I usually wear an Xxl and originally tried an xl and it fit but for wearing this as a jacket over perhaps another heavy, I ended up staying with a xxl. The fabric is very soft so I didn’t notice much like longer sleeves. I could have gone either way.

I couldn't resist... Watermelon and this shirt for the win this season. The yellow is the best part on it.

@rudy FYI in case this helps with choosing your size

Thanks and it does!

@catdad1 missed that. Thanks very much

So what is the official word on sizing on this from those who bought it. If I wear an xxl in heavy flannels and want this to fit as an overshirt do I stay with xxl? Just the shoulder width is larger and boxier fit has got me in limbo.

Well thank you to the one who returned the Xl as woke up this morning to one XL so took the shot.

@Steve It does thank you. I think I am out of luck on this one unfortunately though as I would be an Xl! Maybe next run. Thanks for confirming

@rudy you'll be happy with a 2xl in this shirt. I am an xl in all of my IH shirts and i take an xl in the 1600 and thought i could possibly size down, it would be far too snug.

You were right on this. xxl was perfect and I would not have wanted to go any smaller

The only STF item I have is the Sashiko blazer in an Xl. I have compare the two in sizing but still confused as they are different fits in shoulders versus arm length etc.. Does anyone know if you are an xl in the blazer would you be an xl in this jacket, or would I size up.

@Ikeaparty Thanks and will do!

If I am an xxl in the 6.5 ounce shirts would I do the same in these? As I buy for a bit of shrinkage and people say these don't shrink I am not sure.

@Jakederoche Thanks!

How close are these to the 18 oz Vintage Selvedge?

First pair of Wesco boots and am blown away how beautiful they are! Thanks Iron Heart

@rudy I know we can all feel the frustration of this situation. I’m willing to bet, though, if you keep wearing them…like ALOT, they will become your faves. Those blotches will smooth over. Your combs and whiskers will take form,,,one day you’ll ask yourself, “how could I live without these beautiful bastards!?”

Haha you're likely right. I will likely go from like to love at some point. But just as a note for our friends at Iron Heart.....I would buy a grey pair of 21s too

@GraemeE no those are not mine. That said mine did look like that for a bit but they have faded past that awkward part. I saw those on Grailed as well as the guy says it looks worse in the camera and can confirm. The camera brings out the blotches for sure. What I have been doing is putting them in the wrinkle free cycle on the dryer which is essentially just steaming for 20 minutes. I have gone from borderline hating these jeans to liking them in the last week.

Yeah I wasn't sure if that was a typo or not

Haha they are in the dryer so hopefully that wasn’t as he was pretty firm on that

Sounds good will do and thank you

Hey all. Strange question I know but I love my 777 fade to grey as far as comfort but not a fan of the fading process and look. Wondering if there is a way to get them to fade to grey quicker and get rid of the blotchy fades in them at the moment. Thanks.
