Wearing mine too right now. Such a pleasure! Mine is not as far along as yours though @the246guy!

Please help me judge fitment of this shirt.
I got it at the local to me Kentaurus store in Cologne, and all they had left was XL, where I usually take XXL. I took the bigger of the two shirts they had in stock, and below is a picture of me after the first wash.
It's fairly tight around the shoulders, not yet to the point where it's uncomfortable. But you can see that the third button from the top is pulling ever so slightly. I have lost a fair amount of weight during the last year, so I'm surprised that such a tailored looking shirt even fits (I own the Cash III in XXXL!). But I'm kind of undecided if I should have kept looking for a XXL - which the guys at Iron Heart Hamburg still have in stock as I just found out!

@tody It's a little hard to judge from the picture but I'd say the fit looks good! The length and shoulders seem fine and the arm length seems good too.

The sizing of this shirt is generally a little larger than normal, so that could explain why you're a smaller size than usual. I've gone with my usual size and it's noticeably more loose on me than other IH shirts I own.

@tody looks good to me. It will relax and stretch a little with wear,

I own two of these beautiful shirts in my size. As @Lowlander mentioned already, the measurements on these run a little bit larger compared to the other denim iterations. This one fits just right for you, but keep in mind that they do shirk a bit over several washes after which they remain over there. So taking this into consideration, I would try to size up.

[tody]

ok, fellas - thanks for the replies.
I believe sizing up is the way to go. If anyone is looking for a shirt in XL, I may have one for sale in the foreseeable future!

I own this shirt in my normal size (large for basically all IH shirts, including UHF) and I know I was flip flopping between a medium and the large because the numbers looked "closer" to what I was expecting in the medium.  I got the shirt in large and can attest to it being larger off the bat than my other shirts.  After a few washes, while still a tick more relaxed, it has shrank a bit and settled to where I like the fit.  I would say that if it feels a little tight in the shoulder for you, it's going to continue feeling that way after every wash.  Your normal size is most likely the way to go, unless you're looking to maintain more "fitted" and all the other dimensions are plenty comfortable

The evo on this shirt happens very slowly (in my case anyway)… still, the color of the natural indigo is just beautiful.

Natural indigo denim is known to give up its colour slower than synthetic, happened with my jeans too. Shirt looks great!

[Lowlander]

Yes, I figured it must be something like that. Thanks @AdamJ!

@Lowlander  Here it is. I will upload proper pictures with my camera later this week. I just took a quick crappy mobile phone snap.

Denim is looking great gents! Keep the pictures coming. I’m loving the natural indigo evo

[Joberwocky]

I wear mine all the time and have found the evo to be fairly slow.  Good thing Im in absolute love with the original color

The 246-NIN is the only shirt that I wear every single day. It is such a beautiful denim that has a vibrant striking blue and yes, it fades so slow that helps me to enjoy the vibrant blue for a long time.

[Lowlander]

Awesome! Great pics, great shirt.
