@Giles I sent you a PM in the hopes that you can grab one for me in Japan. Fingers crossed.

Anyone washed and low dried one of these? Curious about the shrinkage on it. Thanks.

I’m a few days late with this review, but I managed to snag the last XXL at Burg Und Schild, and I’m really happy with it. Burg Und Schild got it shipped out fast, and it arrived safely in the USA a few days later. The fit is a little different on this one; the body is cut a little larger in circumference, but the shoulders, arms, and chest fit like a typical XXL. I didn’t want to size down because of arm length and circumference, and it’s a good thing I stayed with my normal size.
The arms are perfect in length and width, and the shoulders fit well also. In a perfect world, the body would be an inch or so narrower, but somehow the fabric drapes in a way that keeps it from looking too big. The fabric is also very easy to wear in spite of its weight, and I don’t find it restrictive at all. It’s a keeper for sure!
There were two must haves in this release - the Orange UHF and this camel Corduroy. I feel fortunate to have snagged both.

Just got mine. Was lucky to find my size still in stock and got it on sale to boot. Took my normal IH size and glad I did. Fits great. Roomy but not oversized. I think sizing down would not have worked for me as the pits would have been too tight (as others have pointed out). Really like the feel and weight of this. I was also pleased that the color is a darker brown than in some of the photos I have seen. Love this one.

@Newcomer I don't know if this will be helpful to you or not, but I gave mine a cold machine wash (delicate/low spin cycle) and hang dry just to get the new smell out. I was not trying to shrink or to test shrinkage so I didn't take any measurements. I noticed the length and sleeves shortened a little. The chest, waist, and hem also tightened up a small amount. Nothing drastic but enough to be noticeable. I had room to spare so this small amount of shrinkage actually made the shirt fit better on me.
I'd avoid the dryer completely unless you want some extra shrinkage.

@Nobunaga I did exactly the same and got similar results, including the better fit. Great drape on this one.
