    i'd certainly not count on any stretching unless you do something drastic like soak it and apply tension

      One thing to note is TJ certainly likes things on the slimmer end. I myself, I’d rather have room than be uncomfortable all day for the sake of fashion. I also find that things i buy too small, I never tend to wear. My vote is it looks too tight but only you know best with it on.

        @jiminstitches it looks fantastic don't get me wrong, but I just know that a lack of comfort/practically would personally put me off reaching for this, which isn't ideal on such an expensive garment built to last a lifetime.

        Shoulders and upper back do look perfect though, perhaps that area being more spacious is creating an illusion of tightness in the middle.. if it feels good, roll with it mate!

        These shirts seem to hold their value well, so returning it and sizing up would probably end up costing you more after duty fees than selling it at a slight loss a few months down if the fit isn't working for you.

          @jfk1117 I’ve noticed that too.

          From what I remember he wears a Mediums or larges in many IH jackets and tops, whereas I wear XL XXL, and we are about the same build.

          He definitely likes a slimmer fit, and I guess we are all shaped differently and have different preferences as to fit.

          I like a bit more wiggle room in my clothes as long as they don’t look oversized.

            @T4920 @pechelman @jordanscollected Here's another photo which it seems to look a better fit. It doesn't feel overly tight. Yes that's a good point. about re-selling, I got a big customs charge of £240! which was a shock! I was wondering if that would apply again if I got an exchange, does anyone have experience with that? Thank you for all your help guys! ❤️

              @jiminstitches That's definitely the best size offered for you. That photo does look much better fitting than the previous. You should get some molding to your body over time that will relax the tight parts a bit more.

                  @jiminstitches that fit looks damn good to me! Hopefully the fit takes a bit of the sting out of that customs fee. Jesus.

                    @jiminstitches that fit looks spot on.

                    If it feels good then you’ve found shirt nirvana.

                      I got this sweat from Warehouse & Co, debating wether or not it's too small ...

                      I hate sweats and tees being too long, and this is a good fit everywhere else, but there's a part of me that thinks it looks a bit silly ...

                      Maybe I'm just not used to the more old school cropped style?

                        the length looks ok but the sleeves not as much. Is this supposed to be washed already? The couple of warehouse tee's ive had have shrunk noticeably in length after a machine wash/dry.

                            @pechelman bought it pre-owned, so assuming it's been washed at least once before.

                            Agree about the sleeves, will probably keep it but this is the second top I've had from WH where sizing has been an issue... last one (a size up from this) swamped me 😂

                            Really take the way IH fits me for granted...

                              @T4920 i think you could make that size work pretty well with a layer over it.

                                  The sleeve length would bother me, personally, and the body length is borderline

                                    The shoulder seams come down way too far off the shoulderfor the sleeves to be that short. And if you ever get held up at gunpoint your belly button will get cold when you put your hands up. It’s a strange cut.

                                        Looks borderline little small, weird the back is kinda shorter looking. Maybe it will stretch little more for ya, but you can def can make it work. I got a vintage Russell(fits like this) use just to layer but that was like 15 bucks.

                                          @Tago-Mago actually, turning it into a shortsleeve shirt isn’t half bad idea. I like the shortsleeve sweatshirts.
