      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.

                I did not realize that you had the shirt in Large/XL/XXL.  The large looks good, the XL (Best), and the XXL is too big.

                With the XL and a little shrinkage, the shirt would be a perfect fit.

                  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.

                      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.

                          @MassiveThighs it may be you’re trying to fit a square peg into a round hole. The IH western cut isn’t as fitted and tapered as The Flat Head western cut, but it is still fitted and tapered, designed to follow the contours of the body. Snug but comfortable is the idea.

                          You mention you’ve bulked up and I guess that means gym work. Sometimes broad shoulders and chest just doesn’t work in westerns. A pretty good argument has been made on this forum that work shirt cuts look better on well built guys. They are slightly roomier over the chest but shorter in arms and body. I bet you’d be very happy with an XL work shirt.

                            @MassiveThighs The most important thing is that you feel comfortable wearing it. I agree it looks somewhat big but if you think you can make it work then keep it.

                              i think its just the picture i posted and me not snapping the shirt at the top, but the should seams sit perfectly where my shoulders break.  i can layer this heavyweight shirts and still have good range of motion.  after a wash or so i think it will shrink a bit, and im not getting any smaller due to the gym.  really love this flannel and IH itself.

                                    Layering is a lot of fun with an UHF! It gets cold here in Alaska, I’m all about some layering.  #doubleUHF

                                        Talk about Flannel squared. Very cool,or warm as it may need to be. Do miss Bullwinkle though.

                                          A real quick pic (soz for the bad lighting) of the shirt after an initial hot soak and tumble dry. The most notable shrinkage was in the back length, sleeve length, and chest (1cm to 1.5cm shrinkage). It's bang on how I like my flannel shirts to fit!
