      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.

                  To the previous discussion, here's a UHF under last year's model.

                    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.  😃

                          Well that combo is just bloody lovely. Comfortable fit too?

                            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?

                                It is Navy, not indigo, and probably reactive dyed. So fading like denim won't happen no. Judging by the measurement, I strongly suspect Sam will use Large. Moleskin is traditionally wind resistant and quite dense. I'd imagine this to be different to a UHF but nearly as warm

                                  Awesome, I’d want this shirt to stay looking just as it is with minimal fading. I just noticed the page for the brown version of this shirt where the measurements are similar and Sam indeed took a brown.
                                  Think my mind has been made up on this one. Will be poised at 1600 tomorrow!

                                    “Took a brown” sounds sounds like something else entirely…

                                        @Wlemon shirt looks great, did you size normally or go up? I’m in two minds which way to go for this…

                                          I purchased my normal shirt size. I didn't size up so it looks more like a shirt when buttoned. In the thread for the tan one, you can see how it looks. I forget how to link or else I'd do it.

                                            @jerkules Hey there, sorry for the slow reply. Just to confirm for you, I am large in this shirt. It was pretty snug though so you'd definitely want to go up to an XL for layer anything like a hoodie.
