        Thank you!

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

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

                      @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?

                          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?

                              @xtcclassic I would say 1.5" at least

                                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.

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

                                      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.......

                                        Washed my 127 on 60C, put it in the dryer, and just got a little bit shrinkage. Washed my 107 on 40C, nothing bad happened.

                                          @Giles yeah must be my washing machine, thank you for the insanely amazing customer service but luckily I'm ok.

                                          I had my gf pull on the bottoms of my shirts while I was wearing them for awhile last night, they stretched right back out to pre wash length, will do again today just to make sure they stay that way, was quite a scare last night.

                                            @Akuma no uta , u shouldn't live in fear of the washing machine & dryer trade/give away all your goods for larger sizes.

                                            if it doesn't fit, you must acquit
