IHSH-127-V2 - Ultra Heavy Buffalo Check Westerns
-
Notice the many creases in the sleeves of the Medium. This indicates that they are more than long enough. A pic from the side would be helpful in judging the length but it looks good from the front. In my experience, IH flannels don't shrink noticeably when washed at 30deg.

I have 4 UHF,
In 3 different sizes. I will
Say the ones I prefer the most are the tightest fitting ones. The looser cuts serve a purpose (like laying over a heavy long sleeve base in the winter) but the slimmer fits are easier to wear with most pants, especially slimmer cut pants.If you already have a L in the cookie, maybe keep One medium for a chance of changing it up? For me, I don't like the washed out look, so I know mine see a washer very infrequently, and a dryer even less often, plus, I always get mine to get above original Measurements with a warm iron.
It's all preference, but just my two cents.

How exactly do you do that?

Sorry, my phone spaces things weird - I just meant after I use a warm iron to smooth out my UHF s after a wash they have always measured "larger" than they did when new.

Thanks for the quick Response. Haven't ironed mine ever, will give it a try.

@Max Power My size L 127 V1 came out of washer measuring P2P 22.5 (after a line dry) and with a warm iron it's currently at 22.8 FYI, i have gotten significant sizing increases with it.

My vote goes for the Large.

@Strikegold07 what style or brand of jeans are those?

(Now in the correct thread)
I just picked up a green from SE. So soft. I'm glad to have a UHF in my rotation again. -
Went to Statement this afternoon, "just looking".
This is what came out. I simply love how the UHFs feel and the red colour is absolutely awesome!
The sleeves are a lil bit to long but after one wash it will fit perfectly!

Exactly. I love the new sleeve length too. All my shirts became a tad shorter with frequent washing so a little bit more length in the beginning doesn't bother me at all. Looks fine!

Red coming my way

I'd read somewhere on the forum, but can't find it now that @Giles was going to attempt shrinking the sleeves only.
Was this done successfully?

^ Thanks!

What kind of allowances do you guys tend to consider when choosing a size for this shirt?
I've noticed Giles opts for a XL over his usual L. Why for this shirt and the other UHFs?
I'm a chest 41.5
The L size almost seems like a bastard child but it's there and I'm not sure if I should go L or XL.

Sometimes it's just one variation in measurement that means G has to size up, and that variation may not be an issue for you. I think these came up slightly shorter than other shirts for example.
I check chest, then length, then shoulders. Generally I can go 57-59cm in chest, 75-79cm in length and 48-50cm in the shoulders. Anything outside of those parameters is likely to irk me in some way.
