IHSH-130-PB - Purple/Black Ombre Ultra Heavy Western Shirt

[gaseousclay]

Got my purple ombre today and I'm pleased to say that the xl actually fits me. My other UHF's are a size large and those are fitted. The xl gives me a little chest room and I don't think the sleeve length is that bad. I'm sure they'll bunch up over time and i'll lose a half inch. I'm now starting to wonder if I should start going xl on all UHF's. All of my large UHF's measure approximately 22" p2p. This xl is a hair under 23" but my sweet spot would be 22.5".

Ok, I did a warm wash/hang dry on my purple ombré and here are the pre/post wash measurements:

Chest: 23” > 22.5”
Sleeve: 26.5” > 26”
Length: 29.5” > 29”
Shoulders: 18.5” (no shrinkage)

Now it fits perfectly. I may have to reconsider going up a size on UHF’s moving forward. My others are a size large and haven’t been washed yet. I’ll likely cold wash/hang dry those to minimize shrinkage

Great news @gaseousclay. It’s good to have the option to do this when the numbers don’t quite work. I’m pleased it worked out. In my experience a cold wash won’t shrink the uhf noticeably.

I did the same to my 180 with the same shrinkage. But, the 180 measured even bigger than the purple ombré. Looks like I’m gonna have to nuke it from orbit just to be sure. It’s an experiment for me, albeit an expensive one

That’s my favourite Aliens reference so your endeavour is blessed already. Hot washing it will give more shrinkage for sure. If you still have room now after a warm wash, I highly doubt that it will render it unwearable. You may see that the hand of the fabric changes slightly, but if the shirt fits better it is a small price to pay in my opinion.
