      Wear it unbuttoned… that's what I do when some of my shirts randomly get too tight (mostly around Xmas  :D)
      Nevertheless looking great @steelworker

        ^ Agreed with ALL of this.

        Tried mine on yesterday. Like you, the arms and shoulders are good, but the length combined with the slimmer opening makes it a little trim. The chest works. One encouraging thing I noticed for the half hour I wore it, is that the fabric has some stretch to it. Not surprising, given it is wool.

          Thanks @Chap  @neph93  good advice,  sizing up would  make it look baggy and it's too nice a shirt for that.
          still can't believe the softness I'm used to Pendletons and while they don't bother me I've seen them called hair shirts.

          Those are my principles, and if you don't like them…
          Well, I have others.

            Very pleased I managed to pick one of these up.  The collaboration has lent itself  to a product that has a slightly different feel and look to it from a traditional IH offering.  The fabric is really nice and something different which is why I purchased one.

            I picked up a large and  will wear it over a thin T-shirt like a standard shirt.

            Poor picture but it gives you an idea of fit.  I am 5ft 10" and 185 lb.

                Very nice indeed. I really enjoy the pocket design, size and placement, as well as the big buttons. It is a great piece and the combination of heritage fabric with Haraki-san’s modern detailing results in an understated elegance and refined functionality.

                    Damnit I couldn't figure out a good way to poke fun at @neph93 's florid language but @prpx nailed it 😃

                    Pretty words, mate 😃 I am going to keep J Peterman in mind for sharing future thoughts about IH garments.

                    @ddtrash that's a perfect fit!

                    Think it, be it.

                        In the Vortex.

                        The work is coming along well. The galleries keep calling, so maybe you'll stay another six months. See how it goes.

                        On certain days, you consider whether you truly feel the energy of the vortex or if it's just the pull of all the unanswered questions anyone who's lived long enough manages to collect.

                        The ones you came here to excavate.

                        In the meantime, you grow your own tomatillos and hike to Devil's Bridge every couple of weeks. In the morning, before the sun gets too high.

                        Your neighbor Dahlia says you should come to dinner.

                        You think yes, and then you say so.

                        "Wear that," she says. And so you do."

                        "OK face up to it - you're useless but generally pretty honest and straightforward . . . it's a rare combination of qualities that I have come to admire in you" - Geo 2011

                                    It’s sort of fun to get a shirt from IH that is a essentially a new fit. I only say sort of because it has also thrown me back 6 or seven years to when every purchase had a complimentary sack of newbie anxiety included.

                                    I did more research than I’ve done in years to decide between an L and an XL. Went for the L, and am now blind as to whether it actually fits. I welcome opinions, ( @DrPat here’s your chance from some brutal objectivity, mate  ;)).
