      Had to return my XL to get me XXL…The Xl measured the same as my shrunken down SH72, so I thought it would be safer to size up and shrink it down (which I'm currently doing). It's clear today I'm lacking a good photographer.

          All UHF's are Aspero cotton.  We lost contact with the guy who wove them for us for a while, Haraki chased him down at another mill after I begged.  So the early version are woven on a different loom in a different mill, but using the same Yarn composition….

            @Max Power that makes me nervous about the sizing. How much should these shrink? I have never owned an iron heart shirt and have not yet been home to try it on. The girlfriend says it's about a half inch bigger in all lengths than a favorite flannel of mine. I really hope I don't have to return mine. Getting an XL will be a challenge.

              My 72 shrunk about 0,5" in the Arms and shoulder, maybe a bit more. I Expect the Same here. But you just so cold washes or wash by hand it will be ok. The extra 0,5" are probably necessary because of the Heavy fabric.

              Edit: the 101TG seems also to have shrunken around 0,5" in most dimensions.

                Post wash. I think I'll need another hot wash, but we're getting there. The shoulders are perfect and would have been to small on XL in the long run

                  How hot did you wash them? 60 degrees?

                      Looks like I'm doomed to buy one of these 😃 I was beaten to the punch by The Recall and I managed to resist The Second Coming through sheer power of will. But I fear The Resurrection is going to be impossible to ignore.

                            No, 40. There will be more shrinkage at 60 degrees.

                              Finally got to try my shirt on. (I was out of town, but it arrived last Monday). It fits perfect right now, but I'm concerned about washing it. If I lose any length in the body or arms, it may be unwearable. Of course, there aren't any XL's remaining so I may be stuck with my decision or need to buy from Self Edge if they ever get it. Any thoughts?

                                Fits great.  I'd say anymore than 1/4" loss in the sleeves and they'd be too short for my liking.  Same goes for length, spot on at the moment.  Personally wouldn't want to lose more than 1/2".  If you lose an inch in length I think it will still be very wearable as long as you're comfortable with more of a Flat Head type length.

                                  ^^ Wear as long as possible without washing then wash cold and all should be fine.

                                    I've done exactly what 4c said with my ultra heavies and also got very minimal shrinkage - quick cycle cold wash, put it on wet and move around a bit to shape it, and put it on a hanger/air dry.

                                      Yeah, it seems westerns have been coming up just a little smaller, judging by forum consensus. It's perfect for me 🙂

                                      Your fit is great. Like the guys say, no shrinkage with a 30/40 wash with low/no spin cycle. Also, no tumble dry. If in doubt, hand wash in lukewarm water and you'll be fine!

                                          Honestly, thank you whoever just bought that XL.
                                          Thank you.

                                          And Cadence, I don't think you'll be happy with that Large in the long run.

                                            @Shoreman I pretty much agree. So… You're welcome that I snatched up the XL. Sorry to anyone else who was praying for it. I just emailed in this morning for an exchange once I saw what @Winchy wrote. Also, I talked to Matt who was a very nice guy.
