[Jord]

Christmas gift from my partner to me, and since it’s Christmas time at IH you know what comes with your order…

@samuellschulman great shirt I love that colourway

[Eza]

@Jord looks like a traveller's notebook calendar?

@cyclops shoulders on the XXL is 19.6

@Eza Chocolate I got some lasts year from them last year too, nice gesture.

@eza @Jett129 thanks, sleeves a bit long but it’s a keeper

Well shirt just arrived and its another beauty. Happy with the fit. Usually im somewhere between M and L in Ih (this is large).

[Jord]

@ugogreevy I know it's different with every item, and even every production run... but I tend to go for the larger size when I have the choice with IH, this looks great on you. I got a large too.

[Aresem]

I find this one is running slightly smaller than my other UHFs, glad I sized up

[SKT]

@Aresem this is good to hear, I sized up too

[cyclops]

@Eza yes thanks heaps, appreciate it

[SashaDBZ]

I sized up to a XL (I have the Watermelon in L).

I tried the L in brown, but it was way too tight around the chest and too short.

The XL feels a little roomy , but it should fit better once it’s been washed right

Appreciate the gift!

[Eza]

@knappman74 hope you got yours!

[Eza]

@Jord I guess they are trying to make sure I dont fit in their shirts LOL

[SKT]

@SashaDBZ you’ll be fine I think. If you want it to shrink just a bit start with a warm wash then hang dry. I wouldn’t start with a hot wash first though.

@Ikeaparty booooooooooo

Sized up to Medium for my first western. Length, shoulders and chest all good but sleeves maybe a bit long and not sure about how much material there is bunching? Risk a 40 degree wash to try and settle it down maybe? The Small will almost certainly be too narrow in shoulders and chest. Such a great colourway, shame to have to return it.

[SKT]

@Jam_Shar warm wash/hang dry will pull all that in. I think it will end up spot on.

Just received mine in the mail. Beautiful colorway - not too loud. This is my first heavy flannel - what is the general census on the first wash? Should I wash it before wearing, or wear it first and only wash once they start to get dirty or smelly?
