    Another copper snap convert on this one and I think it looks fantastic!

      Had mine in the mail today! Copper snaps of course.

      Maybe could have sized down a little but prefer more room in chest and waist and can deal with overall length being a little too much

        How is the shrinkage on these? I read the entire chat and very little discussion on it. I like to check the used market for shirts to see how the sizing is once people wear items a bit. Sizing is all over on these, some losing 2" in the p2p number

          @danno_dub if you hot wash and\or machine dry, there’s some shrink to be had. If you cold wash and hang dry I doubt you’d see much. Don’t have exact numbers for you but mine shrunk some when I wanted it to.

            @danno_dub we do not expect shrinkage if you wash per our guidelines

              This is generally the case though..

                That is more likely because people do not know how to measure or do not measure like we do.....

                  I picked this up from Grailed in Australia - shipping was $$, but what an absolute unit this shirt is with its many hues of blue. This is Iron Heart, to me.

                    @danno_dub My indigo Kersey shrank more than my gray one FWIW both washed the same way, but others might have a different experience. A little ironing can go a long way though, and neither shrank to where they won't fit me.

                      can i pull off this size large? mediums sometimes feel to much of a step down in chest and shoulders.

                        @bluemantra I had the same issue with this shirt and went with the larger size and then soaked and dried it a couple of times increasing the soak and dry temperature each time (not wanting to overshoot the shrink in the initial soak/dry) to shrink it to an almost perfect fit. If going this route, don’t get too aggressive with the heat initially and slowly increase the heat with additional soaks and dries as needed - this shirt definitely shrinks. Good luck!

                        No one’s happiness but my own is in my power to achieve or to destroy.

                              @John-Galt I took my Kersey all the way up in XXXL vs my current UHF of XXL because of how much it shrinks. (I’m a 41” chest, TTS 42, usually medium or large in US sizing). Now, I’m in the “I don’t want a flannel/denim shirt that I can’t put in the dryer” so my sizing is for that and for a vintage fit which is less modern/slim than a lot of people like.

                              Point being, I agree with that they shrink a lot. And I always suggest erring on the side of “get these even bigger than you think” and if the shirt “fits” before you throw it in the dryer, size up if you think you might ever throw it in the dryer.

                                @will6er that's exactly what i was thinking. Too often I've sized down and then if my weight fluctuates just a little then it doesn't fit any more.

                                    I’m going through this now. Lots of stuff too tight by just a little as I settle into my almost 50’s and care less about chasing abs and switch to chasing carbs.

                                      Also, like mentioned before don’t be scared of putting things that are too big in the dryer. It isn’t a death sentence like some would have you believe. I don’t do it often but if necessary I do it once to get all the possible shrink out then air dry for the rest of its life.

                                          Can wash with warm water and then see how much shrink there is and then slowly turn up the dial to shrink more in subsequent washes? Or does all the shrink come out after first wash. Probably a dumb questions…
