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.

That one of the reasons I size up..

I definitely would have if not reading just a short ways up that they dont shrink and the product page saying "minimal or no shrinkage expected". Will add some measurements later to see if that info can help anyone make a decision on what to order.

I did size up. It's just not wearable now.

That the problem with the 6.5oz not very lasting

7.5oz is a better fabric long lasting.

Problem is getting it right 7.5oz different body shape all the time

Loving the fit and feel of this so far. In comparison to my 3sixteen pimas, it's much more substantial while still maintaining a very soft hand feel. Fit is about as trim as i like my tees to be so I will need to be sure to keep it on the wash and hang dry line.

Hoping to pick up a couple of the other colors as I can.

I tried them on in the Store in Hamburg. Unfortunately, neither size did really fit me well. Either too small or too big for my liking. Merz and whitesville are my go to‘s.

The 7.5oz boiz are super sturdy but also boxier for it. These 6.5ozers do feel lighter but they’re more wearable under other pieces and fit better imo - obviously comes down to your build so ymmv.

Maybe the 11OZ 1600 will work better? For me that was definitely the case. The 1600 is a bit longer and has tighter sleeves. Definitely a bit more fitted imo. I also love my Whitesville tees, but they also could be a bit longer

Length is fine in the Whitesville and even with the IH. My problem with the IH is that the sleeves are too loose for my liking or my biceps is too small…
