      As fate would have it, I unexpectedly found an XL in store this weekend, and it fit perfectly. No tightness in the shoulders and a tiny bit more breathing room. While the Large looks amazing, the XL is a lot more comfortable. A learning experience with thicker, denser fabrics to go up when in between sizes. This is definitely the shirt of the year and it’s not close.

      XL vs L

                        @Tago-Mago did you happen to get the length measurement?
                        Looks like it will be about 1 cm based on other shrinkage you got.
                        Thanks for sharing. Did the hand feel of the fabric at all?

                          @Mizmazzle didn't measure the length. It feels a bit crunchier again, but mine was still pretty stiff anyway because I hadn't worn it a ton. Will start bringing it into my rotation a bit more now that the autumn perma-high fog has settled over Bavaria. It does have a beautiful iridescent appearance now, which I didn't notice before the wash

                              Very nice!! This shirt is so packed with character. I think it’s going to be a bit more stubborn to fade than we all initially thought. Which I actually really like about the shirt.

                                @Mizmazzle I agree it might be stubborn. My plan is to wash it on a regularly basis like once a week or maybe two weeks. 👌💙

                                  @PJ excellent! Some fabrics just love a good wash! I’m still on the fence about my washing regimen on this one. I may go for the opposite and wash only after it’s unpresentable for work. 🧌

                                      Does it feel like a 21oz shirt or does it have more of a lighter breathable quality to it?

                                        I (wrongly) decided to size up one from my typical Iron Heart size — I’m 5’ 10”, 165 pounds, and have a 39 inch chest and went with an XL instead of an L. Because this fits way more like a jacket than a shirt, I just ordered a Large.

                                        I absolutely love the material on this shirt though — by far my favorite that Iron Heart has produced!

                                          @MrJay Large will probably be spot on 👌💙

                                            @GandalftheGray We had a cold front blow in and it cut right through this baby, needed an outer layer for sure. I'm pretty cold natured so take that with a grain of salt, but I'd call this very breathable and not warm below 50F, IMO (60F for me 😂).
