      I think I too would fit the L better out of the box but I'm counting on the bit of shrinkage that will come with wash over time.  I went for the XL in the western though I was all betwixt and between with the work version.  It's good to have hard choices like this.

        I will go with a tagged L.
        Think about the UHF’s are thicker 😉

          To all the UHF pros, how much does the chest and shoulder shrink after a few washes?  I'm usually a size medium in all IH shirts, but I worry the UHF will shrink to the point that it starts pulling at the snap buttons.  Then I would just look silly.

          If you wash on 30C and air dry then there will be zero to minimal shrinkage. If you wash hotter you will lose around 1cm/ half an inch in the chest and shoulders. More in length. The safe bet would be to buy a large and hot wash it. I personally take the same size and wash carefully.

          Either way use the compare function and check the dims against an IH shirt you own. These come up a shade smaller than many IH shirts, so L may be best anyway.

              You have no idea how much I am looking forward to this 🙂

              Placed a beast of an order….Just crossing my fingers that my girlfriend will be working when its delivered.

              Not that it would cause any problems---but in these Rona times, less is more--as in drama.

              Is it wrong that we are in month 7 of 2020 and I still have a few items left on my " To Buy" list?

                              Even if its only in the early mornings–or late evenings when it cools off...this one will fit right in.
                              It looks very " Californian " 🙂

                                That’s around 26 Celsius… perfect UHF weather 😂.

                                  You’d do well in northern Norway. Folks here wear shorts because the calendar says May. The average temp in May is 7C.

                                  Gives a whole new meaning to aspirational dressing.

                                      @neph93 there should be a program where people in cool cimilates can switch houses with people in warmer climates in order to wear the clothing they desire. If I had my way, I wouldn't ever wear shorts, but I say that as someone who could probably wear them year-round.

                                        Interesting idea… I'd probably decline. I tend to have a holiday in a warmer climate once a year. The only reason for doing that is to experience a different culture, food, scenery, food and food. The temps are largely irrelevant. Because food.

                                        As far as shorts are concerned it is one of my favourite things about Norway that I can avoid them entirely. I deeply fear global warming, not least for the havoc it will wreak on my comfortable short-less existence. The closest I come to shorts is rolling up my IH-814's. This only happens if the temp is over 25C.
