      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.

                      My wife has shirt envy. I have a Pendleton shirt that I bought off eBay but was not the listed size was too small. Vendor didn’t want it returned at their cost to the USA so my wife has it. Will now have to see how it measures up against these shirts to see if I can buy her one of these. She keeps complaining IH should make women’s garments.

                        ^yep I grabbed a XXXL soon as they dropped too.

                        welp.. apparently in my haste whilst ordering this shirt I selected DOUBLE-XL instead the TRIPLE-XL.  I was excited to receive my first UHF & then bummed to find out I goofed.
                        Silver lining… UHF is amazing to get a hold of for your first time & the colors on the 260 are lovely.  Thankfully SelfEdge has a few XXXL's in stock so I ordered ordered one from my trusty ol' US plug 😎

                          I have some bad news for you. They do. By no means every shirt, possibly only 10-20%, comes in a Ladies S and M. @Giles stocks only a very few, however it is sometimes possible to get others over from Japan.

                            Oh no! The drops of shirts you know are going to sell and you really want can be quite stressful. Glad it worked out.

                                Just to clear @dj while smaller sizes of the standard cuts often work, there is a special ladies cut in some shirts available from Japan, and occasionally from IHUK.

                                  My first IH shirt and I was so nervous about the sizing. The shoulder size in particular. But I did all the measurements I could and figured I’d go with blind faith that the L in the Purple Rain would work for me. Well, the shirt arrived yesterday and I could not have been more pleased. I feel like it’s a custom fit. The quality, the thickness, and the softness and all that detail. This is a stunning shirt. And did I mention the fit? I feel like I really got lucky with my first (and definitely not last) purchase! What do y’all think?

                                    And if you need to compare the sizing of that shirt, with any other, you can use the compare function.....

                                    Or you can just drop a note to the boys at shop@ironheart.co.uk, if you need specifics - like "largest shoulder in an L etc etc
