      @Wlemon:

      I wonder if it would be possible to wear UHF under this. I feel like the "Woddy" would look amazing.

      Check the measurements. CPO’s are cut with less taper in the waist precisely to facilitate layering. They can totally be used as a jacket.

      If your UHF’s are fitted then I see no reason why you can’t try. You could even check the next size up. I used an XXL IHSH-76 over a JC II for a while.

        Although layering shouldn't cause a problem in the body, I imagine it would be difficult to get the CPO sleeve over the UHF sleeve, especially at the cuff.

        I can layer my IHW-01 over a thin flannel of the same size without a problem.  The mid-weight flannels can be layered with difficulty, with the difficulty occurring in the arms.

                I have the tan one. Tomorrow, I'll see if it's possible to fit a UHF or any IH shirt underneath. I'd do it now but my closet is in my nine-month old's room. If I wake her, I am dead.  😃

                  I should pass on this one because I have too many blue shirts but this is such a beauty.

                    Eagerly awaiting measurements. If the opening is a skootch wider than the 216, I will have to get this, blue wardrobe be damned.

                          Does this material stretch or shrink?

                            The crew will confirm but I suspect it is once washed, so no shrinkage. Moleskin is quite densly woven so shouldn’t stretch much either.

                              @jat I have last year's model, and, assuming its the same fabric, you shouldn't get any shrinkage from a cold wash. I have also not found the material very "giveable," too. If you're hoping it will stretch like denim, it won't, unfortunately. It has a wonderful, almost velvet-like feel to it, though.

                                  Man, my 162 in medium is almost a full inch larger in the opening, and I love the fit on that one. Maybe I’ll gamble and ask for the biggest? Don’t think sizing up will be the fit I want. Dang

                                      @Jett129 It's a strange feeling to have the "shirt" feel heavier than the "jacket" but that's where we are at.  😃

                                          Yes. Not bad, actually. I probably do a lighter flannel to be honest, though.

                                            Really tempted by this. Large looks good for a nice trim fit, XL would probably work if wearing as outer layer but might be too long. @Sam is my baseline for shirts, would he take a Large?

                                            Any estimation as to how warm this will feel? I’m guessing similar or slightly lighter than a UHF? Also as this is Navy, am I right in thinking this isn’t going to fade?
