    Finally snapped a picture of the new shirt yesterday  😉

    Still love the fit on this shirt. Everything seems to fit just right. Hopefully it won't shrink when I cold wash.

      You should be fairly safe if you do a cold hand wash and hang dry

        Usually after I wash my shirts, I pull the hem and sleeves while it's still damp to get a little extra length, so that might help as well.

          This is wise. The side seams are important too.

          It is necessary to be aware of the potential for shrinkage in these shirts but it is important not to exaggerate either. With careful washing and air drying the shrinkage is somewhere been zero and negligible. If you hot wash and tumble dry you may lose a cm or at silly temps two. For a lot of people with a regular fit then even that is fine. The most they’ll shrink is half a size.

                so i upgraded to an XL.  a bit roomier around my shoulders, but once i put on a shirt with it, it feels a tad tight, but not to the point where im uncomfortable.

                please excuse the no pants..  my roomie was in a rush and i tried to get a pic right before he left.

                here is Large:

                and XL:

                thoughts?

                  I personally like the Large a lot better on you.

                    I think both look good: the L has obviously a more fitted look whereas the XL has a roomy and relaxed fit. The latter will give you more room for washing as well.

                      I think you’re best going with the XL but giving it a deliberate hot wash. The sleeves are a little long and you can live with losing a bit in the shoulders and through the body.

                        Thanks dudes.

                        Anyone wash these yet?  If so, do you notice a change in fit?

                          UHF’s from IH are all made more or less the same so the behaviour of the fabric is more or less understood.

                          The fabric shrinks evenly and proportionally on a medium hot wash (low or no spin, air dry). A very hot wash and tumble drying may distort the fabric a little.

                          I know US washing machines can be limited when it comes to settings so you could definitely use the hot tub. By a cheap baking thermometer and get the water to 60C, soak the shirt with a little soap and move it around in the water. Air dry on a hanger. You’ll lose 1-2cm in the body and sleeves and around 1cm in the shoulders and chest. The shirt will keep its shape.

                            I washed mine on cold in a top-loading machine with a regular cycle, and didn't notice any shrinkage.

                              That’s as it should be. A 30-40C wash shouldn’t cause any shrinkage.

                                me in a 2xl with a heavy undershirt on.  comfortable everywhere, and feel very relaxed.  is it too big on me?  im not too worried about sleeve length.

                                  I think you’re opinion is the most important, but to me that looks far too big.

                                    ya thats true.  i see you like it a bit on the slimmer side.

                                    really wanted to make this shirt work..  maybe a hot wash will shink it up a bit.

                                      A hot wash will definitely help. If you like a relaxed fit in the shoulders and chest then it will probably be good.

                                        @MassiveThighs Just my opinion, but I think the shirt is too big for you.  I always look at where the shoulder seam lies on the shoulder when sizing shirts/jackets/etc. and your shirt looks like it hangs off of your shoulders.  You might get the shirt to shrink some, but I don’t know how much.

                                        As Neph mentioned, it is your opinion that matters, but personally I would size down.
