@doubletee looks an absolutely perfect fit. Very nice indeed.

Was quite surprised by the amount of shrinkage from one wash! My XL is now a very small Large, coming in at 28 Length, 22 pit and the arms are even shorter than the Large. I’m going off the size chart as I didn’t measure mine before washing.
I was wearing undershirts with it and I guess even the small amount of deodorant that bled through bleached/stained the pits and a couple spots along the ribbing from putting it on. It didn’t need a wash but I guess I’ll have to be careful of deodorant sitting in the fabric, an expensive lesson.
I used oxiclean to soak it for about 12 hours, machine wash it twice to get all the soap out and a long medium temperature dry. The water was warm at the start of the soak and cold in the machine. I didn’t expect it to shrink so much being one washed 🥹. My stupid washer doesn’t spin very well so it was soaked and I was kinda forced to use the dryer. After all that it didn’t do anything to the stains and shrunk it a full size.
Let this be a learning lesson for anyone else debating on how to wash one of these!

Sorry for your pain @nrtphotos . Hopefully will be useful to you as a layering piece now. Most of my sweats and sweaters are big enough to be outerwear and I’ve kinda been craving some slimmer layering pieces.
Appreciate you sharing your experience to help the rest of us. That’s interesting given the hoodies run big and then don’t shrink much at all even with hot wash and hot dry. I have this crewneck too - it runs much smaller than hoodies to start with. I think mines only been washed once. Prob cold and then hang dry. Didn’t get much shrink, maybe some length and lil tighter in chest. Was stiff as a board for maybe 10 wears after drying haha. Just now getting cozy again. I’ll try to remember to be careful with the washing.

@68degreesorless yeah, I’m sure the 13 hour soak and prolonged medium temperature dry probably contributed, just sucked to find out lol.

Hello
For the people who have it....Is the collar "tight" ? I personally like it tight, but on some pictures from "Model Rudi", it looks like a bit too stretched to my taste.
Does it stretch out with wearing and then back to normal with wash ?Thx !
-
I have the olive and the black, and neither collar is stretched out. I’ve had the black one for a couple years and wear it quite a bit. Neck is still good.
-
@Elcamino Thx man for the answser ! Very good to know. I guess I'll soon find out myself then
-
Originally ordered the Medium that was really nicely fitting but it could not have moved one mm with washing, so I did take the Large at the end, which I finally prefer. Much more room, more comfy, and still a nice look, in my opinion at least
About the collar, at the end it does not bother me, but it's definitely not tight-tight; design choice I guess, and again it looks good I think because the collar is really thick.
Edit: sorry for the not so good picture quality, should also clean that mirror
