@Max:

Decided to keep it. I actually like the looser fit and I'm sure it'll shrink some more.
Love the fabric and the weight. This shirt is so underrated.

You did well. I like it.

Sizing question-
I measured my 2 best fitting button up shirts using IH method.
(My shirts are a size small & medium slim, both made by J. Crew).
On both, the shoulders measure 18" and the chest measurements are 39" & 40" (small shirt with 39" chest fits best). Sleaves are 25".

What size should I get? t
This is my first time ever measuring the shoulders on a shirt, and I've always gone by just the chest measurement in the past.
The small size's chest measurement seems perfect, except for those shoulders.
Is 1" smaller in the shoulders going to be an issue? 
Like I said, I've never done any shoulder measurements in the past, I don't know if there's any room for leeway or stretching, bunching, etc.

I have pretty broad shoulders, and my waist is a true 30"-32" (depending on season ), usually 31".
Do I need to have my shoulders measured?

Get the small.  I think the chest measurement is the most important, unless you regularly feel like your shoulders are going to rip apart your shirts, Hulk-style.  One inch doesn't make that much difference, in my experience.

(shut it, Seul, I know what you're thinking)

Does anybody have info or pics on fade of the charcoal?

Sadly not as only had the chance to wear but a few times, however it is a beautiful fabric. Very understated but with a lot of texture to it and worthy of a purchase.

@Max Power : Any info to report on washing/drying/shrinkage?

[Max Power]

@Chain$titch I only did mutliple hot soaks so far and it shrank a tiny bit. I think there's some more shrinkage in it if you wash it really hot. XL felt very roomy at first, but I'm sure it will be perfect in the Long run. If you're inbetween These sizes I'd recommend the larger size.

Notice that you were not so bold to say Gosport….

[Seul]

I had to choose one…

[Chris]

Seul actually made the bolder statement.  Gosport has lovely ocean views. Mansfield has… remind me- what does Mansfield have?
