I'm XXXL in IH and XXL in MF - but MF sizing is less consistent than IH. Some of my MF shirts are more "generously cut" than others, and the amount of shrinkage varies. I agree sizing MF gear requires more careful study. For example I got a map shirt that looked like a bath robe pre-soak and the amount of shrinkage from a cold soak was quite remarkable. But my Sportsman shirts have not shrunk much at all from cold soak/hang dry. I shoot for 24-25" chest and ~20" shoulders and hope for the best on other measures which usually work out OK if I get the shoulders/chest right.

I've been opting for XXL in most IH shirts (mainly with the heavier flannels, always nice to have some extra room).
It's just weird because I can pull of a large in the MF and IH tees, but tees do have a tendency to stretch a little.
I went for a XXL in the Appaloosa since the cut on it is a bit more trim. I'll see what Christian says, plus I could always exchange if it was too small or too big. -
I'm definitely thinking about picking up the wabash, since I don't own any wabash fabric.
I don't have much experience with MF shirting outside my Appaloosa, so I'm assuming I'd be safe with the XXL and then shrinking it.I just saw the final wabash shirts last week and they came out looking really good. We ordered the wabash and the new super dark appaloosa for the stores, can't wait to get them in.
Also, if you make it into SEMX, we'll be getting the entire Mister Freedom beach collection of shorts, swim trunks, t-shirts, etc.. -
@Broark - where in Austin is MF gonna be stocked? @FormulaPfaff might need to take more frequent trips to Austin!
-
@Appfaff Revival Cycles just opened a shop in the last couple months in the new South Congress Hotel and they're carrying some MF stuff. I went and checked it out and the selection was fairly limited, but they were excited to be carrying the line. Hopefully they have some S/S16 stuff coming in.

@Broark - nice to know!
-
@Appfaff Wabash mister freedom shirt? I'm gonna have to seriously consider that.
-
@FormulaPfaff yep! and a possible stockist in Austin!
-
Nice news to hear @Broark - I checked out the sizing for it as well and it does appear to run much smaller than the Sportsman shirts - maybe workman shirts are my answer!
-
Can't go wrong with some wabby! The understated stitching is what sells me on the MF version. Lo profile cool as Christophe does so well! Let us know how it shrinks, my brother and I may go for matching ones on this as we both also have the SH-62 haha

Can't wait to hear how the XXL works for you - looks like I am in between sizes based on how much these actually shrink… - I too always wanted a flat head wabby, ever since seeing @tvshooter in his back in 2009. Somehow the stars have never aligned for me, and the MF seems to be more my style now anyways. As much as I love the IH wabby, some variance is never a bad thing, and since I have the BLK IH wabby, having some MF indigo version would be nice.
EDIT: I found the old photo i was picturing!

What's everyone's thoughts on the Road Champs?
I've been more interested in engineer boots lately, and I really like what I've seen with the Road Champs.
Seems like they have the profile that I like and some really nice details.
Plus the brown leather looks really nice when broken in.
Assuming there's a waitlist for these I might throw my name onto it…
