              Quinhan,

              Wanted to sport the rolled up sleeve look like you.  How in the world did you roll up your sleeves and wear them around elbows length?

              When I try, it's to the point where it cuts circulation and after an a couple hours I've got deep red marks on my arms.

              Rick Grimes wears a shirt like this in The Walking Dead season 3.

              There's nothing like this material, so thick, tough, and still crunchy after many washes.

                It can be a little difficult to do the roll up sometimes, but with all the cuff and sleeve snaps undone I can usually manage it.  Only thing I can think of is that maybe your forearms are proportionally bigger than mine?

                  It could be.  It is one of those frustrating situations, Haraki only knows it as Westpoint and I can't find out exactly what Westpoint is….

                  If I had to take a SWAG, I'd guess Cramerton twill. This was an old US Army cotton twill, and "West Point" is the US Army's military college.

                  Think it, be it.

                    More 56 love in the house!  When this khaki came up for a bargainous price in B&S, I just had to add it to the black I already own.  This shirt in an L is just the perfect size for me…

                          Okay, so I know that these are one-washed – and are expected to have minimal, if any, shrinkage -- but has anyone tried to shrink one down a tad?

                          I picked up two 82s (http://www.ironheart.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=4986.msg270887#msg270887) and they are ~.5 inch too big through the chest.  I am floored by this fabric, though, and don't want to send them back.  Pictures DO NOT do the Westpoint Cotton justice.  I can't believe these went on sale.  The only reason I can justify is sizing confusion because this fabric is sic!

                          Anyway, has anyone tried shrinking these down at all?  I'm thinking a hot wash may get me where I need to be, but I'm reluctant to throw them in the machine if it just isn't possible (warping graphics worries me, also).  Thank you in advance, my fellow IH fanatics.

                            I've had minimal shrinkage with mine but I generally don't hot wash.  MikeC might be able to chime in here as I think he got quite a bit of shrinkage with his.

                              Thank you, Q. I read through this entire thread and somehow missed MikeC's comment until you pointed it out.

                              Upon closer inspection, I have zero concerns about the graphics warping. I will probably try a hot wash on one when I get home from work tonight.

                              I'm pretty jealous of your trifecta pic in this thread now, too.

                                Yeah, I'm happy I grabbed these when I could.  I should really put up a better fit pic of me in one of my 56's as the one I posed doesn't do the shirt justice.

                                      No, someone bought the last one them almost immediately cancelled the order, so there should be one back in stock….
