@eyeq8402:

The shirt looks great max! If you don't mind me asking, where did you find it? Ive been looking for one for awhile.

Thanks! I got it on the supermarket off corporalclegg.

This shirt is great.(surprise) Only problem is the fit. It might be a but loose for my liking. Specifically the sleeves and length. The width is fine with me. What do you guys think?

[elclintor]

I think you could go a size down…

What size is it that you are wearing?

[J-IV]

Small. Usually I can fit between a XS and S (based on measurements). But since this one is a bit roomier, it looks like a small medium.

Hot wash and hang dry. If not enough shrinkage then a hot wash and hot dry. Would prob solve your sizing issue J-IV. Cheers and Go Niners!

Thanks El and Lando. Appreciate the help. Will try it out and see how it goes.

The 31 and 41 seem a little bigger than other IH shirts.  I did a M in the 41, and the S 31 I got recently worked out better.  They shrink a little bit, but not much.

Shoulders look perfect.  Chest and length look good.  Sleeves look a bit long but not too bad.  You'll notice that many people on this forum wear their sleeves much longer than you.

In my experience a hot wash doesn't do much.

[Max Power]

Agreed, but I think the arms look too wide and the shirt a bit too long. I'd definitely size down one if it was my shirt, as I wouldn't feel comfortable. But if you do, all is fine

[Finn666]

yap…down one would be my way to go as well!

[J-IV]

Appreciate the feedback guys!

I've done a hot wash and now I'm waiting for them to dry. Let's hope some shrinkage has occurred.

I hate indoor pics…but I love that shirt. My favorite at the moment.

Update: It shrunk about .5 or so. Not really bothering me too much so I won't fuss about it. I'll probably give it a hot dry when I decide to wash it. But damn, it's a beautiful shirt.

Indeed. Would love to see an reincarnation with green or black/white/blue colour.

You could also do some layering if you feel it's too big, wear a hoodie underneath or so.

I agree. With both your statements. ::)

Although it isn't too bad, so I can probably pull off with or without layering.

It's hard to tell how long the sleeves are, but it is clearly long in the body.  The finishing at the bottom is simple enough that you might be able to have it shortened without ruining it.

My benchmark for length is if it covers the red W, it's too long.  I asked my mom to shorten my 41 by and inch and she wouldn't do it for so little… I didn't attempt to argue

I agree with you on that one! But it isn't bothering me too much. Like Max said, I'll probably just layer or something. The shirt is too good, so I can't really complain.

Nice metric…..
