    Unfortunately, even the long 6.5oz. IH shirts are pretty short. I sized up, and still only wear them in the summer when it’s my only layer. Can’t tuck them in reliably at all. The 11 oz. are fantastic, and the length is long enough for me.

      I have two of the heavyweight merz Henley's that are 14oz, and while I could have probably sized down one since the cut isn't particularly trim, I live the fabric.  Even at 5'6" I'd say the length of a t shirt is hard to nail

        I feel like you could shrink one of the heavy MbS down like a full size if you wanted. I really enjoy the roomy fit. I hit it with a somewhat warm wash to size it down a little though.

        Think it, be it.

          I've found their sizing to be a little weird sometimes — I got one henley in XL that was perfect (it fit more like an L), then a couple in XL that were really wide but tightened up enough when I dried them. Also have an L that's almost too tight, so who knows… those two sizes really seem to cover a lot of range, or they have for me at least. FWIW all the same fabric.

            This is great info. I feel like the random rants has kind of gone off the rails though haha

              That’s the beauty of random rants.  It’s the only thread that technically can’t go off the rails.

                Hahaha I was thinking the same thing, but now it's sorta steering back into a rant about the difficulties of t-shirt sizing. Self-correcting!

                  Yup so true. That’s what bugs me about the 3sixteen! It took me forever to find that long version. It fit great and now im sort of starting the whole process over again

                    I agree that MbS sizing is a bit all over the map.  While I love their heavier fabrics they could use some serious improvement getting some more consistency in their fit.  I know there's a bit of Wabi Sabi in their narrative and the use of loopwheel machines, but I'd love to know what I'm gonna get when I order.  Damn you, IHUK for spoiling me !  😉 😎

                      Dude, for real. So often I wanna call up a company and be like "hey can you tell me the exact measurements of the pair you're sending me?" but I know they'd probably just laugh at me.

                      Also IH's return policy is a lot easier/more resonable for international orders. The XLs I got from MBS were from Germany — had they been from a US retailer I probably would've returned em. I'll be going domestic in the future to account for size weirdness.

                                      LOL @Filthy I think that's one of the funniest movies I've ever seen.

                                      Spoilers ahead, but if you haven't seen Dumb & Dumber that's kind of on you 😃

                                      The studio wanted the final scene to pan out differently, with Harry and Lloyd figuring out they should get on the bus and doing so. The Farrelly Brothers (and I think Jim Carrey) were quite adamant and would not budge on the original ending. They were correct. Were it left to the studio, this and several other key things about the movie would have been wrong (they didn't want Jeff Daniels, for instance), and the movie would have flopped.

                                      Think it, be it.
