          Ok, less of a question, more overall sizing advice. Not an immediate concern but will be soon enough and really want to avoid a screw up at improper time.

          Looking to move on some IH shirts over the next couple months. However my lanky build is making sizing possibilities a bit tricky. Most shirts I could wear a small based on measurements and would fit great. However accidental shrinkage could easily push them to unwearable. A medium would be a touch more than I'd like in the chest, but would be more forgiving in length if it shrank a little.

          Curious as to how the regs would handle such…throw down on the small and cold wash, air dry, and always pray? Or sacrificing perfect fit in order to maintain needed length with a medium? I know material needs accounting too...

                @Chris:

                Just realized they don't ship outside the US, and you're in the 51st state.  Let me know if you need a proxy…

                Thx Chris.!
                Shipping to Can isnt an issue. I live in a border city and have a US address about 10mins away. Just gotta check what they accept for payment. Some companys wont accept a Canadian credit card (bullshit). Thats the only prob i have sometimes

                JDL- its always easier to shrink a shirt then it is to stretch one. Prob better to go medium and shrink it on purpose to fit u. Shrinkage is def gonna depend on the material tho

                  Isn't most shrinkage going to come out of the length? How much could I realistically see in the chest? It's likely the better option, just curious.

                    I lost about .6" on the chest of my 75. Only one i really paid attention to. But im sure .3 -.5" would be normal

                      JDL-I can wear a sm med lrg & XL . The smalls and mediums get a warm wash, pull to shape and hang to dry. The rest get no special care. Just be careful not to accidentally dry the ones fit out of the bag ! That being said I like to buy them big enough to wash and dry. It's a lot work to handle a load of wet Iron Heat gear.

                        Thanks gentlemen…sounds like mediums will be the way to go. I really didn't want to screw up as my first is likely to be one I wouldn't get another shot on

                            I got a pair Redwing Engineers on the way, just wondering what is the smallest hem that will work with them? Got a feeling that my tapering and always going for 8" hem is going to bite me in the arse with these…

                              I can wear my 555's with my Viberg engineers if that help mate , they have an 8.3" hem.

                                You should be ok with an 8" hem. I can just get my boss's under my tw666n's which measure 8". But there is no way it could be any smaller.

                                        You good on this @Finn666 ?  Sorry not on as much as i used to be, always easier to send me an email or PM as i don't have my notify on if someone does the @ with my name. Good to offer assistance @DrBabyhorse . Cool stuff

                                        Here's my question of the moment:
                                        Any other cuts being released in the 19oz left hand denim?

                                        I noticed the 666 cut seems to be catching fire over in Japan (sorry not a questions just something i noticed  ;D)
