"If it doesn't fit…."^^^
Monday, you are hilarious.
More thought, less machine is my advice in general. It's the easiest way to prevent HUMAN ERROR!

For a long time I thought I was washing with cold water and my stuff was always shrinking. Turns out the valve was only allowing hot water for some reason. Wish I figured it out earlier.
-
That's why I recommended a few times to buy the UHFs a bit oversized. Some shrinkage will occur, even if I washed my 72 in 60 degrees and didnÄt get as much. But then I never use a dryer - from what I've read these lead to crazy shrinkage in many cases. Just handwash and hang dry.

Measured both today after a full day wear and stretching each, seems the red only shrunk width wise, and the grey shrunk mostly length wise. Intriguing, as it's the same cotton and pattern, maybe the dye had something to do with it.
-
Yeah a USA clothes dryer will shrink the fuck out of clothes if you aren't careful.
I cold washed mine and hung to dry and got minimal shrinkage but it made the material fairly coarse. I kinda liked it and now that's it softened back up, I like it even more.

I went xxl in both with no problems. I like my shirts fairly fitted. Both are good for me.

I ended up picking up an XXL in green and I really like the way it fits

This is the best flannel in the world. It is not a shirt, it's a wearable work of organic aspero fiber art.
Big chunky snaps
Not going to wash it until I'm old and grey

I washed my grey on a 30 degree wash and have got a fair amount of shrinkage. Doesn't matter to me, in fact might even make the fit better but any of you on the edge of them being too small be careful!
-
I think I may experiment with sizing up on my next UHF. I really prefer being able to hot wash and tumble dry absolutely everything (lazy). The length and arms of my 130 are making me feel like I need to baby it.

This is the strategy I have used the past two years on the UHF's and it works great for me. You can get plenty of shrink out of these, at least on US washing machines/dryers, especially in the length and sleeves.

How about shoulders? That's the only thing that's turned me off from it thus far…

No shrink in the shoulders. My green 127 XXL was 19.25" pre wash and 19.25" post wash. This was a cold/cold wash cycle and medium heat dryer cycle. If you went with hot water and a hot dry I'm pretty sure you can get some shrink out of the shoulders.
