You could also get a good tailor to make it shorter, but you'll probably lose the gusset and chainstitch run-off.

Hi @neph93
Is it possible to make it shrink 1/2-1 inch in the length?
Thanks in advance 

It's my belief that length is the dimension which contributes least to the overall fit.  An half inch less in the length is hardly going to be noticeable.  It's probably not worth risking skewing the other dimensions to achieve this.

[Lowlander]

I agree with @DrPat! Too short doesn't look good, but if the overall fit is good an inch more or less length doesn't make a great difference.

Apologies, somehow I missed this. @Lowlander  is quite right, there is no chance any kind of wash will get you an inch of shrinkage. A lot of unsanforised denim will only shrink an inch in a leg of 36”. This shirt is sanforised and less than 36 in the body.

You may with very harsh treatment get half an inch. However if you do a 90C wash then tumble dry you risk screwing with the fabric and other measurements.

Show us a fit pic, I also agree with @DrPat that as long as the chest and shoulders fit then length is a more flexible metric.

Thanks a lot @Lowlander, @DrPat and @neph93 
For Your great feedback The shirt fit very well in shoulders and chest I won’t give it a harsh treatment in the washing machine for that 1/2 inch in length!
I will post a fit pic soon

Giles size, please?

[Giles]

I'm out of the country, but on the basis that @Alex is an XL, I would be L or XL depending on what I intended to layer it with (which in my case would mean an L as I don't normally bother with much other than a T)

Hey I’m trying to judge a big order at the moment, I wanna snag a few chambray shirts and a few denim shirts will this and the OD version be re released with more sizes or is this it ?
I Wanna gauge the order in which I spread out the purchases, if they are limited I’ll snag them up first so I don’t miss out but If not the chambray is much more weather appropriate currently.

[Lowlander]

This shirt as well as the OD version are in continuous production, so they'll be back in all sizes.

Awesome thanks ! That makes it much easier, I’ll save the two CPO shirts for down the road when it gets a tad cooler and the new UHF’s release!! This year is gonna be packed with IH goodies for me

[Lowlander]

Good for you! Enjoy!

@Lowlander is right. However, the only thing I would say is keep an eye on the stock of the CPO’s. If you are a popular size and sell out quickly you may be in for a long wait. Restocks of these tend to be reliant on new runs being ordered and made and that process can take half a year from when it starts, meaning you can end up with a very long wait.

Unexpected pickup earlier today. I was at the British Museum to see Nero and dropped into R&H afterwards as it’s just round the corner. Not what I thought I was looking for but it just spoke to me. Now hoping for cooler weather!
