      @Manticore - Yeah they stretched pretty quickly with wear, and tighten back up whenever I wash it. I haven't thought about it since I got it though, so I guess there has been some permanent stretch as well 🙂 They were damn tight in the beginning though, and I'm no Popeye!

        Yeah, you'll have to be careful about sleeves, especially with knitwear.  A lot of IH shirts have those slim fitted forearms.  IIRC, it's because Haraki doesn't like getting a breeze blowing up his arms when he's riding his bike.  I understand the logic, but I have Popeye syndrome, so it's caused a few purchase fails for me.

          I love the slim fitting forearms but yeah I could see how they would be too much for some.

            Yep, right now they feel like I'm wearing extremely tight compression sleeves on each arm!

              And/or the fabric flapping….

                Is this the same fabric/weight as the IHTB-01? I ask because the one is described as Extra Heavy and the other Super Heavy, and while I understand these aren't scientific labels it implies a difference.

                                        Not many fit pics of this so thought I'd add one.

                                        Absolutely love this by the way, the weight is great as a winter Tee for layering. Sized down to a small and glad I did as it fits perfect.

                                          Sent my IHTL-1501 white to get dipped in indigo, the results are more than impressive IMO. Instead of worrying about keeping it white, I can now wear it hard all winter:
