IHSH-80 - Indigo Check Western Shirts - Blue & Red
-
Anyone finds this a bit more tapered than a "regular" western. I one sized up, there is only a small bit of room in the waist area? Worst, I could be gaining weight…
-
kind of regret not going tts in this but was worried the P2P and arm length was gonna be too tight for decent mobility… oh well
-
yeah. Its not really a big deal honestly, and actually is more versatile because I can layer a thermal under it at this size… I am positive with the smaller measurements I could not have wore a shirt with any substantial weight underneath without ripping out the back of the shirt when I bend my arms... The sleeve length would have been pushing it as well, but; there are times that I wish I had a few more fitted shirts in my wardrobe.

I know what you mean re: fitted shirts. I think this is where the Henley becomes even more valuable – such a versatile piece. I'm really looking forward to the possibility of more colors. I haven't heard anything on this front, but there is certainly enthusiasm for it.
Circling back to the 80, I think you made the right choice. I have a 36 that is a little bit on the larger side, but the sleeves and shoulders are perfect. Since it's a warm weather shirt (ultimate beach shirt), I kind of like it being airy. The 80 isn't as light as the 36, but it's still pretty light. If you want it to be a bit more substantial, you can layer with a Henley (like you alluded to; and like I'm doing now). If it's really warm out, you can just wear it more relaxed, with a T, and enjoy the breeze.
