It's interesting because I didn't notice much shrinkage in the chest or sleeves, but the length of the T seemed to come up a solid inch on me. I'm just a bit over 6 feet and weigh roughly 150-155 pounds, I bought size small in the T's. After washing the T felt much more boxy, retained it's width but was now hitting an inch or so higher in the mid-section. Personally I wouldn't worry as much about the shirt being too tight after washing as I would it coming up shorter than preferred.
Absolutely correct. I lost a good inch in length but other measurements haven't changed much. Now they are short and boxy which is fine and looks good with my denim jackets.

I have 8 of these T's, they all vary particularly the blue ones, not just in colour but in measurements.
I have two blue ones that have done the short and boxy thing, as you described and the rest haven't at all. I noticed minimal shrink other than that.
The grey ones, I've washed on 40 degree and tumble dried and not noticed any shrink at all.
They are pretty much my favourite T, definitely from a bang for your buck viewpoint. TFH are slightly better quality imo but considerably more expensive.
You can't go wrong really.

They shrink. I went XL same as UHF and prefer the fit after they shrunk a bit.

Yep, I'd agree with what everyone else has been saying. I own five of their T's and they are great T-shirts. I've washed all of mine, many times, on a cold/cold machine wash and hang dry and they have never shrunk. They will shrink if you throw them in the dryer though like @GoBruins said.

I washed mine on a 40 and they definitely shrunk.

Just realised mine are large. Still better after a bit of shrink.
-
27" ish the large measures now.
-
Gutted about these - recently I've grown too big for the XXL - they're a tad too short. Still own 10-12 of them!
What are the measurements of yours? I may be interested

Does anyone have any experience of their type 3 please? I'm considering the shadow denim that's being run at the moment, but the sleeves look VERY short (23.5" in a large, 24" in XL) on the last run. I have a 526od in xl that works great over a uhf or hoodie, but doesn't look great over just a t-shirt. I think this would, if i can get the sizing right. Thanks

I have a black type 3. in short, I think you would be taking a small chance ordering the large over the XL and having it be a bit tight in the chest….. Unless you are more thinking about just wearing with thinner layers underneath, then it will probably be ok. The arms on mine are no shorter than what the arms on my IHxVS T1 are. I did size up to medium in the 316, but have plenty of room in the chest and the sleeves hit right at the same spot as my IHxVS which is a small.
I think there may be a difference in the shape of the shoulder seam which causes the shorter arm measurement because looking at Blue Owl's 316 size chart and comparing to IH's IHxVS size chart the arm length is about 2" different which is not the case with the two jackets I own. Unless they drastically changed the cut/length on the most recent run of type 3's I think the arms will be fine and you should just focus on the chest.

@bloodnthunder thanks a lot for this, very detailed and just what i was looking for. It was the massive difference in the sleeve length between most type 3s (particularly my 526Jod) and the 3:sixteen that was concerning me, so hopefully you are right about the shoulder seems being different.
Was also good to know that you have both and that the arms are roughly the same. I was only thinking of wearing it with a t-shirt, so may well risk the large and hope for the best.
Thanks again, was a big help[emoji2]
