IHSH-55 - Wabash Western

^ NICE shot sir..

I agree completely, though I have only owned the latter version, I prefer the look ofvthe 55 and honestly from the measurement tables I think I'd like the cut better as well. The newest wabash western is cut very strange, IMO, I've never been able to out my finger on what it is but it just doesn't fit like it should in the lower part. It's almost like it flares out to a whole size bigger at the bottom as opposed to the shoulders and chest being snug fitting if that makes sense
-
The new wabash looks like it has a green overcast. It's a little too bright for me. I'm interested to see how it fades, since its a rope-dyed warp and weft, where the 55 fabric is fabric-dyed. I think the 1st run wabash will give a more authentic fade, where the new wabash will have sharp contrast, due to the dyeing technique.

My 62 is already showing signs of future brilliance. Mike is correct that dramatic contrast is the name of the new wabash game.

Actually Mike. I got the description of the early Wabash wrong.
The warp and the weft were rope dyed and then we fabric dyed a yellow/brown fixing dye.
I've updated the appropriate product pages…..

Couldn't a similar approach, a garment dip in black fixing dye, been used to stabilize Johnny?
-
It was not the dye that was unstable on Johnny:

Oh yeah. Well I cherish mine. He's unstable, much like his namesake. And owner.

Fucking A, I love this shirt. Traded with Nem for a L.
After seeing both IH wabash(s), I'm definitely partial to the 1st run. The brown retarding overdye is a really nice touch. It gives the fabric a vintage feel without being pre-distressed looking (ala RRL). Get some!!!Stylin motherfekker,,,glad it got there and does the job for you
