      If in doubt, size up. My XL shrank a good amount and I feel like an L (that I could have worn new as well) wouldn't have fitted me anymore. The heavy fabric makes it feel tighter on top.

          Like Max and SF said, I would size up if your between sizes. I have an XL in the three colours, and they all shrunk a reasonable amount after a hot wash.

            Thank you

            I see that there are a lot of you with XL. How tall are you guys? I've seen the MaxPower fit pics, which seem like a nice fit. Are these before or after the wash?

                I'm 1,87 m (=6'2" I think). The black one is unwashed, the green one in my latest post has been washed.

                My green XL fits perfect after the 60°C wash. The arms and chest shrank just the right amount.

                            I think if you wash it gently by hand or cold without much spin you'll be fine. 60°C was chosen with the intention to shrink it.

                              I have the 72s, 87, and 107s and have found Max Power's last comment to be completely accurate.  If you cold wash and hang dry, you will see minimal shrinkage.  If you wash your UHFs in warmer water, and/or heat dry, they will shrink a bit.

                                Agree with Max Power and seanocono. Did not size up on mine and it fits even better after a 30C wash. Plus the material looks like it can be stretched back by hand if needed. As long as you don't go for super hot washes, I wouldn't worry @TrickHell

                                  10 times 30 degrees wool cycle = no noticeable shrinkage

                                    Just washed mine in cold water,  medium spin cycle and air dry. Very slight shrinkage. I wouldn't sweat it.
