      how did you size on your henley from Pistol Lake? I'm eyeing the burnt taupe organic cotton henley but wasn't sure on sizing. I'm thinking i'd stick with my usual size large which I wear for tees

      I'm a Large on Pistol Lake henleys.  For reference Im a solid XL on most IH western and work shirts.

      I also recommend pistol lakes.baseball t's.

      thanks. I'm a large in IH tops and based on the PL size chart i'd probably have to go down to a medium. do you find the henleys to be acceptable length, or do they seem long? i'm afraid the length on a large would be too long at 5'11.

        Relatively speaking these shirts are on the longer side and I love that.  One of my biggest pet peeves in the world are shirts that come up too short.  To me these hit the sweet spot….they have some good length to them but aren't so long that they look like pajama shirts....or those new trendy super long T shirts.  What's up with that btw?  Oh well, that's for another thread.

        I'm 6' for reference.

          I like my shirts to hit just below the belt. Any further than that and then we're getting into Gustin dick curtain territory

            Then I think a Large might be too long for you.

              Yes!  I've picked up 4-5 tee shirts recently and all of them came down to my mid-thigh.  I absolutely hate it.

                So BBC says in this article - http://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-40498292

                "to grow 1kg of cotton consumes the amount of water you've drunk in your lifetime"

                &

                UK washing load - 6kg (13lb) of fabric - can release:

                140,000 fibres from polyester-cotton blend, nearly half a million fibres from polyester, more than 700,000 fibres from acrylic.

                So I have a question - How true is this?

                P.S> - I have tried hard, but I can't seem to add a hyperlink in this one. I add the URL within the square brackets as indicated, but it is not working. Any idea why?

                  With regards to the fibers 'fact' I would be curious to know their definition of what constitutes a fiber.  Obviously it's not what you immediately think about as a fiber, as if that was the case this person's claims would mean every time you do laundry you pull out a mound of polyester tatters.

                  With regards to the growth of 1KG of cotton.  That sounds like something Donald Trump would say.  #fakenews

                    Usually, I wouldn't take such reports seriously. But then this is BBC and they come with a lot credibility, IMO.

                    As for the definition of fibres, I also wonder if everyone who wears a pair of synthetic swim shorts leaves behind a trail of such fibres.

                        Hey G, I know it's a ways off but any rumblings from H about shorts for S/S. Mine are going to be shot by the end of this season and I'm trying to decide if I should pick up some end of season deals now or wait for an IH in the spring.

                                Those were a Japanese only release. We were using up some sub standard denim. It was easier to make shorts from it than trousers….

                                    Have you considered chicken-legging some 814's. They make amazing shorts.

                                            I feel like I've seen someone attempt to do this on these boards before.  I would imagine 3" is venturing into the realm of permanently damaging the fabric to get that much stretch though.
