IHSH-332-SAX - Ultra Heavy Flannel Anniversary Check Western Shirt - Sax

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.

Received the shirt today! What a piece.. photos didn’t the shirt justice indeed.. what do you guys think about the size?
-
Looks like an awesome shirt and a very comfortable fit IMO
-

Glorious shirt. Looks like you could get away with a little shrinkage. You have a little bit extra in the arms and shoulders. But by no means too much. A warmish wash when it needs it should see the shirt tighten up just right.
-
@neph93 thanks! It’s really glorious like you said! A true piece of art and thanks for profiling the size
right now i wear a thin shirt under it but it’s nice to know i can run a thicker or thermo shirt under it and like you’ve said when i wash it the shrinkage will give me the ‘perfect’ fit! -
Finally got to wear her!

Nice one [mention]mclaincausey [/mention] that is a great looking shirt. OT but I saw a Vilebrequin store in St Martin and thought about you. I wanted to cop a pair but my wife shut that down pretty quick.
