said in The Flat Head:
Any chance you've washed it and made a note on if it shrank?
just washed and machine dried (gasp!) mine
didnt take precise before and after measurements, but maybe lost an inch in length (exactly what I wanted and was expecting) and maybe at most ~.25" in width that im sure will stretch back with wear.Dunno if there's a buco thread that this should go in instead?

@DeeDee85 I nearly pulled the trigger on a western flannel this season, but couldn’t get past the body length. Unfortunately just too long for my taste. Love everything else about them.
-
@pechelman thank you very much for the info, good to know that going forward!
@Brandrea the same thing that’s put me off.. I’m only 5’10 but quite broad shouldered so would be a 46 in the flat head flannels. My IH shirts are fairly long and most of the flat head flannels measure at least an inch or two longer, I just don’t think it will work. I’m going to try and get to Rivet & Hide over the Xmas hols and try some on so I’ll take some pics and let you know how long they seem when wearing? Pretty sure we are a similar size aren’t we

@DeeDee85 Thanks in advance and I hope it works out for you!

I wear size large in iron heart large western UHFs. I feel like that puts me between a 40 and 42 in the block check flannel work shirts. What direction would you go?
-
@Kasi where did you get that from?
-
@samo I‘m normally wearing an M in IH shirts and the 40 is slim on me. I‘d probably go 42 if I were you.
-
@twin I think open but I‘d be lying I didn‘t say both
-
Both. Zipped up all the way to the neck if it’s cold too.
-
@BalticBob I wear it open when not so cold. Closed when cold outside.
