You have to draw the line somewhere.

I’m on a self imposed break for a few months which in a weird way I’m kinda grateful for. If not, I’d be all over this and potentially risking being disowned by my wife.

I was looking at a jacket in the Outlet and she remarked how I "already have a bunch of jackets. WHY do you need ANOTHER??"

Oh no… this is how it starts....  ???

I’ve been looking forward to the first customer shots of these. Thank you.

It looks great. Seriously suits your style too. Did you size after normal measurements, or normal tag size?

Thanks,normal sizing…Medium

Interesting. I ordered a size down as the measurements looked big. Fingers crossed it works.

I’ll be interested to see how your fit turns out Reuben. Way back when I was considering picking one of these up, I was going to size down from large (my uhf size) to a medium as well. Thankfully I haven’t been pining for this shirt at all since they sold out…haven’t thought about it once. Don’t even know if Division Road has anymore in stock (they do) and definitely haven’t been thinking of creative ways to slip one into my closet.

@SKT have you ever wanted to look/seem smarter to people in public without saying a word?

This shirt is one way to achieve that.

By “interesting” did you mean “Shit!!!”?

This is exactly the effect I was looking for. But will it work on my wife and kids? Doubtful.

[Matt]

If I told my wife that this would make me look smarter she’d say “I certainly hope so because you look pretty stupid now asking me for a $500 shirt.”

[SKT]

@Matt  damn that made me laugh…same response I would get.

More like, «ooooh, fuuuuuck». Happily it still in Gosport and there are XL’s still in stock i will get the lovely @Graham to run a few tests for me tomorrow.

[Matt]

Excellent.  Too special and limited to not get the sizing right.  I was actually nervous for you.

[jordanscollected]

@neph93 Rueben I'm sure if you had a life size wax figure made and sent to Gosport, Giles would gladly display it in the office, and use it to find your exact sizing so these nail biter moments wouldn't happen.

[Matt]

Or one of those really high quality made to order sex dolls.  Then it’s multi functional.

I'm XL in most IH shirts. Bought an L. Fit is nice and trim over a T as I plan to wear it. Forearm area is very narrow compared to my other shirts however and could be a problem if you have muscular arms and are sizing down. So narrow that it makes me a bit skeptical about CPO/overshirt use even with the larger version.

Anyway fabric is amazing and for my use this shirt is perfect!

I’m an xl - xxl generally in western and the large works just about (so my wife tells me) but is a pretty trim fit and works as a layer over t shirt but would not work as an over shirt at all. The shirt (potentially negative fit feedback notwithstanding) is fucking stunning.
