      Yeah, I read your review, but I have Popeye forearms, so that's my main concern.  I love this shirt, but it would kill me to buy it and then have to give it up because it was cutting off the circulation in my hands after a few washes.

        Yeah I don't wanna be the lad that sells you on an ill-fitting shirt, Houston… Sleeve-slimness is one of those things that's never been an issue for me... So I can't help ya there...

        How do you feel about a good ole roled up sleeve though?..  🙂

          I love a rolled up sleeve, in fact, that's probably the only way I'd wear this one.  Just hesitant to make the commitment.  I've been wavering back and forth on this one for months.  Every once in a while I re-read the thread, put the shirt in my basket and then talk myself out of it again.

              Yeah, I know.  I'm pathetic.

                Chris, as a fellow Popeye, I tried my normal XL size and it felt fine, good fit all round. Because of the taper on the sleeves I generally find it difficult to roll the sleeves up on my IH shirts (impossible on my 33); for reference my forearms are 13" at the widest point.

                  That is good to know.  I normally wear a size Large and also have 13" forearms.  Based on the measurements, an XL would probably fit really well.  That might have been all I needed to go over the edge.;)

                        This shirt with the Vulcans and your Loden Vibergs would be tough as fuck bro. I'm into the indigo and green look lately, a lot.

                          Actually, I was thinking more about wearing it with a pair of ducks (and my Vibergs), kinda like this:

                          Once I get it to fade a bit, then I'll mix in the jeans.  I try not to go too monochromatic, and since I can't fade denim worth crap, that limits my dark blue shirts.

                            It's fecking brilliant.  How's that?  😉 😉

                            Yep, that'll probably do it 😉

                            Will go XXL, the XL 47 and XL 22 are getting a bit tight 'round the chesticles lately.

                            C'mon Chris, I'm game if you are..

                                        After writing that and reading the rest of this thread, I think I've nearly talked myself into it as well…...payday approaches, hmm  :-\

                                          So here she is..

                                          I love the shirt, but the fit not so much.  Looks a bit sack like me thinks.

                                          Should I try a hot wash and hope for some shrink, or send back and size down? Or maybe I should stick to Western cuts???

                                            It will fall and Workshirts are supposed to be more relaxed for working in.
