      I had been looking at these but thought the measurements looked on the smaller side (figured they were intended to be fairly close fitting).

        I have sized up one or even two times on IH thermals, tees, and extra heavy jersey stuff. Bigger the better, IMO. When they’re base-layer tight, they make me feel/look like a sausage.

          I’ve taken the punt on an XL, judging by the experience of others I think it will work. Excited to get my hands on one, I’ll post pics when it arrives.

            As promised, albeit a bit late, this is a smallish L. My other L is defo bigger.

            This a a close fit. Like I said earlier, these get used as a base layer under vests, CPO’s, or when I’m wearing a type III all day.

            My XL’s are more like jumpers. I can wear them alone for a relaxed fit, or get a tee under them.

                  @neph93 appreciate it mate, this helps. You look great in it and I love the colour with the vest. You’re more hench than I am, so I’m confident an XL will give me my desired looser fit.

                  Also: those boots are glorious. Wesco British tan roughout leather?

                    I'll be happy when the cladding to my right, matches the cladding to the left of the pic. Otherwise, thank you  😉

                      @browniemcghee thank you too!

                      @jerkules they are the standard brown oil tanned with the rough out. I far prefer the feel of the beefy 7oz oil tanned leather and Wesco have made there standard brown more chestnut than chocolate now. The domain and horsehide leathers are beautiful, and the face of the oil tanned quite dull, but the combination of rough out and the thiccccc-ness of oil tanned is unbeatable imho.

                        Feel I got really lucky with this, the fit is exactly what I was hoping for - relaxed but not baggy. The fabric is totally special, never felt anything like it. When you compare the price of this to the Real McCoy’s Buco long sleeve (which I’ve admittedly not held but I’m sure would be very good), I actually think the IHTB-01’s are a bit of a bargain!
                        Thanks all above for sizing advice.

                          @jerkules I agree regarding value for money. This is the same material as the IHT-1600's are made from too. They are insanely solid and hard wearing.

                          I'm very happy the XL worked out for you.

                            Already thinking about my next colour way  😃 I’ll be sure to check out the 1600s, the olive looks tasty.

                                I wanted to commemorate the first time wearing this. Maybe for later so I can see when the first time I wore it was.

                                  @Giles, @Alex, do you guys have plans for restocks on these in the pipeline?  Specifically blue/black and grey/white (size Large).

                                  Thanks.
