      I'm a borderline perfect fit between a size (XL) and a size (L).
      I'm wondering how much they might possibly shrink in the (Chest) after they are washed.

      …With that in mind has anyone washed theirs and found any "shrinkage" through the (Chest) area?
      ...If Yes, approximately how much (...1/8 inch, ...1/4 inch, ...etc.) in the (Chest) area from their initial IH UK measurements when new?

        ^Unfortunately I can't answer your exact question, but shrinkage on these should be negletable. However, if you're in between the sizes, my tip is to size up. The thick fabric feels much better when you got a little extra room and also makes the shirt feel slimmer than the outside measurements suggest. If you have othewr IH shirts - what size are they?

        BTW, I really think I'll get me another one. Or the new UHF. Let's see what my bank account has to say on this.

                              Yes. Yes it does. I wore mine over my Strike Gold hoodie and an IH Henley the other night and felt impervious. Got a lot of compliments on my "jacket."

                              Think it, be it.
