Thank you a lot! they're called yellow boletus, if my translator is right.

My XXL 72 is no longer for sale, winter is coming as we say in the frozen North.

You took an "embarrassing photo" in it didn't you?

[Megatron1505]

Not yet…..

[ohighyo]

Glad you're keeping it mega! Glad I didn't pull the trigger when I saw it on eBay. You don't want to give that awesomeness up, sell a kidney or something. Still looking for a L/XL in green. Anybody????????

[Megatron1505]

I looked at who makes a better heavyweight flannel shirt…..answer came back as no-one.

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?

[mjn221]

Is the (RED) to be re-stocked in size (L) or (XL)?

[zhivago]

Max, great shots man, looks like a lot of fun was had!

@mjn221:

Yes, later this week/early next….

Thanks, Z! I do wear this shirt almost everyday now, it's so damn comfy. And then there's something else I could say regarding my favorite IH shirt ever. But you would call me crazy (even if it's in a good way).

D97x7 measured his size XL after a couple of washes and the chest was 22.5".

Say what you will about the 06, 20 or the 72, IMO the 72 is the most wearable fabric of the three.

[madmonday]

never touched a 72, send yours my way zee.

the 06 is a nice mid weight shirt and the 20 is the heaviest shirt i have ever placed on my back.

[zhivago]

done

Yep, just remeasured, 22.5"!

Thanks (…for the reply)!

At (22.5") it's almost a full inch of "Shrink" off the (23.4") listed size for the (XL).

Can you also tell me how was it (WASHED: Cold vs. Hot) and (DRIED: Hung-Dry vs. Dryer on high heat)?

Was just wondering if your intention was to "Shrink" it a bit on purpose.
(...Or, if that's about the average amount of "Shrink" to be expected.)
