Spent the day with this and happy to report it is the perfect fit, it was tight in elbows which seems to have already started stretching out. Such a nice shirt stoked to have one!

[Josso]

This is the XXL on me, worn with just a t-shirt underneath. I’ll be layering it through the winter with a henley thermal or a thin hoodie, and I think the fit allows for that. Maybe the XL would look a bit sharper, but it would probably be too tight in the chest. It’s already a little snug under the arms, but I think that will ease up with wear. Loving the details on this one!

Edit: I actually packed it away — turned out mine was one size too big according to my wife. Luckily there were still a few left in XL, so I’m really looking forward to getting it swapped for the right size. Sending my return package tomorrow. Cheers!

Elbows, forearms and underarms see tighter than normal but hopefully they will loosen on wear. Good that it’s a trimmer cut though

[Richard]

I find the garment softens, considerably, but doesn't stretch.

[jordanscollected]

@Josso the arms stretch for sure. Maybe just get the XL too and have both.

@Tobi love the stage of evo yours is in. So much indigo shinning through.

[Tobi]

@Mizmazzle really my favourite CPO at the moment! Also love the fact that with the OD I dont have to worry about shrink when washing...

[Tobi]

@Cskarev perfect fit if I ever saw one!

[Mizmazzle]

@Tobi do you soak it before washing?

[Tobi]

@Mizmazzle yeah.. brief soak.. short wash no spin. Still get some limited marbeling, but washed perhaps 3 times now.

[Fjcooper]

Apologies for asking a perhaps ignorant question, but does this shirt fade from OD black to some version of blue? Assuming very limited washing and no particular interest in encouraging fades etc.

[Fjcooper]

Very helpful, thank you. Is there some adjacent interesting option where the fade is not so pronounced, or doesn't even exist? Would that be something like below, which admittedly is a work shirt and not a CPO etc?
