IHTL-1301 - Waffle Knit Long Sleeved Crew Neck Thermal Top - BLK, GRY or WHT

For a point of comparison for anyone wondering I measured a worn and stretched size large (3ish days) at 23.25" p2p and when new and after a wash and tumble dry it's 20.5". These give a lot and still don't look sloppy. Definitely could size down if not for the sleeve and body length.

Thanks that is very usefull info (and a lot of stretch). And that confirms that I would be good with an M.

Industrial indigo over-dyeing is very aggressive and shrinks the fabric permanently.
All these Henley’s have size variations within the colour ways due to the nature of the material, but they also all stretch differently due to variations in what dye colours do the grey tends to be slightly larger and stretches more than the black and white versions I think the arm and body length look good. You could possibly go a size down, but I have these in M, L and XL and can use all for snug or relaxed fits.

Nice fit for sure @Heavy_blue

Thanks @Oaktavia in the outtie today

Trying to decide between black and grey (funds don't allow both). Anyone have both and prefer one vs the other? My go to used to be black everything but recently I have tried to look at oer colours. Thanks
-
@Kingsselvedge i have the grey and the indigo one, one thing to notice is that the grey one will stretch more then the black one. Overall I really love the grey one, suits with everything i have in my (ironheart) closet.

Thanks @Heavy_blue much appreciated and thanks for the additional stretch info. I picked up a few cheaper waffle jumpers in the past but it's a false economy as I am always lusting after IH quality. I can def see how the grey would be versatile but with the stretch will prob go black. I usually wear XL in IH shirts. I tried a L and it was a bit tight in the shoulders. I am an awkward shape #dadbod. Did you stick to your normal size or size down like others suggested? Conscious of the stretch. Thanks

@Kingsselvedge offcourse, you’re welcome
i grabbed my normal uhf size, the indigo dyed one is much slimmer so a size down would be to tight for me, the grey one definitely runs a tad bigger then the indigo version, but i just grabbed my normal size, offcourse you can size down but in mine opinion the tighter it fit the more it will stretch and i prefer a more relaxed fit instead of snug. But that’s just my 2 cents! Anyway, enjoy them! -
Thanks man

@Kingsselvedge no prob mate!

I received a new black and white yesterday and noticed some of my existing thermals we're shorter in sleeve and overall length by about 1.5 to 2 inches. I had been noticing they felt short, especially in recent wears.
Anyone with similar experience in shrinkage and getting them lengthened out again? Looks like the suggested method is soaking with conditioner in warm water for 30 minutes and gently stretching afterwards, so I'm going to give that a shot.

@Jbailla2 sounds like the stretchiness of the fabric that they have become longer etc. new ones will slighly do the same, especially the grey and the white ones. Black, blue en dyed version don’t seem to do that in the way the other ones does tho. Overall they all run a little different in size but that is also stated on the IH website in it’s description. I think you can soak then and gently stretch them a little.

@HalfPastNever they get soft pretty quick as you get to wearing them and remarkably durable, I've still got my original that Giles gave me about 6 years ago. Wear it every winter.
