    @neph93:

    @dinobarnesberlin:

    its strange to me that the super small guys, and the super large guys bought these so fast.
    I would think that the normal sizes would have gone first. Just shows how much I know.

    There are far less items available at each end of the scale, som they go quicker. It seems to me that two things have accentuates that, firstly as he says above, Giles has got more of the popular sizes (the ones in the middle), secondly these seem to have sewn up a little small. A lot of guys who take XL probably sized up to XXL.

    It remains to be seen whether L guys snap up all the XL’s. I’m an XL guy, but on the smaller side so I’m very tempted to pick up an XL now.

    That makes more sense now. I didn't catch the fact that there were fewer of them in those sizes.
    It might take a little longer but I have a feeling these will all be snapped up.
    I also take XL in all my shirts so far, but there are a couple where they fell in the middle size.
    Im thinking of measuring all of my shirts just to get a decent average to use for future sizing.
    I think this color scheme is absolutely beautiful. Santa are you listening?

      The colourway is beautiful. I would have grabbed one of these, but the measurements were too small for me. As it stands, I’m currently torn between nabbing the Top-Dyed Grey Kersey, or waiting for the soon-to-be-released Black Windowpane Check UHF [emoji41]

        "Working out how many of what to order is probably the most problematic part of this business."

        I think that anytime something is "objective" there must be a calculated risk.
        From what Ive checked out in my short time here, I would say you've been doing well 🙂

          @Flannel:

          Really surprised to see this is still readily available in most sizes. Some great colourways this year but, for me, this is the killer.

          Where are you? UK has sold out of quite a few sizes.

          Am a little surprised at how long the arm measurements are, am hoping it fits as there are no xxl left and the xxxl that should fit my chest measures at least an inch longer in the sleeves than my cpo jacket and cordura work shirt.

            @Alex_24 There's also a work shirt version coming if I'm not mistaken, it could have slightly larger measurements.

                  I always feel bad when a shirt I really want doesn’t come in at the size I need. Even more so when I fill in the form to show interest. I’m still debating now… if Self Edge get my size. But it’s just a half inch under.

                  Ohhhhhh that constitutional stitching!

                    I bought this today despite not getting the "no quibble exchange/refund".  I'd prefer that over the "no questions asked exchange/refund". /s

                    Now that I have a purple IH shirt and an M65, I will be back when the SR denim returns.

                      @joephoto, in my experience you can easily get a half size shrink from a hot wash, even without the dryer.  Just something to consider.

                        Beautiful shirt. Thoughts on fit, fellas? Large, but a little tight under the armpit, even though there seems to be some room there. My large IHSH 247 was a better fit from the get go, and the measurements are marginally smaller; P2P on this 21.5 compared to 21.7; shoulders 17.8 compared to 18. Will this stretch out? Shrink? Do I need XL? Thanks for your time.

                          I think it will relax after some wear …I would just say, wear it hard and wash it cold.
                          IMHO it looks good on you man. Nice fit

                            Looks good but looks a little tight over the shoulders, which will affect how it feels across the chest. It won’t stretch but will shrink on anything more than a very gentle 30C wash.

                            I would consider sizing up and then giving the XL a hot wash. You’ll end up with a shirt inbetween the L and XL measurements and that should be perfect for you.

                                  Now, neophyte that I am with regards to IH, I know the source of this advice means it has to be taken. Here’s hoping that there are XLs still in stock Monday. It’s quite the science buying things on here, isn’t it? Thanks to all.

                                    It is, I think, a marginal call, but it seems a wise one. Thanks.

                                      @Richard it can be complicated [emoji1]I just think that any shrinkage at all (which isn’t unlikely) and it will be too small to wear.

                                        Lol regarding the complication. But it’s a seriously lovely shirt, so any trouble is worth it. Have emailed IH. If the XL is still available, it will be the first ever XL item I’ve brought. I’m mostly a small…...... But these measurements are so precise, and margins so small.
