      @Supersonic I have quite a few UHF's and wash them all the same with a cold wash, little to no spin, and hung to dry. I have had very little shrinkage using that method.

      Hope it helps.

        Please find pictures below, unsure whether to size down to L rather than XL.

          @Supersonic looks just right to me, with a touch of room to spare so no fret of shrinkage.

            @Supersonic You could size down to the large but then you would need to watch how you wash and dry it.

              @Supersonic I think it looks great, I'd keep the XL.

                The main thing is the shoulders look good and the sleeves and torso have enough length. Nothing irks me more on a shirt that holding my arms out in front of me (like i'm ridin' a chopper, baby) and my wrists hanging out of the cuff. you could probably pull off a large if you wanted it to fit slim-n-trim

                  If it's any consultation, I'm likely to wear this open more often then not... decisions decisions.

                    @Supersonic size down if you’re going to wear it open. It will fit better in the arms and shoulders if you do.

                        I'll just be super careful when it comes to a wash, e.g. cold wash and limited spin. It's a blessing and a curse finding this brand. Such amazing quality though.

                          @Supersonic OG? You mean Original Goofball? I know what sizes work for me for my body shape. I am in XXXL right now because of my body shape. So while I have room in my chest measurements where an XXL would fit, my waist is probably still an XXXL in shirts.

                          I have one other UHF and gave it a 30 degree wash and let it air dry. Negligible shrinkage and I wouldn't risk much more as I'm tall and I hate when shirts are too short. As everyone says, measure your best fitting shirt or jeans and go from there. Not everything is always going to work out for you.

                          Ohhhhhh that constitutional stitching!

                            @joephoto thanks man! Appreciate you taking the time to drop some advice, I'll risk the Large to obtain the fit I'm after. Then just take it proper easy when the wash comes!

                              @Supersonic welcome to the fray, hombre. The key here is pacing yourself. Haha. Damn near impossible to do, but advisable. They are always releasing badass gear. One piece a season and you’ll be stoked. Or, you can go the route I took and completely overhaul your wardrobe in a matter of a year's time.

                              Then there’s the past releases that bore into your psyche like a fever dream and you must hunt down those sacred grail items. Oh boy!!

                                @Mizmazzle True dat. So many cool pieces, had to have this one for the 70s vibes.

                                I'm in the process of clearing out all my gear on Ebay and replacing with this stuff. But that's wise advice. Might leave it at 2. I got the Chambray off ebay for an absolute bargain and sound fella.

                                Might be an expensive couple of years ahead.

                                  @Supersonic yup! Buying used pieces off the forum is a great way to go about it too. Lots of stand up peeps around here. Lord knows Grailed and EBay have sourced several of my favorite shirts too!

                                    @Mizmazzle Aye! It was BNWTs. Absolute steal.

                                    But will keep an eye out on here in the future, been lurking in the background for the past couple of days. Seems like a sound community.

                                      @Supersonic My pleasure. There are plenty of great people here that will let you know how something fits. good or bad. I think once you know what works size-wise, you can then pick out the pieces you want. There are the occasional sizing anomalies with certain releases and the item won't work for you. Perfect example is that I have two pairs of 555 jeans that are both the same waist size. Both are very different in fits.... It was an error on my part despite knowing my sizing in that cut. Enjoy the journey and just be comfortable in what you buy.

                                      Ohhhhhh that constitutional stitching!

                                        @Supersonic the sleeves are way too long.

                                        With your body type, I would recommend going for the work shirt. The western is better for those with a small chest and narrow shoulders.
