    @Danny:

    Nothing like the arrival of the first UHF to rid us of the summer blues and get us all excited for winter.

    We still have a few left in most sizes

          Shoulders look great, the mid section appears to be a bit roomy @Max Power

            Thanks guys. I tried on XL as well and as expected the shoulders were way too tight. Also it was on the short side. Given shrinkage XL will be perfect. The colourway is so much better in reality. Couldn't pass by.

              Some more details. Nothing beats the feel of a new UHF.

                  @Max Power I think the fit works great for you everywhere, including the body/torso, especially for a shirt of this weight. If you don't mind my asking, what is your height? Curious to know which vitals seem to work best for larger sizes like the XXL.

                    @dreigh @Alex_24 thanks guys. I'm 1.87m and 86kg for reference. I used to be XL but compared to previous years the shoulders are below 19" which made me size up. XL felt too snug in the other areas as well.

                        Shirt looks great on you Max!

                        My feelings on flannel shirts have moved towards erring on the side of "slightly too big." IMO, a flannel shirt isn't supposed to be something that's super trim-fitting, and when I see people on Instagram etc. wearing really trim flannels it looks a bit weird to me now.

                        I'm tall and skinny and when I look back on pictures of myself wearing a Flat Head shirt in size 40 it just really accents how relatively unusual my proportions are… but wearing a 3Sixteen flannel in L (roughly corresponds to this shirt's sizing) makes me look more proportional overall.

                              Interesting post. I’m inclined to agree with you and prefer work shirts in UHF or other heavier/thicker fabrics precisely because of the points you make. Denim, chambray and other lighter/thinner fabrics are great in the western.

                                I fluctuate between L and XL with IH flannels. Most in my closet are L but I do have a few XL’s. It’s important to remember too that there are always variances in sizing with each release. As long as I hit that sweet spot of 22” to 22.5” in the chest then I’m golden.

                                  Great discussion!  And Max, it looks great on you.

                                  My opinion, the UHF, when sized correctly, can have a slimming effect.  I have both XL and L.  My IHSH-126-PB is an XL with buttons, and the buttons around my chest look like they have pressure on them, in fact the mid clavicular button becomes unbuttoned sometimes.  My IHSH-207 is a L with copper snaps.  The material is thick enough to not show things like nipples (yeah, I went there [emoji1787]), and the copper snaps are tough and don’t show any stress.  With that said, I recently got some XXL UHFs from the outlet.  In Alaska, it reaches -45F, and I’m looking forward to being able to layer with the UHFs [emoji3587].

                                    I’ll preface this by making it it clear that my personal opinion is just that and worth no more than any others, but button pull on th top two buttons is a deal breaker for me. I’d be an L in most IH shirts if I could tolerate button pull but it just looks daft to me.

                                    One thing that @DrPat  has said on this forum a few times and @tvenuto has developed is that workshirts are better on broader, bigger guys and while there are always exceptions I’ve come to see the sense in that.

                                    Sizing up for layering IH is one of the joys of living in the cold north for me, whether it is shirts vests or jackets.

                                      The button pull scenario seems common but that to me is indicative of incorrect fit. A couple of my L UHF’s do this but only because I gained a little weight. I simply keep the top snap undone.
