@JamesMarg:

Now i'm just contemplating if its a good idea to have the first proper wear of my XHS's for an 8/9 hour shift at work….

How much do you enjoy your job?  Wear 'em with nothing tucked in and after couple of hours you can get sent home as some mystery "rash" has developed around your middle - raised welts of red flesh…!

Now that seems like a plan!
My brother saw these, and the first thing he said was, 'Fuck….... those are intense.' hahahaa

Let's not be quote button happy

What do you think? I´m not sure about the fit.

[Max Power]

Looks fine to me. Why are you worried?

[TresUnCool]

That's how mine fits. I wouldn't want to go any smaller. It'll tighten up once it hits water, too.

[Max Power]

Definitely not smaller - the shoulders are on point, sleeves too.

^Chuck D, fishing for compliments? You just convinced me to cop the green colorway, too!

I know, the shoulders and arms are perfect, but it could be a tad more fitted on the body. I like slimmer fits.

I see what you mean, but I do like the fit and sizing down would likely not work….

[gratefulmelon]

It'll tighten up with a wash and dry. Mine did. I didn't take pre or post measurements but it felt like it shrank a good bit.

Enough room to eat a lot or to wear a henley or something
Great shirt for the colder days, so comfy

[summ3rhays]

Hey Chuck. I think the fit looks spot on. Hope you are as happy with the green as I am.

I do have a rather serious face. Must be the lighting as I'm rarely serious. :|

[JamesMarg]

How much shrink do we think this has?
As in, if mine fits perfectly now, will it be too tight after a wash?

Thanks!

[GingerMagician]

I washed my blue version the other day and got no appreciable shrinkage to speak of.  That would have been at 30 degrees though.

[JamesMarg]

Great,
so colder temperatures are recommended yeah?

[TresUnCool]

Absolutely.

[grandmasterben]

That does look good chuck, making me want the green real bad…

[jock1624]

I wash all my clothes inside out in cold water and hang dry ( if not a short
spell in the tumble dryer ). So far most shrinkage is minimal . That's my 100¥
experience .
