IHSH-237-BLK - Ultra Heavy Flannel Crazy Check Western Shirt - Black
-
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 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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
@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.

Finally, mail call. Straight up flannellapalooza! Looking forward to trying on the IHSH-237 when I get home from work.

The L amd XL are a bit snug when i wear it with an undershirt. I was going to keep the large until i accounted for wash and shrinkage.
The xxl feels the most comfiest but of course lacks a bit of aesthetics.

I walked in my front yard to get a fit pic. Only in Alaska do you get photo bombed by a bull moose [emoji1787].

The snugness happens, especially with thick uhf flannels. Most of my UHF’s fit comfortably but I do have a couple that are snug. I wear an undershirt with all my flannels. At the end of the day you should go with what works for you.
