IHSH-237-BLK - Ultra Heavy Flannel Crazy Check Western Shirt - Black

@Dion - if its possible to size up the i'd do it. This course of action will negate washing worries . . .

@Dion I'd size up. It looks trim and you will have to be super careful with washing it like this. Other than that it looks great on you.
-
@alexswords looks fantastic on you.

It looks great as-is, but you’ll have to be really careful washing. Since I don’t have a careful bone in my body for flannels, I would size up to be able to machine wash and dry. I think if you hand wash and line dry, the sizing is great.

Finally I could take some fit pics and I started to doubt whether I've sized wrong. I was opting for a trim fit but dunno if it's too small on me now. What do the UHF gods think? Is it a keeper?
I think after like 2 washes, its going to be way too small on you. I always account for that.

I am loving this flannel. The pattern. The feel. The weight. The heavy-duty snaps. I can't wait for it to cool off in Tennessee.
I'm a bit concerned about losing length after my first wash. A question to the UHF veterans around here: What sort of results have you gotten doing a machine wash followed by line drying? I am hoping to be able to do a cold machine wash on the gentle/hand cycle (no spin) and line-drying. Would that be sufficient to avoid unwanted shrinkage, or should I just hand wash in the sink?

I have yet to use a cold machine wash on my UHF’s but in the future I might. I did wash two of my UHF’s on a warm machine wash/hang dry twice and got about a half inch of shrink. If your UHF is smaller than you’d like then a cold hand wash/hang dry might be better

This is basically what I do, and I have experienced zero (or negligible) shrinkage. I tend to treat them the same as I do denim. I turn them inside out, wash on gentle setting with minimal spin cycle, and hang dry right side out, under a ceiling fan, from a large coat hanger. This seems to facilitate effective moisture evaporation through the UHF. I can’t back this methodology with any type of research or data analysis, but it works so I keep doing it [emoji1787]

Friendly FYI to the forum members…I sent my XL back to IHUK late last week so it should be back in stock here in the next few days I would guess. Keep an eye out if you're looking to cop one.

Here's me, in L. Im not wearing any undershirt, so it will be a bit small on me layering with it.
Crazy im an XL these days. I used to weigh 135lbs 4 years ago.

From the photo that looks like a brilliant fit. The length in the body and arms is perfect whereas on an XL I think it would be too long.
What do you want to layer with? I wear a-shirts or tees with mine.
EDIT: looking at the photo’s again I can see it is a little trim over the shoulders and you’d need to be careful with washing. Still looks good to me though.

Yeah the shoulder dont line up to where my shoulder breaks. I usually wear a heavy tshirt or long sleeve. Also i like it a bit longer, so i think the xl will work.
It looks ok, but it feels a bit snug on me with no shirting on.

Finally snapped a picture of the new shirt yesterday
Still love the fit on this shirt. Everything seems to fit just right. Hopefully it won't shrink when I cold wash.
