    Similar to others about the slightly smaller measurements on this shirt, I was somewhat hesitant about getting it. I ended up purchasing, then canceling due to the smaller measurements but bc I really wanted it to work, measured every UHF in the closet & excitedly found that the posted measurements of the actual shirt would fit. Then purchased it for the final time  😃 Completely happy that it worked out. This may be my fave UHF and the only one that drew my attention in this years collection. Never would of thought that purple and red can go together quite well. IH nailed it!

    Thanks to Giles for inadvertently letting it be known that this one was made in ladies sizes and the crew for dealing with my indecisiveness  😛

          @ARoc:

          Looking great man! I sent back my XL to selfedge, XXL on the way! Any issue with the sleeve length, Baba-san?

          sorry just seen this… sleeve length was perfect for me... no different from my usual XL in the flannels

                    Thank you @Baba-san you rock the purple rain!!! It’s a shirt that’s hard to put away…

                    Appreciate it @Richard I must say, it was a bit nerve wracking seeing your first fit and wondering if you’ll size up in time before the size you needed sold out! Glad everything worked out for you looks like you’ve been enjoying this shirt  🙂

                      This is my first UHF & I didnt know how to factor laundering into sizing. Thought Id share pre & post wash measurements.

                      Machine washed (cold, no spin) & line dried:

                      New/After - Tag XXXL
                      Shoulders: 19.8/19.8
                      Length:  30.5/30.0
                      Chest/P2P: 23.8/23.0
                      Waist:  23.1/22.7
                      Opening:  23.2/22.75
                      Sleeve: 27.9/27.5

                      Im glad I didnt go with a warm wash or machine dry because the amount of shrink was substantial.  Sizing up was the right call as the fit is perfect now.  Hopefully there won't be anymore shrink moving forward.

                        Keep on washing in the same way and there will be no more shrinkage. Happy it worked out for you.

                          Am washing mine soon…... Thanks. I guess a warm 30c wash would shrink substantially more?

                            Be aware that US washing machines often only have "cold wash" and "warm wash" settings. 30C on European wahing machines is the same as a US cold wash. Warm wash is 50-60C. If you wash on 30C with low spin and air dry you will see only a little shrinkage, if any. A 60C wash or a machine dry will give you meaningful shrinkage.

                            If you are concerned about shrinkage then stretching the shirt at the seams and placket, as well as across the shoulders, while the shirt is still wet, will mitigate most of any shrinkage that may occur with a 30C wash.

                                Got myself a 3xl from Self Edge. Didn't know about these as I don't keep up with IH like I used to. First item I bought in…probably a year....beautiful piece!
