depends on how you want to wear it @doubletee
To me I see a couple of things that make me think going a size up might be better such as the side hem length showing a lot of your undershirt. For me personally, This is usually an indication that the shirt is too short (or I'm wearing a tshirt that's too long :D)
The shoulders look good but definitely on the trim/fitted side of comfortable and the sleeves look exactly the right length when standing, which for me usually means I'll find them sliiightly short when working at a desk, driving, or whatever.

It looks good but would also ask for a buttoned picture with your t-shirt tucked.

@doubletee Golden fit and one I would be very happy with! What are your thoughts now? Still on the fence or happy with it?

IMO, looks fantastic

@doubletee seconded, looks perfect.

It looks really good to me too now, trim but not tight. There's minor pulling at the placket but iirc mine did that too originally.

The only thing I see is that it looks short on the sides, but I’m not sure sizing up would solve that …

Otherwise it looks fantastic on you!

Does it make any sense to buy this instead of a UHF for winter? Is the fabric close to as dense/thick? I love the UHFs in photos but they're a little loud for me. Thanks

@CosmoSix5 pretty thick and warm this fabric is. Not quite as warm as a UHF though.

@CosmoSix5 This was my first IH purchase years ago, and still is my favorite shirt. Something very special about the material, and the fit. I can only say that about the Western version, but I would say this, UFH, and CPO are must have top choices IMO.
I still want to get copper snaps though in mine.

So, I'm in the middle of a "I'm tired of Iron Heart shirts I can't wash and dry" and my old Kersey was one of the most aggressive shrinkers on me. I'm also sizing up a little bit more these days on everything, no more fitted looks. So I picked up a practically brand new (worn 1x) size XXX-Large because of my measurements on shrinkage on my previous size Large. Thought I'd post my wash/dry experience here because I had a lot of success with this one.

Pre-wash: 24.5" chest, 20" shoulders, 27.5" sleeves.
Very hot water soak, hot air tumble dry: 23.5" chest, 19" shoulders, 26.25" sleeves.

It now fits absolutely perfectly for my taste, and I have no worries about future shrinkage on it. For the record, I'm a true 41" chest, I wear shirts in a 16-35, usually a size Medium or Large in most US sizing, usually a 42 or 44 in most Japanese brands. I got this one because the kersey was so aggressive and because I got it cheap enough to experiment on. I'm still thinking XX-Large UHF's are the way for me to go, going forward.

And yes, I know most people like the "just don't put your shirt in the dryer" lifestyle, but I have 3 kids and I like the way that flannels wear in over time when wash/dried, so that's just not going to be my taste.
