IHSH-332-SAX - Ultra Heavy Flannel Anniversary Check Western Shirt - Sax
-
@Traditional__edc the fit looks great to me, especially as an overshirt. Out of curiosity, I also ordered the size Large and it will be here on Monday…if you don't mind sharing what is your height and weight? Thanks!

Fit check! My first ever UHF. It feels a bit big but I went with a large as I’m gonna wear it as a over shirt this winter. What do you guys think?
Perfect fit imo. Never understood why people want tight flannels…then I remember not everyone chops wood and fishes in them

Also keep in mind that with washing especially when you wash it on regular base and hot the shirt will shrink half a size. Also as the information on the IH website says
and btw fit looks right for me and looks good on you! -

Fit is perfect.
Why some advise to size down is beyond me.

It’s what the website says
not to be a ‘i know better’ only give a heads up -
I didn't measure pre or post wash (60c) but no, it basically won't shrink. It tightens up a bit, but nowhere near a regular UHF. Maybe if you blast it in the dryer as well..
and @Traditional__edc I think your fit looks pretty good as well, apart from the sleeves that are too long on everybody

Gentlemen, could you please refrain from quoting pictures in your posts? Please tag the individual using the @ symbol and their username if you want to attract their attention.
By quoting their picture, you just make the threads messy and difficult to follow.
If you need help in learning to use the @ feature properly, please pm either myself or @neph93 for guidance.
Thank you!

@goosehd oops.. thanks for the heads up! Will do

I gave mine a hot wash (60 degrees C) and put the shirt in the tumble dryer. As someone mentioned before: it didn‘t shrink (that much) but now it feels a little but more fitted. Before the wash I had to cuff the end of the sleeves. After the wash I don‘t have to anymore.

Another alternative is to edit the photos out either on the web browser, or Tapatalk.
It is super easy, and means you can retain text you wish to quote while still attracting the OP’s attention.
In fact, it is the better option on Tapatalk which doesn’t let you tag folks without workarounds.
-
Yep my bad. Tapatalk is terrible on mobile unfortunately. Hopefully new forum (are we moving to discord finally?) will help that.

Not discord, but something with a lot more functionality than we currently have.

That's helpful info! Cheers, Mickey

While I’m super happy that Mickey has got results, I would proceed with caution. Hot washing UHF’s for shrinkage is a fine and established tradition but you wouldn’t want to overdo it. You can conceivably lose almost a whole size.
I would recommend taking it easy. First a warmer wash with drip dry for example. If you dind you need more after that that increase temp or use the tumble dryer.

I did so (60 degrees C and tumble dryer) straight away because I was aware of the fact that there won’t be much shrinkage due to the overdying process. Usually I am doing it like @neph93 suggests to proceed: first a gentle wash (40 Degrees C), than more temperature (60 degrees C) and if I still need some more shrinkage I use the tumble dryer.
