        Could you please define what "slight" shrinkage is?  More than a centimeter?  Are these one-washed?

          I documented my experiences with the ´85. Same denim. Here's the post:

          Long story short shrinks about half a size with a 60C low rpm wash.

            Thanks for that.  The measurements for the medium are perfect as listed.  Based upon you experience, I assume that I won't get more than a centimeter of shrinkage if I wash it cold.

              I'd say that's a safe assumption, but I was looking for shrinkage and got it so I can't confirm it.

                    Brown duck would be awesome.  The 76/99 were 17oz., so the duck seems reasonable being the same weight…

                              In the superblack western and workshirt threads I've found the following info regarding shrinkage.  It would be great if some people who bought this shirt could contribute a few more data points.

                              Western (IHSH-85) washed at 60deg
                              P2P: -0.55in
                              Shoulders: -0.75in
                              Length:-1.26in
                              Arm: -0.87in

                              Workshirt (IHSH-95) washed at 30deg
                              P2P: -0.2in
                              Shoulders: -0.6in
                              Length: -0.5in
                              Arm: -1.0in

                                In light of the fact that I don't want any shrinkage,I've been washing in cold water and air drying. If there's any shrinkage it's negligible.

                                  Given the potential shrinkage I'm debating my usual XXL or going to the XXXL to accommodate the shoulder width. Given that these were made "slightly oversize" I was hoping the XXL would have extra room in the shoulders since all the other measurements look good.

                                  @neph93 , based on your experience with the 85 did it stretch back out at all? I'm thinking the XXXL may be my only option to fit the shoulders with a little room so I can try to shrink down all the other dimensions.

                                    I didn't really look for stretch but neither have I noticed any so I'm going to say no. I wore mine the other day after it's fifth or sixth wash and was thinking how it fits like a regular XL now, so there's a chance it shrinks incrementally after the initial wash. Some shirts do this. I should measure it again…

                                    If you want my tuppence, decide how you want to wear this and buy accordingly. BIG CPO's are really versatile, so if you want to wear it as a shacket, over layers, etc.  go big. If you're getting it as a shirt stick to XXL.

                                        Well lucky me… @Lindsey found an XXL with shoulders just over 20" so it's all good in da hood.
