      Judging by the how the crew measure post and in inches
      Shoulders 16.5 front 17.2 back
      Chest 17
      Waist 15
      Sleeve/ arm 24

      Wife measured so give an estimate on the ability to describe numbers and inches with a pinch of salt as she’s Australian and has never known imperial measurements but I witnessed the measuring

      This is my first shirt purchase and have saved up so really don’t want to f it up I’d like it to be fitting but be able to wear with a tee underneath when it’s cold here have a 11oz iron heart one and the lighter 1600l (I think) and a few other 6-9 oz ones

      Don’t think I’d need to be able to put a sweater or jumper underneath due to climate

      Sorry for being a pain in the arse on what must be a hectic time

        @Brian you could order more than one and return the sizes that don’t fit. I’m sure retailers hate it

        Yes, they do. I can't talk to other retailers, but it is something we put up with, but far prefer working with the customer to get the correct size the first time. Returns in general cost us a fortune, a recent study I read said that a return costs the average retailer USD50 when all the agro is costed up. But, I think that more importantly, it takes a garment out of the shop for an unspecified amount of time, and that may well mean a lost sale. It's also not particularly planet-friendly.

        The bottom line is that we would far rather you talk to the crew and nail the sizing.

            and if you don’t have any button up shirts, try using this one as a baseline for your own measurements:

            Once you have some baseline measurements, everything gets much easier.

              @Brian …and another trick that I’ve used is to go to a clothing, suit, seamstress and ask if they will take your measurements. Most will be happy to oblige if you’re upfront and honest with them.

                            @Giles I never realized how common this is until I saw the numbers.

                            It seems like most retailers don’t penalize it and some encourage it with free return shipping.

                            I guess it’s hard for small retailers to avoid it when there is the right to return and expectations are set by companies like Amazon.

                                Unless I’m missing it, it doesn’t talk about fades … can someone clarify?

                                Will this shirt fade beyond what we see here?

                                Thanks

                                  It looks like the P2P and shoulders are bigger than usual for a size L, is it to prevent more shrinkage with this new SHF fabric ?

                                    @Brandrea There was a slight anomaly that deviated from the norm in the bullet points. Whilst the flannels "age" and lose a bit of the colour vibrancy, they do not "fade" in a conventional sense.

                                    All the bullets points for the SHF/UHFs are up to date now

                                    The devil is in the detail..

                                      @Raisinoux They’ve been treated exactly the same so we should expect similar.

                                      I will do a shrink test with a UHF and SHF in the same wash and post the dims for clarity

                                            @AdamJ I know this is one of the last UHFs of the season...does that mean the Work Shirt version is still on the table or will this shirt only be available as a Western?
