      Different fabrics behave differently, so they sew up differently.  Indeed different batches of fabric can behave differently from each other - in the extreme, different parts of the same roll can behave differently.  We try and ensure consistency (unless we are deliberately altering the cut), but sometimes we get caught out.  I we move shirt production from one factory to another, we will actually resample existing shirts as the way a shirt sews up in one factory can be different from another. We are dealing with organic stuff, it just is not consistent.  I'm always an L or XL.  When I used to wear other brands, I had the similar issues, so it's not unique to IH…  I am sure with the larger brands who weave more fabric at once, who sew up in more automated factories in massive batches, get mire consistency, but I bet there's still some variance....

        Correct me if I'm
        Wrong, but I would guess chambrays and other solid color shirts are a bit easier to match sizing than plaids and stiles due to pattern matching.

            Certainly easier to make and with less fabric waste, but not the reason that sizes differ…..

                  Bugger!  The size L I ordered is a bit too small for me. If it shrinks a tiny bit I'm screwed.
                  I'll have to return it for a XL I'm afraid.

                    Cheers @Finkster and the best thing was, UPS turned up 10 minutes after the current Mrs Nomad left for work  😉
                    Great shirt, perfect weight IMHO, the collar sits nicely and doesn't have a tendency to curl up like a UHF, definitely comes up slightly slimmer.

                      I put it a little differently - "The current lucky Mrs Padmore"….

                          G, thanks for the explanation I figured it was something like that but I wanted to hear it from you. Lol. Even with the slimmer cut the shirt is awesome. I just can't layer underneath it. I was hoping that all the time in the gym was really paying off, but sadly it'd just a slimmer cut!  🙂

                            I don't really see the problem, I was L / XL in all IH Shirts so far and would fit in XL here as well. And with the given exact measurements it's super easy to pick the correct size. I guess most of the guys here could describe their perfect Shirt/Tee/Jeans/Jacket measurements from their memory.

                            > I don't care what people say.. The Max Power way is the right way…
