Thank you!

I nearly went for the green, but happy I went for the black/grey.

Pulling mine out tomorrow for an Autumn walk through the 'shire with my wife to celebrate our wedding anniversary.

Small restock of these arrived today - only size we have nothing is XXL

[Akuma no uta]

Washed mine with cold water and they shrunk a lot in the length. Too short now

[spitfiredealer]

How cold was cold? Was planning on doing mine on a 30

[Akuma no uta]

My machine just says cold, warm, hot, I washed on cold and tumble dried low like the tag says. Really fucking bummed

[twism_23]

@zatenm thanks a lot!

[Akuma no uta]

@giles do you know if there's any way to stretch the length back out? Or do I just have to sell these and try to find XL's and hope they shrink to a large?

[Shoreman]

Hot iron should do the trick.

[Akuma no uta]

I had my gf yank on them while I was wearing them and that helped a bit.

Be careful with these guys. Hand wash only!

I imagine the dryer was the culprit. Looks like I'll be hang-drying my 101MC. How much length did you lose?

[Akuma no uta]

@xtcclassic I would say 1.5" at least

[manufc10]

That's a bummer @Akuma no uta .  I would say that the dryer was the culprit too.  I think if you cold was it again or just soak it cold water and let it hang or lay it flat to dry that you will get some length back.

I've noticed you can get quite a bit of shrink out of the UHF's.  Last year when I got my black 107 I got nearly a full size worth of shrink from a warm wash/warm machine dry.  This was intentional though as the XXL that I bought was a bit too big on me out of the bag and now if fits great.

Buy oversized, wash and dry hot, have a happy life.

That sucks. 1,5" from a cold wash is a lot of shrinkage..

[Giles]

In all the tests we have done on multiple UHF's, I have never seen that level of shrinkage.  It can't be a single rogue shirt.  So it is either a rogue batch of fabric (in which case we will see other 127's in the same colour doing the same thing) or a rogue washing/drying machine.

Personally, I think your washing machine or dryer is at fault.  Having said that, we don't want you to be unhappy with your shirt so please get in touch and we will organise a pick up and credit note/exchange.

In point of fact we had another US based customer have a similar issue with a pair of 707's last night.  I have washed the living shit out of my pair (I do that so I know what is likely to happen in worst case) and I can't even get 1" in waist and inseam.  But, he managed to get 2" in the waist and 2" in the inseam.  Again it has to be the washing machine…...

We know US washing machines are bastards.  Read last para here.......
