IHT-1600-WHT - 11oz Cotton Knit Crew Neck Short Sleeved T-Shirt - White

[jordanscollected]

@Piratedoc my advice would be to size down if the chest works for you, as the body on the xl is pretty long. I f I could size down in the chest to a large, I would for the body length alone.

I ordered true to size to my UHFs (XXL) and they fit great.
I have enough room in them but not to the point where they look oversized.

I would have considered sizing down for a tight shoulder & chest,
but the length doesn’t allow me to.

So I really think it depends on what your „critical measure“ is
and what fit you are looking fore. Hope this helps.

Cheers

I’m in the minority here, but I wouldn’t size down in this fabric. It barely stretches, and I have a hard enough time getting it on and off as it is.

I second this

Sizing down can be a bit subjective, though. I take these in XXL. I take workshirts in XXL, as well. But, westerns are a size up for me, to XXXL. So, technically, I do size down, subjectively…

[Oaktavia]

Haha well we do all have different bodies as results vary. I have found the IH crew measurements be useful when in doubt.

My number one hate with T-shirts is when the neck hole is too big - this thing sits just right. I went for my usual UHF size (XL) which I need for the length. It’s easily the best T-shirt I’ve ever worn. I’d never normally consider a T-shirt in this price range. It’s testament to just how good it is that I’ll likely grab an olive as well when I can. I’d love the white or cream, but I’d be too scared to wear around my kids…

[Oaktavia]

I love the white and the cream Ines too but I'd be too scared to wear them around myself.

[weftyarn]

That is an awesome fit, @jerkules

I can only second you - the price tag was a line for me too,
but once l crossed it and put the tee on…. my goodness.

I have the Cream and White too,
but Black & Olive are Spaghetti Bolognesable and Kebabable, if you know what I mean

[jerkules]

Thanks @weftyarn  I guess with the white/cream, you could always have a fun indigo project if the worst did happen! I love a white tee, but against my wishes I have to treat them as somewhat disposable. My 18 month old is a messy beast…

[jerkules]

Love that red W poking out. Don’t want to take the T-shirt off.

Spring weather means more 1600 time. 5'11" 185 wearing size XL.

[weftyarn]

Awesome, @jordanscollected

And I totally agree - this tee makes spring even better. And spring is already my favorite time of the year.

Took the 1600 with me on our trip to Mallorca - this thing is really hikable!!

Looking forward to rock these all summer!

I’m about to pull the trigger on one of these bad muthatruckers. I’m just really torn on sizing. The XL seems perfect if there is that 1.5cm of shrinkage. The large (which is my normal IH size seems a bit small). Guess I’m wondering what folks are seeing on the shrinkage scale…

[sabergirl]

Not much shrinkage, but almost no stretch either. If in doubt, go larger IMO

Ok. That’s great advice @sabergirl
Selfedge has an XL in stock. Their measurements seem slightly trimmer than what IH has posted and are about perfect for me I think. The L on IH seems like it might be a bit too small in all dimensions EXCEPT length which is the only one that seems a bit long on the XL at selfedge. Such a tricky decision.

[sabergirl]

Self edge measures differently. I would trust the IHUK measurements

Hey @sabergirl one last question…that “not much shrinkage” you’re getting, is that on a low heat or a hang dry?
