      Thanks @Jett129
      The mirror pic is deceiving, it does look quite good in it. The reality is while the top part is nicely fitted, the mid and lower sections are too large. From the side, it almost looks like I'm wearing a bell, if that makes sense.
      If only it were as large in the top section as it is in the mid/bottom… I could have justify it as a layering piece.
      As is, I can only wear a T underneath with that flaring effect in the lower half, which is not a fit I can be happy with..

      @HPPI I tried that twice before and ruined 2 good IH western shirts. Maybe I had 2 bad tailors in a row but the 2x negative experience has put me off western alterations for good..

        @zatenm I assume a small would be a bit too tight in the chest for you then?  The mirror pic doesn't look terribly large, but it sounds like its deceiving. I'm sure the bell issue would go away sizing down.

          Too small indeed @BloodnThunder
          It's the chest that kills it for me….

                looks perfect @Peterpiper - how did you size?

                The XL (olive) will give me about the same size shacket as my 141, but I can't decide if this will look better as a slimmer shirt ( and drop to a L) or slightly oversized and layered and hotwash/dry (XXL) since the XL is sold out

                decisions, decisions…  Ive been wearing my 141 everyday and clients are already commenting on my "Canadian Tuxedo" so need to add some variety to the mix haha

                  Im thinking oversized, like a washed-out olive m-65 in the long run…..

                        Ok - I'll email the crew and see if a stray XXL measures small

                          @Appfaff I went with my usual Large. I have a 76 which I use as a shacket when I need it. I want this one as a shirt. Fit is perfect imo, although a little tighter across the chest than some of my other Larges. Not a problem though..

                              I had to snag that medium. Temptation was too great!

                                Can feel this @sabergirl . This was the only shirt I was waiting for this season.
                                But the measurements didn´t play into my hands  >:(.

                                Cotton Swedish Serge evolved great on my 715 Camp Shorts this summer!

                                  Such a great shirt.  Second day of wear in the pic here.  L was a perfect fit for me (per usual) and I am getting compliments galore.

                                  Can see this one fading in nicely.

                                  Thanks Iron Heart!

                                            Got mine yesterday. To tired after driving a whole day to take pics. Will do on Sunday. I love this shirt. But I'd love to know a little bit more about what "serge" is. It's like chino denim hybrid amazingness.
