Killing it!!

[mahlon321]

Hey thanks a lot taa, I hope you find one!! it's a killer coat!

Finn, I agree! I couldn't be happier with the fit, I was hoping it wouldn't be a huge square wabash box with sleeves, and it isn't!  really glad I went for it.

Scotty it was actually your fit pics that pushed me over the edge, so cheers to you

So I think my 531 could do with a wash and I was wondering whether anyone had an experience of the sort of shrinkage I can expect.

The reason I ask is that I could probably do with a little bit, no more than half a size - especially on the sleeve length.

Thoughts?

[Giles]

Wash warm, you should be fine.  Wash hot, you could get half a size….

[GingerMagician]

Perfect, thanks G
