            Hello fellow IH addicts 😀
            I had this shirt delivered from a stockist and the fit is good, but the "half size shrinkage with continuous wash" worries me a bit.

            @Graham (if not ok to ping crew member please tell as I'm unsure): Since you're wearing this on your profile picture I guess you wear it quite a bit 😉
            Did you wash it already ? Did it shrink ?

            I guess my question is if I can keep this from shrinking at all or if I should size up.

            Btw...any stretch from wear with UHF ? Never had any.

            Thanks all 😉

              Hey @Slash

              Can we see a photo of you in the shirt?

              If it fits well, you can really mitigate this potential/approximate half-size shrinkage with delicate, low-temperature, low-spin washing.

              UHFs can be tricky in finding your flow, but the general rule is to wash it carefully if it fits well. If it fits big, you can freely wash it (un-safely?) and embrace any shrinkage.

                Hey @Graham

                Thanks for the swift answer 😲

                I will post a picture tonight when coming back from work.

                But like you say, tricky to assess the size, for me because of the freaking thickness of the fabric 😲
                Was really not expecting this. But the fabric is incredible.

                Cheers!

                  We got you, man! If we can see how it fits myself, one of the crew or other dudes on here can advise if this sizing is for you, even with any potential washing.

                    @Graham Coming home wearing something loose today and trying again the shirt, I think I might have to size up. I feel snugness in the armpit/shoulders, and movement will make the sleeves crawl up.

                    It does not crawl up by much but the size up is not much cm more in fact, and I might wash with less stress.

                    What do you think based on pictures ? It doesn't look too bad when I look at them myself, but this doesn't remove my feeling.

                    Downside is size-up will add 2 cm in length. Decisions...

                    Edit: I have a IH 6.5oz t-shirt under also, but that's probably how I would wear it mostly

                      I'm trying to decide on the right size before ordering one of these. What size do you have on there? what H/W are you if you don't mind me asking? Looks perfect fit from here, but I hear you on the washing and tight areas. For what it's worth I don't think a few extra cm on the length would be a deal breaker

                        I'm 180 cm and around 75kg, but my shoulders are more large for my size I would say, because I often have to size up because of that.
                        This size is a "M" and the "L" would not add that much on the interesting areas; fit would just be slightly looser I guess before wash

                            @Slash , fit looks good to me, personally and from the look in the pics i would not size up.

                              Strangely from only wearing it a bit for trying, I get the impression the armpit are looser, and don't bother me anymore.

                              shoulders and sleeves feels in fact only "just" when standing. Strangely when sitting I feel I have room enough

                              Still afraid of this eventual shrinking...

                                I would not worry too much about shrinkage as long as you do low temp low or no spin, no dryer.

                                    @DWade Ha ! I've used a different in each post I have made until now, maybe I need to stick to one 🙂

                                    @Twistlock Thanks for the info. The fabric feels really sturdy like it would not move, but from your experience, can it be stretched ?
                                    I mean like stretch out after washing for example like inseam of jeans to be sure not to loose length (I'd do this on the sleeves).

                                      @Slash , i never did try to really stretch my UHF's after wash apart from some pulling them back to form right after the wash. IIRC some forum members did a warm ironing when dried to relax the fabric.
