IHT-1610L - 6.5oz Loopwheel Crew Neck T-Shirt with longer body - in 6 colours

How did most of you guys size these? Did you size down one from your usual IH work/western size? Anybody size down two sizes? I feel that I would definitely size down one from my usual XL and get a L in these…but I almost feel I could squeeze into a Medium with the longest length measurement.
I skimmed through the thread and didn't see any info on this...curious to hear anyone's thoughts.

@manufc10 I did indeed size down to XL, coming from XXL western (trim, fitted, but can wear them over a tee or long sleeve).
It probably comes down to how you want to wear these. For me, sizing down was important to avoid the boxy look and get a snug fit around the shoulders / chest. I compensate for the slightly shorter body with a high rise jeans (888). The combo looks perfect!
If I were to look for a tee fitting my low rise jeans though (Oni 622), I would either go true (Western) size or even size up, so the length won’t be a problem. Does this make sense?
Go by the measures think about how you’d like to wear them, and not much can go wrong :-).

Thanks for the input @weftyarn, I appreciate it.

Actually, I sized up to large in these, and think they’re perfect. Medium might’ve been a little slim in the opening, and I need all the length I can get.

Just picked up the gray one and the fit is spot on. I think I asked this before but any chance for the marl gray to be added??

@neph93 Hey there my IH friend…I just bought this shirt in Olive...digging it so far. I was wondering if you noticed any stretching in your tees at all? I guess most things loosen up with a bit of wear, but was kinda wondering about stretch...much thanks in advance. Hope you are well!

Not much mate. Certainly not like the waffles. Just standard cotton tee stretch, after a day or two with wear, then they snap back into shape with a wash.

Right on! Thanks for the deets! I'm not sure how IH does it, but damn if everything H makes doesn't fit and feel right on the money!

@Giles hi Giles, hope you, Paula and family have had a better 2022 so far. You pop into my thoughts regularly. Any idea when there might be a restock of black longer body tees?
Sorry if I missed anything that might have covered problems with shipping from Japan at the moment. I buy a fair few cds from there and everything is shipping sea freight.
Take care, S. T

Is the neck hole on these shirts supposed to be really tight? Like almost obnoxiously tight?
-
That sounds like The Flat Head's tees. They're great if you can get your noggin through the neck hole. I like a neck hole that doesn't get distorted, but also like my ears where they are.

These are the IHs. It was ok new, but after a wash it's like wearing a straight jacket around the neck. And I am pretty trim guy.

Also got a few of these new ones and they definitely shrank with warm water and a low dry setting on newer front load eco washer/dryer. The neck is almost back to where it was new but the chest, length, and sleeves are noticeably smaller, even after wearing for a day. They're borderline for me now. The big dimensions feel ~.5" smaller but can confirm with a measurement later.
