I'll do a hot soak now
Thanks -
I got little to almost none shrinkage out of the fabric. But I did some "real" pictures and they make me think that I sized right.
-
If you want shrinkage, forget the hot soak. Hot wash (60C) and tumble dry should do the trick.
-
Fantastic fit David and thanks for the hint!

@Max:
I think one size down would be too small or uncomfortable. And it hasn't been washed yet. But I must say I love it more and more…
don't size down big man they shrink a lot in the wash.
i'm finding the summer sweats in large tight round the midriff compared to the winter weights and that's pre wash.
i've had a of mccoy delivered in the past few weeks will post later today.

More pics, Quality isn't too hot (taken on an iPhone)
Over all I couldn't be more pleased with this amazing shirt! In my opinion the cut and shape of the shirt is fantastic, pretty short in the body Which I like and the size is spot on for layering which is the whole reason I bought it,
The wool is so thick and warm, I had a bout 2 miles to walk this morning to work and it's down to -2 here, I had a t-shirt, Cabourn Roll neck and this on top and was as warm as toast walking in!
i got this bad boy in red. its lush; heavy wool that is thicker than a filson jacket so expecting it to be very warm in the winter.
my only gripe is that the buttons seem a little small given the sheer thickness of the wool.
perhaps things will loosen up over time but they are a little fiddly to button up.

Taking the chance to show off my A-2 Flight Jacket that I got from The Real McCoys this past year. Cut from their new leather, the quality of the 2013 A-2s is impeccable and unbeatable. Buttery good.
-
that jacket is superb. nice one.
-
Beautiful jacket. Looks better with the collar down, imho.
Ditto… Not big on popped collars in general.
-
i have recently become obsessed with that A2… thinkingn this maybe my next purchase
-
i bought that A2 10 days ago. Quality is stunning! It wasn't my target, cause of the price… i tried on some Aero's and Alexander Leathers and at last that Real McCoy. So, i had to adjust my budget. I've found the leather much nicer, feels like more natural and it hasn't that "glossy" shine like the others.
Excuse my english, i'm german speaking. -
Thanks for the info! I almost asked if anyone had a comparison between aero and alexander, is rather pay the price once than buy something and be unhappy later down the road and then end up purchasing what I should have got the first time! Appreciate lt greatly mate.
