      My XL arrived today (thanks wunnaz!). Sorry for the horrible iPhone pic but I'm pretty damn excited about this shirt. Here it is over my 21:

          imo it looks a tad too big, but when worn as an overshirt it sure does the trick…would chop 1-2" off in length though.

            I definitely bought it to be used more as overshirt and there is some room when I wear it with a t-shirt. As far as length goes, a couple inches off the bottom would be nice (I have a short torso and long arms so I deal with this all the time) but I don't know anyone I trust locally to chop the bottom off. Also not sure how the pockets would look then either.

              veloaudio, congrats on the purchase. Wise choice, you won't regret it. I would say to leave it as is. If an overshirt is what you wanted, then mission accomplished, sir. If the length is really bothering you, I know some forum members were able to get a slight amount of shrinkage with a scalding hot wash.

                Thanks Sean. The shirt is amazing. I was thinking about a wash to try take and take some room out. I also know wunnaz did a soak to it already. Maybe a wash and then a short spin in the dryer?

                  Yes, Veloaudio. i already done a hot soak but didn't wash. shrinkage was about 0.5/0.8 inches in length. The fit on u is a lot more better than on me. length might b long a bit but the arm is just nice. i needed to fold about 2/3 inches to get that fit. Now, M size is just nice for me except tight a bit in waist area because of my tummy.:(

                    Here is the main post I was thinking of;

                    @Max:

                    I did a 95 degree wash and am quite satisfied with the outcome. The bodylength and shoulders shrank 2 cm, the chest 3cm, the arms 1 cm. I think the fit is now close to perfect, no?



                    (Excuse the 6 o clock out of bed look)

                    Remember, the Max Power way is the right way…

                    My only concern with the dryer is you could get some marbling, if you aren't careful. I would do a super hot wash, hang dry, and see how it turns out. If you don't receive the desired results, you could always wash and then dry it again.

                      I had this fabric before (TWHR01) and I hot washed and dried the shit out of those jeans. This fabric doesn't marble like heavier fabrics.  This will help with the puckering/roping, which will give you some additional shrinkage.  All twills shrink, I don't care if they are sanforized or not. Sanforizing does not get all the shrinkage out (1%-5%).

                        Well there you go, veloaudio. Pretty sure you can take MikeC's advice to the bank. Have at it, and let us know how it goes.

                            ^^ Nice. So excited that the od is sitting in my stack patiently waiting for my MBB. It's definitely shirt/jacket weather here.

                              Washed and dried and I'd say mission accomplished. I was able to get about 0.5" shrinkage across the measurements:

                              Pre-Wash/Dry (Wunnaz measurements, in my excitement I forgot to take my own before washing)
                              P2P - 22.5"
                              Shoulder - 19"
                              Arm - 27"
                              Length(Back) - 31.9"

                              Post Wash
                              P2P- 22"
                              Shoulder- 18.5"
                              Arm- 26.5"
                              Length(back)- 31.5"

                              FYI, I used a High Efficiency front loader on a light soil cycle.
