Yeah I was surprised too. But I measured the same sleeve while the shirt was inside out at the same point on the seam.

One final update for now. So as not to turn this thread into the neurotic filthy shrinkage thread…
Hair dryer shut itself off. So I just put the shirt on the back of a chair right side out in front of the A/C. I don't notice any of the adverse effects McClain had mentioned previously. I would like to get a little more shrinkage so I might hot wash it and run it through the dryer eventually. But I will be in West Virginia as least 18 more days.
Thanks everyone, it was fun.

Thanks, but no thanks.

Your DIY dryer has me cackling @Filthy
I imagine you laying on the bed with the TV volume way up to cover the sound of the hair dryer periodically opening the door to feel how damp the fabric is… At least that's what I would be doing.

Hey Filthy you happy with the up size? Been really debating doing the same. Usually wear a medium in every IH shirt I own but want to wear this as a coat/jacket as well over a hoodie. Reason I ask is I want to upgrade the snaps on it and can’t send back if it’s not good

I bought the black sample in L and I take an XL in everything else. I use it as a shirt and it fits great. I’d go XL to get a hoodie or a flannel under it.

Yeah I am happy I got a bigger size. And it seems like you can expect normal shirt shrinkage of almost an inch out of the length and pit to pit with a hot wash or a trip through the dryer. Also the liner in about a quarter inch thick, so you can subtract an half an inch from the internal shirt dimensions. The shirt is measured on the exterior but the liner makes it smaller on the inside @LeDuc_RW

Kinda what I was thinking. A medium UHF is about spot on with being careful washing it. Figured if I got a large i wouldn’t have to worry about shrinkage on it, would actually want a bit I’d think.

Picked this up at SEPDX today. XXXL planning to hot wash and dry this thing. After my birthday (10/22) of course, it is a gift from my wife.
