      I'll also note:  I don't fit the Ship John shirts well, but that's my body more than their pattern.  I have the odd combo of long arms and a short torso - perfect for Iron Heart, totally backwards for Ship John.

      I finally broke down and ordered one of the Brown Striped Patton shirts recently, and I sized up to an XL for the sleeve length.  Predictably, it was too big in the body, but I had great results taking it to a great local seamstress I use.  She took 2" per side out of the body and shortened the length by 1".

      It cost me $35 total, and the shirt is a perfect fit now.  It sounds like a massive taper, but it's really only a 4" drop from the chest, and it was totally worth it.  She sewed the seams the same as they came and you'd never know the work was done.

        Hey @Brock or @Jett129 , did you guys get any shrink in those brown Patton shirts?  Mine just arrived.  It's like half a size too large.  I think that a hot-wash/dry might get it to the perfect size.

        Blanket-line all the things!!!

          Mine was a little too big as well, so I got washed and dried it and definitely got shrinkage in the sleeve length and a little throughout the rest of the shirt. Made it fit better and softened the fabric as well. Sorry but I didn’t take any measurements.

            Thanks, Jett!

            I didn't need exact measurements, just wondering if you felt like it shrunk at all.  I'll give it a hot-wash/dry.  Did you use a delicate or normal wash cycle?  I know all machines are different but I get the feeling that this shirt doesn't need a delicate touch.

              I used a normal setting,but had all the soil and spin options maxed out. My washing machine is a top loader with an impeller instead of an agitator. Dried on the hottest setting. It definitely shrunk some,but after washing and drying and using drier sheets the shirt lays/drapes better on me. Got 2 thumbs up from the wife on the resultant fit. Hope this helps.

                I too got a little shrinkage with a hot wash and dry! It definitely doesn’t need a delicate setting.

                  Threw this thing in the washer on hot/normal and the dryer on extra-hot/normal and man, it fits perfectly now!

                  Picture soon!

                    Not only that but the measurements look completely wack…

                    Just looked at the chart. The thighs are extremely slim. I have stick legs and even the 002 cut seems like it would be way too snug. Unfortunately I don't have the right body type for his shirts either. Just glad I fit in a Wills.

                    I have the same issue. The 001 is too tight in the thigh and crotch ( and I'm slim ) and the 002 is too baggy. I guess I'll have to sell these new 001 Shaver jeans.

                      So glad I was able to pick this up. Now I have to wait 10 months but it will be worth it!

                              I did, it's really good! Hearing about how he got his start was really cool to hear.

                                I was able to give it a listen, @Brock. I really, really liked it and thought that it was nice to get to know one of the dudes behind the brand. I can appreciate the well-crafted gear they make and the need that they are trying to fill with their goods.  😎

                                  I thought it was a good episode too! They talked too much about motorcycles for me but it was fun to listen to.

                                    Heck, I don't even ride but I enjoyed the motorcycle talk and thought they did a good job restraining themselves; clearly it could have taken over the whole podcast 😃

                                    Think it, be it.

                                      This is a long shot, but if anyone is local to Ship John and able to proxy the natural (white) Wills in an XL long that Mike's putting out in the store at 5pm tomorrow, I will pay a proxy fee of $100 and cover all costs including shipping. Let me know!!!!
