IHSH-101-BB - Ultra Heavy Flannel Blue/Black Buffalo Check Western Shirt

[Cole]

Got mine in size L today.

Arm length is perfect but the meassurements fooled me into thinking it would be only a tiny bit smaller then the XL 101tg, but it certainly feels a lot tighter. Got to make up my mind if I excange it for an XL or not.  :-\

So arms on a Large are what a XL used to be?

[Cole]

Even a bit more, which is good because they used to be more on the short side on some of the more new UHFs.

At least for me with my ape arms.

OK, I need opinions if I should size up to XL or not (as long as there is still one XL left).

[spitfiredealer]

Looks good but we all know how the UHF's behave in the wash.

I think you nailed it. One size up and the sleeves/body will be too long. If you like a trim fit, keep it. Just avoid hot washing it.

Really happy with this one. Prolly the best fit out of the bag from and IH shirt that I've owned.

I typically go with a XXXL for the best body/arm length but then have a baggy-ier fit for the rest of the shirt With these a XXL is perfect and now the chest and shoulders are a better fit.

I am thinking I will have to cop the red, green, and purple if they have same fit…my bank account hates me but I getting excited for fall already!

Sorry for the spotty angles and lighting, but I wanted to throw these up before we left town for the weekend.

I think it will be too short after washing Cole

Wash it gently and you´ll be fine. If you want to give em hell, size up and give em HELL

[Cole]

I allways wash my UHFs on 30 degrees C with only 600 RPM spinning at the end. Not exactly giving 'em Hell.

So far I had only minimal shrinkage in my shirts, if any.

This shirt is excellent. Colorway is spot on (and perfect for LA). Anyone concerned about the "sleeve issue" shouldn't be; they're a touch longer than the 127 but nothing you'd notice. Lifetime of regular wear coming for this one. Kind of can't believe these aren't sold out already.

Iron Heart keeping the hits coming!

(Edit: don't post much but I'll add that I'm usually a L in UHFs and sized up to XL on this one; glad I did)

@cole I would suggest sizing up. Body looks short and it will shrink a bit over time. The shoulders look a bit tight as well.

Received my xl today. Sleeves were noticeably longer on me compared to my 127. I did a warm wash and it snugged up enough to where it feels right. Measured at 26.5 inches post wash.

[Cole]

Define warm wash. 40 degree Celsius?

Sorry, I don't know the exact temperature. I used the warm/cold option on my washer and tumble dried with low heat.

[Dstauffer]

Anybody done a cold soak yet?
I ordered the XXL and it fits great except I could use a little length in the back. I read in the 127 UHF thread about someone cold soaking and hang drying and getting an extra .25" in body length.

Unfortunately I have nothing to size up to as the XXXL are just a hair longer than XXL.

Any thoughts? Perhaps the length is fine and I'm over thinking it.

Pardon the saggy backside of my 634XHS, I am blessed with a pancake butt

and of course my images are upside down.

A cold soak will do no much change, if any. I had to wash my 101 TG twice at 60-70 degrees to shrink it significantly. That said, I think the length is totally fine. The arms could rather use some shrinkage IMO.
