL if I can find one and have a looser fit. If I can pull this one off I will keep wearing it but when I sit down I can feel the fabric battling with my gut. I also understand that exercise can help with this (as does my girlfriend, though she tells me the shirt looks fine). Any feedback would be helpful.
-
I'm in a similar situation as you, waist-wise, and I'd size up and then give the XXL a warm-ish wash. I think you could also do with a little extra length there.
-
I think it depends on you. You have your own style and look, and I think that shirt works with it, possibly better than the XXL would?
The length is great imho, and while I can see it stretches a little over the belly, the rest looks good too.
So the question is one of preference. Is it uncomfortable to wear? Do you find yourself not reaching for it because of that? Because if you enjoy it as it is, I say carry on.

I was also worried an XXL might be too large everywhere else besides the belly. I also have some fades forming in the elbow creases that I am already pleased with, which makes me want to keep what I have.
I would not say it is uncomfortable to wear, except after a large dinner and several drinks on the couch. But I feel like most people share the same feeling, like how some people comically unbutton their pants after overeating.
I actually find myself reaching for it more often than my other IHSHs with hopes of a continued break in process.
