Killer Look!

So it did shrink a little;

P2P: 20.35" (-1.35")
Arm: 25" (-.5")
Length: 28" (-.7")

Shoulder stayed the same

Fit is now PERFECT for me.

Even after a warm wash this shirt is still stiff as. As you've all been saying, you know it's going to take a while for this shirt to break in, very exciting!

[Snowy]

@tatmantall, perfect!

Lookin good Tat. How "mantall" r u?

[Snowy]

Whilst studying/wearing this earlier, I finally saw the hickory stripe in all it's detail. One of those things that helps it pop, but hard to describe why it pops without looking closely. (click for full-size porn)

Snowy, did you get any shrinkage in length?  Thanks.

@MikeC:

Yes, I did, 0.7" (updating original post now).

Great detail shot, Snowy.  I wouldn't have noticed that, otherwise.

brilliant there snowy!

1.5" p2p shrinkage…tha fuck :-\

[bagley920]

That's a whole size, damn!

[Snowy]

I washed it with the intention of trying to get it to shrink, and it shrunk perfectly for me.

I machine-washed it @ 60 degrees C, full cycle. This was not a light/gentle soak.

Keep in mind georgeel, cold soaked his and it got no shrinking.

I would bet a coldwash/normal wash would keep this at purchased size, or far closer to it…..It's one-wash when purchased...

I'm having a hard time believing that actually, not that I doubt Snowy's measuring skills, but that's two sizes worth of shrinkage for p2p…

^hang on a minute

[MikeC]

It's very possible.  It's not always the fabric, the seams also start to pucker after a wash and dry and this also leads to some shrinkage.

i'm really liking this shirt . . .

Appreciate the honesty, and agree :).

FurattoHeddo, here you go. On remeasure making sure there was nothing hiding/loose it's measured at 20.35" (updating original now).
