      The sleeve length (at least for size small) seems to be longer than my other UHFs 😞

      If you do a forum search for «sleeve length» you’ll find a long debate regarding this topic from a few years ago. The short of it is that longer is deemed better on the basis that everyone can do something with  a longer sleeve where as shorter sleeves will exclude some people.

      There is also the design aspect. Traditionally, H-san designs longer than average sleeves on shirting so that they don’t rise up the arm, thus leaving exposed skin, when on a bike.

        The picture of G’ in the hickory and crazy check is making me rethink my policy of mixing patterns.  In my opinion, it looks great on him!

              My method has been to size up when in doubt. I’m definitely an xl in this shirt

                Wow [emoji54] Such a beautiful shirt!

                The P2P measurement on the XXXXL is just too small for me. …need more like 64.5 cm P2P.

                If there’s a super large one in the mix, I’ll take it. In the meantime, I’ll be (im)patiently awaiting measurements on the work version.

                  They often come up a little larger in a direct comparison and there is an argument that they work better on bigger guys anyway. The cut is certainly more accomodating. It boils down to personal choice in the end though.

                    If you’re inbetween go big and do a hot (60C) wash. Be sure you can afford to lose length before you do this.

                      I agree, and I’m also a fan of the chain stitch runoff on the work shirt version as well. …fingers crossed that the measurements work for me[emoji1696]

                          I assume it's one of the biggest - if not THE biggest - UHF releases when looking at how many retailers have jumped on the bandwagon. The shirt is a future classic for sure.

                            @AdamJ great idea on separating the stockists by country, it's very helpful for the buyer.  Appreciate the extra attention to detail on that.

                              That was my observation as well. Good thing too because it means I won’t have to worry about it selling out

                                I'm pretty sure it was the most popular item in terms of volume from the F/W19 collection!

                                  True, I was thinking about that since people say that it can shrink up to half a size. I guess the main measurement that is stumping me is the shoulder width which seems to be larger than what I'm used to. I reckon the length will be okay since I'm not a tall fellow. Thanks!

                                    If I understand, you’d normally be an L but you’re considering going down because of a wider shoulder? Tricky. The risk in my mind would be that a smaller chest could be a problem. Shoulders settle in regardless but too small a chest can really affect the look of the shirt.

                                      It's actually the opposite… I can't really say what I'm usually since I only have a couple of shirts (62-IND and 07) which are both size M. The L in this shirt seems to be the most similar in all measurements except for the shoulder width which is a tad bit wider. I reckon I should be good with the L size even if it shrinks slightly as the M size may be teetering on the edge of being too snug if frequently washed. Excited to finally have the opportunity to own a UHF shirt! Having one would most likely help me understand future sizing haha

                                      Thanks for your help/input 🙂

                                        My pleasure, although others can/should chime in. It takes a denimhead village 😉

                                        I understand the challenge now and in my opinion your instincts are good, an L would be the thing. You always have the hot wash option available then.

                                            There may be some slight variation so you're welcome to ask the guys in the packing area to hunt for the smallest shoulder measurement (dependent on availability!)

                                            I usually take an M in UHF's despite being a S in most of my IH shirts. Reason is 1) You can get shrinkage if you need to. 2) Can wear them as an additional layer so can afford a bit of extra room in the shoulder if you're layering etc

                                            The devil is in the detail..
