IHSH-402-NAV - 12oz Ultra Heavy Flannel Chalk Stripe Work Shirt - Navy

[Slash]

@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

[Travis2375]

Im an inch taller, same weight. Cant decide on a M or a L, I feel your pain. Your pics help though, thx

[Twistlock]

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

@Twistlock Thanks for the input man !
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...

[Twistlock]

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

@Slash The face put me over the edge today LOL. Although I get it and would do the same but with now taken, I’m thinking or ……..thoughts?

[Slash]

@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).

[Twistlock]

@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.

@Twistlock OK good to know, and thank you again for the infomatons.
