@Bigdog nailed it man. Congrats. I hope it fits you well. It sure looks like it does.

[Bigdog]

@Autorotate thanks! feels a little tight in the chest but it’s already losing up.

[singletrack]

Looks good on you, @Bigdog. Glad to hear it's loosening a bit. Nice looking pup in your avatar, too.

[pechelman]

to add a data point for anyone, mine's relaxing nicely. Loosening might be the wrong characterization as measurements seem to be exactly what they were when I got the shirt. It was borderline uncomfortable around the torso and arm holes when sitting down but now the fabric knows where to fold and drapes much more naturally so it isn't constricting anymore. Hopefully this clarification could help anyone getting this shirt new and struggling with the fit. As is typically suggested with bottoms, focus on the measurements and give it some time. Definitely glad now I stuck with the Large.

@pechelman Agree...."relaxation" of the folds and creases of the 18 oz. fabric is probably a better way to describe what happens as you wear it in...

Any body get sore elbows (inside of arm) during the break in? I sure do. But the break-in process is well on its way.

@coldcashandcolderhearts yeh I got that in the non-overdyed version, but it only lasts a week or so and soon softens up

[Cskarev]

It has arrived. And it is stunning.
For reference and info: I am 185 cm, 83 kg, wearing size L
Sorry for the bad quality of some of the photos

@Cskarev looks great and perfect fit! I’m starting to think I “need” one of these

[Cskarev]

@SKT , right now I just do not understand what you are still waiting for. Just go for it. It is a great piece of clothing. Just sublime.

[SKT]

I’m telling myself it’s going to be hot soon…but that’s not really helping.

[Cskarev]

Nah, there is still time till the hot weather…
Just joking of course but I am sure you will be very happy when you finally get it, sooner or later.

[singletrack]

@Cskarev Nice fit...congratulations. I also have one in a size L, and I picked up the black moleskin CPO as well. I prefer the OD version, but the black provides a slightly better contrast with jeans. Enjoy!

[Cskarev]

Thanks @singletrack !
The big problem is that I like most of the shirts that IH offers.
But I know I will continue to get more, I just can’t resist.

[SKT]

@Cskarev may have to be later…my want list is a mile long but you guys are making this thing hard to resist!

Office outfit. It is a shirt with special character.

This was a new one for me today; getting a coffee at the local, the two baristas are chatting to the customer in front about musicals and somehow I get roped into the mix and mention one I saw ages ago that I recall really enjoying. No one there had heard of Pippin, but no fear, clearly I'm one of good taste because, and I quote, "for the awesome jacket you're wearing," so it must be a good show :D.

Let the record show I was wearing the 293.
