      So I’m not sure which size to buy. I wear a XXL in UHFs. The XL looks good in the chest but the sleeves seem kinda short. The XXL has 20” shoulders like my UHFs and longer sleeves. I’ve read on this thread that people size down and some size up. I was hoping to get some opinions please

        I size down on these.  Normally, I wear XL in UHF and denim shirts.  I wear L in these and the IHTL-1301.  For reference, I have longer than average arms and I don't find sizing down on either thermal style to be a problem.

        I suppose it depends what type of fit you are looking for.  In thermals, I prefer more of a fitted look versus loose.  Sizing down isn't a tight fit for me, but it isn't loose either.

        Last point, these do have a little give/stretch to them.  Not as much as the 1301, however there is some.

          If you’re planning to wear them over a tee then go XXL. If not then XL.

              Sizing charts have been updated, main changes are slightly shorter in the sleeve and body. Other dims are the same

                            Hey all. Can anyone comment on this fabric vs. The 1501 11oz fabric. I’m sure this one is thicker and warmer. I’m more concerned about thickness. I have a jacket I love but it’s pretty trim. it fits best with a t shirt or light to medium thermal.

                            I’d like to find a fairly thin (less than an UHF or even 9oz flannel) shirt that fits as a layer that is thin yet still warm.

                            Kinda odd question I suppose. Curious if one of these two options would be a good fit.

                            In the easy chair with my boots on, melted whiskey in my hand. Could'na been asleep for more than three hours...time to go to work again...

                              I find the 1700 to be denser and warmer, but not necessarily thicker in a way the takes up more space under another shirt.

                                Perfectly sensible question.

                                This really is more of a sweater than a henly. It is a tight-ish waffle knit and can easily be worn as a middle layer over a tee. It isn’t much heavier than the 1501 fabric but the waffle knit makes it a little bulkier. Also the cut is a little bulkier.

                                For your needs I would go IH-1501/IHT-1600 or better still IHTL-1213/IHTL-1301.

                                      The sizing chart has been updated on the original post for the IHTL-1700-Grey and Black. The size run is Small to XXL. There is no XS this time round.

                                      The IHTL-1700 black is smaller across the board but about .5-1" on the shoulders.

                                      The IHTL-1700 Grey is bigger than the last batch in the body, but the shoulders are similar, and the sleeves are similar to the previous run.

                                        Thanks Josh, that’s a big difference from what I looked at just last evening.

                                        It’s prompted me to buy! I wish the 1501’s had similar sizing.
