cool ensemble man. Fit is good. Nixon chunk is also good.

Sleeve close up would be nice also…

Looking good brotha! Can't wait to grab my XL (Non-Printed) Black from G in a few weeks!!!

great fit Dchill, i'm 6'1 at 165, and you're kinda making me wish i got an M.
but i'll see when my L gets here.

Out of interest, Dchill - if you were to bulk up loads do you think this would this have a deleterious effect on the tatoos aesthetics?

[Dchill]

If I'm understanding you correctly, that if I were to bulk up would my ink "stretch".  For the most part no they wouldn't just because they cover all of my arm not just one little section.  Even then I'd have to pack on at least 40 or 50lbs just to see the slightest change in the actual tattoo.

[hectic]

Cool, was just curious (I have no experience of tatoos, but I like the artistry).

That is a great fit on the shirt Dchill, love the artwork too!

[Dchill]

Thanks Mich, I highly recommend it.

Just checked my iPhone app JuneCloud which I use to track packages. Looks like my IHSH-25 is in customs in NY right now. Hopefully I will be wearing it come Tuesday…

My package has been released from customs and I am hoping that it will be here by Wednesday Evening at the latest… Fingers Crossed

You happy with your size choice?  I thought they ran large…

[LandoCal126 0]

Well considering it is a Mechanics Shirt, they are supposed to run slightly larger and less fitted. I tried on both the L and XL at SE before I made my final decision. It seems to me that folks on forums these days tend to think that everything has to be, or is supposed to be fitted. I disagree completely! Not directing this at you Daveo. I mean, imagine some little skinny dude in his Tight denim and fitted mechanics shirt….. WHACK!

[daveo]

Well I don't get the luxury of trying on before I buy, so the internet is all I can use for sizing.

The XL looks good to me, I will have to measure up one of my other shirts when I get home today.

I know I am lucky to have that resource and typically, G gets his shirts in before SE so I tend to be in the same boat. Due to short funds as of late, I waited on this one which allowed me to try them on in person. I would say if you normally wear an XL (which you do), to go with an XL in these. Also, the slits on the side make it seem bigger than it is around the waist. I may sew mine both closed until I reach plumper days…

[Dchill]

Looks good Lando, don't sew the sides though.

[LandoCal126 0]

Thanks but why do you say that?

[Dchill]

Because the fit is good and like you said it is a mechanics shirt, plus the slits are just a small detail that adds to the overall shape/look of the shirt.  Just my opinion…...
