@cesco10 Damn that’s a good looking shirt! What size are you wearing here?

Thank you a lot Sir! I’m wearing size S

[paymar]

@cesco10 Do you typically wear a small and how does it fit your other UHFs?

@SEAK Kid damn straight, and looks amazing with the OD CPO. Mind me asking where you are? The landscape behind is absolutely stunning.

[SEAK Kid]

Thanks @jerkules, I'm currently back in my hometown Homer, AK.  Definitely loving the UHF's this time of year!

If anyone's interested I just took some pre and post wash measurements. I have 3 other Iron Heart shirts that are all mediums but this one I ordered in large with intention of shrinking. I requested a shirt that was on the smaller side in the shoulders and arms.

The shirt was washed warm and tumbled dried hot.

| | Pre (inches) | Post |
| Shoulders | 17.75 | 17 |
| Length | 29.25 | 28 |
| Chest | 22 | 21.5 |
| Sleeve | 26 | 25 |

Fortunately it shrank the perfect amount. I love the shirt and it makes me wonder why I would buy any other brand. It's so warm it almost feels like wool.

Did the chest and shoulders stretch back out after wearing it?  I found that to be the case.

Finally picked this up from SnakeOilProvisions. Been wanting this since they released the F/W line back in mid to late summer and it quickly is one of my favorites. I’ll post some pics soon.

Looks fantastic! Thanks for documenting. Always useful.

[paymar]

Wow. I love this shirt! The fit is spot on and the colors are just fantastic.

What a magnificent shirt. My favorite UHF of the season.

[neph93]

@paymar  @Griffwald both doing this bad boy justice. You both make me want to break my no new shirt rule.

@neph93 if the awkward work bathroom selfie doesn’t do it for you I don’t know what will ‍️

[Rangadello]

I could use some fit check advice here. I'm torn… Do I go with L and hope it doesn't shrink too much, or go XL and hope it shrinks quite a bit?

Keeping with the bathroom selfie theme here...

I generally prefer a slimmer fit… I'm also packing a few extra pounds these days, which isn't terribly flattering.

The XL looks big as it is. The arms are certainly overly long and the body is getting there. It will shrink with a hot wash, but even then it may be borderline large.

The L looks better. While these will shrink on hot washes, careful washing results in minimal shrinkage (less than 3%). In fact if you wash at 30C/cold and with little or no spin, then air dry you won’t get any noticeable shrinkage.

I’m not too sympathetic to folks concerns about shrinkage on these shirts. It is a known quantity and entirely controllable. The only difficulty comes from people not understanding how a washing machine works.

Tl/dr. If I was you, I’d be very happy with the L.

[Dmart]

Size L if you ask me. XL looks too big in my opinion. As Neph said, you can control shrinkage a lot by cold wash/not hot wash.
