      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.

                        I'm not sure I'm sorry having been sucked into owning two myself @manufc10 😃

                        I really am loving the small but enthusiastic club of 163 owners 😃 It seems that once you own one you have to have more. It really is a unique shirt. I never worn a shirt so often after buying as my olive. My vests are getting upset with the neglect.

                        I'm going to get a pic of the grey up soon as I've tried it on so many times I'm going "fit-blind", need someone to confirm it's a keeper.

                          It really is a unique shirt @neph93, I love them.  The only reason I decided on the charcoal over the grey was because the measurements on the charcoal looked a little better.

                          Looking forward to your pics.  🙂

                                        You'll not be disapointed, even better in person, you can see why other owners hold it amongst their best IH shirts!

                                        Awesome cut, colar, fabric and buttons–I'm seriously debating completeing the 163 trifecta...

                                          I'm seriously debating the olive also but waiting to try the fit of the grey first before deciding.

                                          @neph93: when you mentioned that the sizing is different is that from asking the IH to take measurements for you? I ask because there is only one size table shown.

                                            I bought the olive in XL on release and only noted later that "Giles wears XL". I tend to take one size up from G. As it turned out the olive fit perfectly, but couldn't have been any smaller, as I would have ended up with the dreaded button pull over the chest. When I ordered the grey I had it measured by Lindsay and it came up marginally smaller in width than the olive, but the same length in body and arm. So I sized up and hot washed the grey. Worked out well.

                                            Generally speaking there are often small variations between all shirts. I think IHUK only publish different sizing tables when the differences are marked in one or more dimension. The difference here wasn't massive, just half an inch or so in the chest, width and opening. It's just that the olive was already marginal and half an inch here or there, would have made a difference for me as I cannot live with button pull over the chest.

                                            There have only ever been one or two sizes of each colour in stock at a time so it's impossible to say whether or not this was a one off or if all grey's were slightly slimmer. I suspect it was just an example of acceptable margins of error that show up when clothes are cut and sewn by real people.
