Sorry, no camera on my end, but the shirt is awesome. I'd say it fits me about the same as your pics show. That's one thing I like about IH in that their sizing is very consistent, and I am a big fan of Aspero cotton. The IH Western cut just works better for me than anything I've come across. |

also, I forgot to mention that I used all of my available Rakuten points on this purchase and got just over 20 bucks off so the shirt ended up costing me under 200 bucks. I also noticed it's about five dollars cheaper today than it was when I bought mine. Good sign right?

The Dollars has moved up a bit against the Yen, which is great news for us US shoppers buying from Japan. I expect it to continue this trend for the foreseeable future, which is great. |

Once my divorce has been finalized i'm thinking I might have to pop my IH cherry and get one of their western flannels. Been tempted on a few occasions but my pending legal bills have all but put me on a spending freeze

Can someone explain to me why IH shirt collars are Sooo BIG?
I feel like a Bobble Head in them some times.
I wear a XL shirt that have a 18.5 neck! Do they really have to be that big? 16-17 would be more appropriate

I have the exact opposite problem, lol. I wear a medium, and generally, I can't button any shirts that I own to the top button. My 147's are an exception

Well my IH cop freeze came to a crash, as per usual. Bought the 107 in Black in size XL off of IH BST.

Confession time. I've been reading this thread with some amusement over the past two months . Seems like 'his board was turning into an IH site....all IH all the time...
I do like their stuff and agree it is heirloom quality but the prices have made me a sick.
I will also state the the IH 634 was without a doubt the best pair of denims I've ever owned.....too bad i could not live with the imho shorter rear rise....
Anyway I saw the western indigo corduroy in the flesh yesterday....couldn't resist despite the price...
And truth be told if I did not just pick up a SC denim shirt on sale, I would have been seriously contemplating the IH tonal western.
The tonal stitching plus the slightly worn one washed looked is killer.....

When it comes to "Heirloom". I think of It being only One piece.
I'd say I remember my father wearing one type of shirt (Olive Green HBone).
Inheriting an entire wordrobe is not what I'd want. One or two pieces is makes them special.

127 vs. ombre, ombre all the way. After receiving the grey 130/ombre and subsequent revaluation of the green 127 (still new as I'm not entirely sold on the green), immediately decided to sell and get the blue ombre via RB...sold out though:( FYI, 130 and 127v2 appear equivalent in sizing.

And truth be told if I dint just pick up a SC denim shirt on sale, I would have been seriously contemplating the IH tonal western. i've slowly come around to IH despite their prices. I'll probably never pay $300+ for a flannel shirt but now i'm thinking $200-250 isn't unreasonable if it fits me like a glove and is built like a tank. I think it's just a matter of time before people start getting over the sticker shock and embracing the quality over other brands. Plus, IH seems to retain a lot of its value if you wanted to sell. As I said before, once my divorce is finalized and I have some spare cash laying around i'm gonna buy an IH flannel from RB. |

I went on to RB yesterday to pick up the blue Ombre too and yep, XL is all gone. I've that so far this year everything seems to be sized very consistently. I've been an XL in everything. |

Seriously. Favorite Cut and Sewn piece, favorite UHF, favorite flannel, favorite denim...well you get the idea. I don't think I could pick just one. |

I think the underlying problem we've all faced is fit & quality. from what I've read, IH seems very well made but you're paying a premium. Having purchased from many different brands i've found that fit is what will make or break a brand for me. there are some brands I tried and will never buy again *cough*Freenote Cloth*cough* and some that I own 1 artical of clothing from but want to try more. At this stage in my life i'm feeling like i'd rather pay more for a well fitting piece of clothing than pay less for a poorly fitted one. I go back and forth depending on the piece.
