IHSH-332-SAX - Ultra Heavy Flannel Anniversary Check Western Shirt - Sax

Nice one [mention]mclaincausey [/mention] that is a great looking shirt. OT but I saw a Vilebrequin store in St Martin and thought about you. I wanted to cop a pair but my wife shut that down pretty quick.

I basically never use the dryer because I prefer the feel of clothes after they hang to dry. But, I wanted a little bit of shrinkage and post dryer the size feels pretty good! I don't have any measurements, but after two washes (60 and 40 C) and one session in the dryer (70 C) it tighetened up nicely. Nothing major, but sizing definitely feels better now

Can confirm I recently dried a different colored UHF that was a tad big and it fit much better with just a little bit of shrinkage.

There is a major difference between this Ultra Heavy Flannel and all other UHF's, this one has been overdyed, so all shrinkage (or at least all but a tiny fraction) should have already been sorted…...

Oh yes that is a good point  I'll stand down.

Measured the sleeves, and they have shrunk at least 1,5 cm in total. So there's hope for you if you feel that the sleeves are bit long

For me it’s the first one I wear in XXL rather than XXXL - looking at the measurements it almost feels like a previous XXXL due to the shrinkage became XXL labeled and now sits right between.

I finally just ordered a XXL from Berkeley supply. Seems like they still have some more stock in XXL if any ones looking. I’ve typically been a XL in my westerns, but I’ve gained a few new dad lbs so I think it will work. I’m surprised I was able to find any left in stock.

Off-topic. Start another thread for the Ultra Tiny Flannel

Thank you all for the kind words. He's often the best dressed one in the house, thanks to his mom.

Im down for the "UTF" thread ha ha ha.

I just managed to snatch a random large that popped up at one of the authorized retailers. This will be my first IH flannel, so I'm pretty excited. I figured if I'm going to do it, I may as well try the 20th anniversary edition and do it right, lol. You all have a great community here and I'm excited to be a part of it.

Congrats, it’s a great shirt.

You're probably not wrong there.

Well, I received my shirt, and it's definitely a beauty. It's bittersweet though, because the p2p measurements are an inch smaller than what's listed. If it would've been 22", I think the fit would've been spot on. I also have broad shoulders, so even the smallest shrinkage would probably result in it being unwearable. What say you guys? Are the dimensions normally off by that much? I can button the top button, but it wouldn't be comfortable enough to keep that way. I don't know what odds are that I could find someone to trade with me, but spending that much, I'd rather not be on pins and needles about the fit.
