      My 2 cents on fitting: not sure = not keeping

        Unlike in every other situation in which someone asks for a fit critique, this time I think the shirt is too tight in the shoulders and chest.  The sleeve length and body length look good.

        I would recommend that you return it and get a work shirt instead.  The westerns work best on skinny people while the work shirts are better for those with a broader chest like yourself.

        I've noticed a small amount shrinkage on the UHFs, even when washing them at 30deg, but most in the arm length.

          That's a good suggestion by @DrPat, @ragefurymaxx.  The workshirt cut might be your best option.

            Ahh, didn't think about sleeves.  Think 1/2 inch longer would be too much?

            I think it might be but there's only one way to find out.  Fit is very subjective so only you will know what's best for you at the end of the day but that's just my two cents.

              The shoulder measurements on the westerns do seem pretty small in comparison to other shirts with similar measurements, im assuming this is to give them a more trim fit?

                So I got an XXL in the red – definitely better across the shoulders/chest.  I have much more mobility.  It's not as slim around my waist but I think it still looks ok.  Sleeves too long or I can pull it off?

                Thanks all for your input!  Truly appreciate it!

                  That is a better fit and will tolerate a wash. In fact, it'll be perfect after a wash I'd imagine. You'll loose a bit off the sleeves too, if you go up to or above 40C. The UHF's don't taper as much at the waist as other IH westerns.

                    The fit on the xxl is much better [emoji106] I think the sleeves are fine. A hot wash would definitely take a half inch off the sleeves easily as well as in the chest and length, if that’s what you’re looking for

                        Anyone live in Switzerland that could buy a shirt and ship it to the USA?  Found a vendor with a UHF-203-GRN XXL but they won't ship to the USA.

                                    Is that new design compare to 12mm rosette upgrade already in stock. Or is it a snap add on

                                      It will be a snap that we can add to lighter weight shirts, so the equivalent of these:
