Looking great man! I sent back my XL to selfedge, XXL on the way! Any issue with the sleeve length, Baba-san?

Thanks for the heads up-much appreciated. I've never worn an XXL in anything IH but that's exactly what I'm going to do in this case per both of your advice. Sending back the XL first thing tomorrow.

I've been a consistent XL's in these UHF's for years but this one just seems a tad too tight across the chest. I'm worried that sizing up to a XXL will introduce the issue of sleeves that are way too long even with attempts to shrink them as the XL has sleeves that are already giving an inch or so of extra length. Uggh. Is it reasonable to expect a half-inch stretch across the chest in this XL? ….seems like this one simply isn't in the works for me otherwise.

Really appreciate the feedback! Just wanted to find out if I could make this size work but it seems it’s not in the cards. I’m definitely not comfortable changing the nature of the fabric as you point out. Thanks again!

Quick question IH faithful. How much can one reasonably expect a IHSH 238 to shrink with a hot wash and tumble dry (is this even recommended at a high temp to ensure maximum shrinking?)?

I am normally an XL in UHF Western Shirts at 195lb, 5'10 in height and my wife was able to get me an XXL in these. I've never owned an UHF Works Shirt and I definitely want to keep it if possible.

Much appreciated; that does help a lot.

Thanks guys… new to the IH universe, and I must say, I’m a better man for it! The rest of the shirt fits quite well, if not a tad long in the arms. I thought I read somewhere that some IH denim shirts could shrink a bit  depending on wash temp and dry cycle. I’m not even sure if this is a good idea, hence why I’m posting here to you more seasoned IH veterans. 

Hey all! Quick question… just got mine in the mail and I’m stoked. It’s slightly big in the chest area and I’m wondering what is the appropriate wash/soak combo is to make this shirt shrink a bit. Thoughts  :-?
