Whatever, they don't fit me now. The 'mid gen' shirts did.

@browniemcghee:

Just to be clear, the longer sleeves are not new gen.  They are old.  Go look at sizing charts or try on an 06, 12 or 20. There was one season with shorter sleeves.  It is not something new.

exactly ^^^.  I've been trying to point that out as well

@Giles -Austin at SENY had suggested soaking the sleeves in hot water to bring them up. Never did it. Is that what you had in mind?

[David K.K. Hansen]

New gen, mid gen, old gen… doesn't matter.  I find it beyond awesome that @Giles is researching options to make all of us spoiled brats happy. 

…but shorter sleeves would be nice

Yep

That number 3 is sick! I can't wait to see it all sewn up and pretty

[BloodnThunder]

Since it hasn't been said enough:  Red/Black/Cream is perfect.

Definitely happening.

@Giles:

I have an idea.  It may be possible to selectively shrink the arms (just the arms)….We will run a test in the next day or so.....

This will also cause some shrinkage in the horizontal direction.  I wonder how this will affect the transition between the sleeve and body.  I could imagine some pulling around the arm hole in the body.

[Seul]

It sounds like a potential nightmare, G… But we won't know unless you try of course...

[Giles]

We going to try with one of Paula's…...So it does not matter too much if we screw up.......:-)

Thank you!  Looking forward to bigger chest.

Anyone try shrinking the sleeves yet? I'm thinking about doing it tomorrow to my 126-PB.

Also, option 3 (red, black and cream) looks great. Work shirt in that would be awesome.

I've accidentally shrunk a UHF about a half an inch or so in a warm machine wash. If you were to only soak the sleeves and agitate them whilst soaking, you'd probably get the same.

Yeah I'm going to try it tomorrow.

Probably won't feel like holding a shirt very long with only the arms sitting in the tub, so I'll probably agitate real good then take it out.

[Filthy2123ozjunkie]

Do you have a bathtub? Get a plastic shopping bag, cut the bottom corners off, pull the sleeves through, and hang the bag by the handles to the faucet over the tub letting only the arms drape in the water.

[yinzer]

That's a pretty good idea actually, I will post results tomorrow evening once they dry.

[EastWest]

^ another one for an "explain that one to the other half" thread!

[yinzer]

The sleeves on my UHF did not seem to shrink too much. I guess I can try with warmer water and more agitation.

Could even throw it in the dryer for a bit I suppose. Figured I would leave some feedback on the subject.

I've on only had to shrink up two of my UHF's and the sleeves were never an issue with me on those particular ones so I never paid attention to how much shrinkage I got in the sleeves, if any.  Sorry, can't help you out on that one.
