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

. I don't know what odds are that I could find someone to trade with me, but spending that much, I'd rather not be on pins and needles about the fit.
The published measurements are an aggregate of a sample taken from what arrives in Gosport. An inch is a relatively large deviation but not unheard of.
That being said… you have options.
1. The shirt will not shrink with careful washing due to the overdying. It will likely relax with wear however. You may get half an inch of stretch.
2. The fit doesn’t look bad. Trim for sure, with a little bit of button pull at the chest. I have some shirts that fit like that and find that opening the bottom button and too button a lá @Olly helps massively. Play about a bit and see what works best.
3. You’ll be able to flip it on the aftermarket for most, if not all of the outlay
If it were me, I’d wear it a few days, open, closed with an undershirt, and without. You’ll likely find it works. Then just hand wash and line dry.
Thanks man, I really appreciate the response. The good news is I just found another random large pop up online and I had the shop measure it p2p. This one is 22" spot on, so it should be a perfect fit. I'll more than likely sell this one outright to recoup my funds. I do love this shirt.

I'm struggling with this one too. I love it, but the arm length is bugging me. I don't want to have it tailored, and if I take measures like hitting the sleeves with hot water from a kettle I worry about resale as well as the arm holes becoming too small.
-
sizing for me was tricky for me too as I noticed the extra lengths in the arms. Went a size down from normal UHF and I'm really counting on the OD having taken the shrink out and it relaxing a bit as my others have, because if it shrinks at all in the chest, it likely wont be comfortable for me. Somewhat wish I had ignored the sizing chart and blindly ordered the usual XL but I think it will work. It certainly looks tailored to me right now in a good way.
Also, i dont think it's been mentioned, but there's a unique smell to this UHF that the other UHFs didnt have when I got new, that is somewhat pleasing to me, perhaps from the OD? Smells like cozy warmth :D.

Have you worn it for a while? Usually creasing in the sleeves cause them to shorten a bit. I would suspect that wearing it while damp would cause even more creasing.

Even the normal UHFs barely shrink in the chest with a 30 deg wash. I shouldn’t see any shrink for this one.

I swayed a lot to and fro this shirt since its release, but then I happened on an Instagram post from Aitora in Spain about "a second chance on an instant classic" I could not resist
They still have "L" listed on their website.
Hope it helps

I managed to pick one of these up in an XXL from Brund about 7 weeks ago, when it was pretty much sold out everywhere. It's a great shirt. It fits me perfectly apart from the sleeves, which are maybe about 0.5 to 1 in too long. Has anyone managed to shrink just the sleeves on one of the UHF shirts before? If so, how? Could the sleeves only, be soaked in hot water maybe?
-
As much as I love it, this has been sitting in my closet. “The sleeves are too long,” I thought. I didn’t want to have it altered and I didn’t want to sell it. I experimented with doubling back and snapping the cuffs but didn’t like that either.
Today was the day I said “fuckit,” and really they’re not that bad or even as long as my UnTucked.
It then warmed up, allowing me to finally pair with UnTucked as I’ve wanted to for a while.

Colorado livin'! Wild temperature swings. Winter definitely settled in here but haven't experienced Minnesota cold just yet.
Thanks @pechelman and I've gone from conflicted to excited about the shirt.

Digging it with the brick red Merz color.
