Comment: this shirt does not seem like it's made oversized (as opposed to the indigo version) if going by the size chart.
Question: how much do these really shrink in the experience of those who own this shirt? Specifically, shoulder dimensions…
-
Cold washed once so far. I did not measure but didn't notice any significant shrinking yet. I think subsquent washes might shrink it further especially if on hot temps.

I need a sizeing advice on these, because I'm torn between XL and XXL.
I wear an XL in my IHSH-33, which had some serious shrinkage and now meassures 21,65" pit to pit, 25,59" in the sleeves and 29,53 in length (forgot to meassure shoulder to shoulder this morning).
The fit of my 33 is very nice and from the unwashed meassurements the 62blk in XXL is closer the the 33 then the 62blk XL.
33 XL 62blk XL 62blk XXL
Shoulder 19,0" 18,4" 19,3"
Length 30,8" 29,8" 30,4"
pit to pit 23,5" 22,6" 23,2"
waist 22,0" 21,0" 21,7"
opening 23,3" 22,2" 22,9"
Arm length 26,7" 26,6" 27,2"I'm uncertain how much shrinkage I have to expect with regular washing the shirt, because ending up with a shirt that is to big and looks like a potato sack on me is equaly unattractive then being stuck with one that's to small.
Any opinions / advice?

Measurements aside…...I sized up to a lrg. from my usual med....the med fit perfect but I knew it would compact over time and get fussy. I'll be able to wash and dry the lrg with impunity.

@Cole I'm a smallish Medium and usually an S in most of the IH westerns that fit me (long enough sleeves)
I went with M on this one - the fit is good as is right out of the box with room to shrink, maybe a half a size if I do hot washes. It will get even better after shrinking but even it didn't, it's good enough for me buy/keep the shirt (and I'm quite fussy about my shirt fits)
You seem in a similar situation sizing-wise.. I'd recommend the XXL and would expect that it'll fit you well as is with enough room to get the shrinking out -
Hmm…thanks @Haddtoo 555 and @zatenm . I would give the xxl a shot, but right now the very long sleves on the xxl make me hesitate. If it will only shrink 1 to 1,5 cm these would still be to long after a 40° wash and 30 min in the dryer.
Grrr..why has it to be so complicated?
