      Prepping the “watermelon” for the first wear. I can’t be the only one that soaks the cuffs and the bottom half and then throws it into the dryer. Surely I’m not the only weirdo? This will be the only time the shirt ever sees a dryer.

        @northsouthdenimguy Interesting. Are the openings too large for your taste? Congrats on a banger.

          It really just depends on the shirt. Sometimes when I get 4XL’s the cuffs are just a little large and the length is a bit long

          Edit: just dialing in the fit sometimes I have to do it with the sleeve, shoulders, etc. but I’m weird that way

            @northsouthdenimguy Makes sense. I've tightened up buttons on my UES flannels because the opening was way too wide. I like how IH for the most part has tight cuffs.

                      Note sure why i waited so long to pick up a UHF, the fit, finish and comfort on them is amazing. Been wearing the watermelon man as much as i can! Glad i went with the same sizing as my IH CPOs.

                        My shirt arrived yesterday. Went with the XXL which is the same size as my 12oz Moleskin and 13oz military serge western shirts. The fit is bang on perfect over a heavy cotton T-shirt. Won’t be putting anywhere near a tumble drier!

                        Has to be the shirt of the year!

                                    Bummed lol. Unfortunately slightly too tight on the chest for me. I think XXL is my size.

                                            FWIW, there is an XL headed back to fountainheadNY just around Christmas. I had to size up which i did. Love my new XXL UHF even in the australian summer! Oh and for anyone in OZ, message Corlection, they have a few left in XL i think. Message them to inquire as its not on their website just yet....
