Hey folks, looking for some support here with a fit check, on my ongoing quest to try and secure some short sleeve IH shirts.

After being in between sizes in the 359 (XL too small, XXL too big) I switched over to these 386s, as could see their XL dims were larger than the 359.

Here are pics of me wearing the 386 in this colour - what do you think? My main concern is the chest area and how you can see the shirt under slight tension when buttoned up. This was the largest chest dimension that was in stock in the XL at the time of purchase.

My regular shirt/UHF size is XXL, with some rare exceptions of XXXL. If I went up to XXL in this then I think that would resolve the chest issue, however, overall will very likely be too big.

Also thinking about the future and an inevitable wash which may mean some additional albeit very minimal shrinkage?

I am also totally open to that fact that I may be totally seeing this the wrong!

Thoughts from the community most welcome. Also posted fit pics of the other colour of this 386 in the appropriate thread. @goosehd open invitation to continue on this short-sleeved journey with me I think this fits better than the 359 XXL?

IMO it looks decent, and maybe without a tee underneath it would give you a tad more wiggle room?

I had the same problem, I finding the right fit in the green which was my first choice. I had to switch to the red as the measurements just works out better for me. I’m right between an XL and XXL in size.

The chest is a bit tight but if I sized up the body would be too baggy.

I had Josh measure a few and I was surprised by how much difference there was between the posted sizes and the actual measurements.

@Brandrea thanks for your input mate, and sounds like you have been through a similar issue.

I can’t remember the last time I didn’t wear a white tee under a shirt - the very thought scares the shit out of me

@long_john86 true enough and same here LOL

@long_john86 I responded over in the Red thread my thoughts which also apply here.

Large is my normal IH top size. Went with a medium on this one per the measurements listed and glad I did. I am liking the trim fit. Could have got away with a large too. I am Loving the fabric and vibrancy. Looks great on Black denim. Thank you IH crew for working with me on my size match

@Nittpics looks great and love how the “W” pops on the green.

I just picked this up today brand new from elsewhere as no longer available here in my size. Blown away by it. Again, relatively new to IH but this is my 3rd item and just love it.
Got it in a L and it's actually quite roomy and I am not a small guy. Such a lovely fabric.
