@Pipeboss713 I went with my normal IH shirt size…UHF's XL - Pale Rider XL.  Almost everything I own is IH XL.

Hope it helps.

@Pipeboss713 Don't forget to send an email to the IH crew if you're looking for something specific size wise.  I have many times and they have always hooked me up.

I went Witt my normal medium
Even though the measurements are a bit smaller
I’m hoping that extra little room I have in the mediums will help me here and this will fit perfectly.

Went Witt normal size medium
I’m 5’ 10 155 but I got a thick chest and small waist.
Shirt is tight on chest but perfect on waist.
Wondering if I’ll get the stretch I need out of the upper

Looks great, such a cool shirt.

@Pipeboss713 i think the fit and sizing is perfect.  This leather is stiff out of the bag and as it softens with time and wear will form to your shape.  In a few months this shirt will look like it was custom made just for you…

That’s what I’m hoping for
Right now everything seems perfect but the shoulders are tight and if I flex my chest I can pop a button open

@Olly what’s your input and experience with this shirt re:sizing and/or button pops?

[bbrtns]

It is horsehide.. horsehide loosens up but doesn't stretch in general (not as much as cowhide)

[goosehd]

@Pipeboss713 My experience is that the shirt did the same for me the first couple of times (2) wearing it re: button's popping.  I'm on my 10/11 wear and I haven't been able to get it pop at all today.

I would not expect much stretch.
The leather gets softer of course, but if it’s too tight it stays to tight

[Nik]

Good party trick though

[Kasi]

I have a trick but at your own risk’s
Get a pair of pliers tight the button around the edge that goes inside the cap…

I did it with my cpo shirt work for me

Not to hard.

I'm trying to save this thread before it runs off the rails:

1. I said the shirt will form to you, not stretch
2. The leather is stiff out of the bag and yes it will soften
     A) this is accomplished by wearing and or somehow softening the leather (lotions, water, cremes, etc.)
3. Fit is subjective:  If you feel it's too tight, then it's too tight.
4. The buttons did pop in the beginning, they don't now.  I've worn it for about 10/11 wears.

IMO I think the shirt is perfect, but that's my $0.02.

I'm out…
