      Wash it Reuben. Mine(my tagged M sold) and my actual tagged L shrink a bit after a gentle wash at 40c. Arms & length the most.

      Or maybe a 40C wash first [emoji1]

          I do, I do, and your advice and English is perfect. It’s just that it took me half an hour to write one reply (because kids) and by the time I’d posted it you came in with some more advice [emoji1]

                  @neph93 , I wear mine first and then wash. I'm not looking for shrinkage, I wash in cold water, which isn't really all that cold, hang dry. I do it with this shirt, the black denim, and the tonal version.

                        I'm following the to pre-wash or not to pre-wash -discussion with baited breath - circumstances (available sizes and the way they fit) willing, I'm picking one up locally this week. :o

                        Ended up grabbing this in XL. Initial impressions: Can I get away with wearing this and only this as my shirt for the next 2-3 seasons, or would this be considered a social passé and something some might frown upon? Actually, I don't really care. 😎

                        Thanks @neph93 for being of big help trying to figure out the sizing; in the end I was able to confirm the fit before committing but your words proved true to the T. 😘

                        Edit: Say… is the jury still out on whether to pre-wash or not to pre-wash? 😶 The fit is good regardless but wouldn't want to compromise them combs down the line… I'm steering towards "wash later, in 30'C with minimal agitation". The shirt won't be subjected to much anything of note, I'm a law student so sick elbow fades coming up but little else. 😎

                          @Crit_Obs  glad I could be of service. Buying expensive gear online and finding it doesn’t fit sucks. It’s great that the forum exists in part so we can help each other avoid that.

                          I share your attitude regarding this shirt. I’d like to wear it everyday. Sadly I have about four other shirts and a ton of vests I feel the same about [emoji1]

                          I decided to give mine a wash. Given that lots of shrinkage wasn’t really a requirement I soaked it thoroughly in warm water then washed on 40C and the lowest possible spin (400rpm). I haven’t taken measurements but I’d estimate that there was a little shrinkage in length (half an inch in body and arms) and negligable shrinkage in the width (mostly in the shoulder). I’m wearing it today for the first time post wash and can try to take measurements this evening so I can be more precise.

                          I think that if you stick to your 30C plan you’ll be fine. For my part, I now know I can wash at 40C without risking more shrinkage.

                            …or I might go ahead and wash as well just to be sure. 😃 Post-wash measurements would be met with fanfares and excessive applauds!

                            Anyway, I'll go ahead and wear as-is for today. 😎
