      ^yes, fit for me (large) is close to that of last years UHF westerns with a tag longer length in the arms.

      I'd be hard pressed to choose a fav color at this point. Initially: Charcoal had me, but my goto fall shell is black and other colorways work better for layering. I've been rocking the green over the last three/four days so ++voted for now?

        I figured that would be the case, to hard to pick a fave.  I'm contemplating picking up another but cant decide on charcoal or grey and there's only one left in each in my size.

        Thanks

          My olive is my fave IH shirt since my wabash 62 in that fit, fabric and hardware are all in perfect harmony. Liked it so much that I ordered the grey when the restock came. It's stuck in customs right now but should be with me by the weekend.

          I ordered an XL in olive and it's perfect, but I went for the XXL in grey as the measurements came up a little smaller. @Al6ert  did you notice much size variation between your three?

            yeah I noticed that my olive was held up in customs longer than any other IH order I've placed.  It took almost a week to get to me which was odd.  I usually get my IH orders in 3 days.

            I'm curious to see your thoughts on the grey one @neph93.  I went my usual XL on the olive as well and I didn't know there was much variance is sizing so thank for that heads up.

              Props on getting all three!  Wish I could get the charcoal.  I really think these are standouts, even among all the great IH shirts.  I think I would call this top five (with 12, 20, 31mk1, and 55?).  This is a gem. Do yourself a favor, buy one if you can.  I genuinely just want more people to have a shirt this nice.

                I didn't notice any difference in sizing and I (initially) tried on all three (tagged: larges) back-to-back-to-back. That being said, I haven't bothered to put a tape measure to 'em.

                  The olive XL fit me well, but could not be shorter or smaller in the chest and the grey came up a little smaller both ways. The XXL is the same length as my olive XL but a little wider in the body. We'll see how it goes.

                    The grey came and it's lovely. But the XXL was too big; a little long in the arm and too wide. I debated sending it back and exchanging it for the XL but impatience and the fact that the XL grey had measurements a little off the sizing chart caused me to give it a wash and check shrinkage. 40C and 800rpm, no soap. It's drying now… update tomorrow but I can say for sure that it's not a disaster.

                      @neph93 thanks for the input on the grey.  Do you still happen to have the measurements for the grey XL that you can PM me?

                        Sure thing, @manufc10 PM incoming…

                        Otherwise I can report two things after the wash:
                        1. I got modest shrinkage from the 40C/800rpm wool program machine wash. It now fits well. I didn't measure before and after but I'd estimate that I lost 2cm in length and arm length and a little less in the width.

                        2. The hand of the fabric has not suffered from the wash. If a anything, it's softer.

                          so which color do you like better?  Olive or the Grey?  I still can't decide if I want to get the grey or charcoal.

                            I have been wearing the grey for the past few days.  Lots of compliments.  The color has a lot of depth to it.  I love it as an overshirt or on its own.

                              I'm loving them both. The grey is absolutely special. A perfect mid grey, not too dark, not too light. The olive seems like the best colour for the fabric and cut of the shirt.  The charcoal is lovely too I'm sure, but I need another dark shirt like a hole in the head.

                                ugghhh…I swear I'm about to buy both the grey and charcoal and if you guys make me do it I'm cancelling my membership and blocking this website forever.  I absolutely love my olive one (gets compliments as well...as does quite a bit of my IH gear who am I kidding) and there is only one left in each color in my size so I'm feeling a bit rushed to make a decision here.

                                thanks for the input @neph93 and @browniemcghee

                                  My pleasure. If I was you I'd look at your wardrobe and decide based on which one you provides you with something different, colour-wise.
