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?

[sabergirl]

Warm machine wash, tumble dry.

Thanks a ton!! This helps…though I’m still not quite sure which size to go for…you’re probably spot on with the go a size up advice.

Welp, I’m in the 1600 club!! Pulled the trigger on the XL. Should be a nice relaxed fit.

Looking forward to see fit pics @Mizmazzle

These Tees are amazing. Wearing the Cream today.

They are awesome shirts @Mizmazzle. You’ve made your choice now, but I agree with @sabergirl that XL to be safe is a good choice. I found that the first run of these shrunk appreciably, but later runs have not.

For reference, I use L in these and XL in UHF’s. However I normally go smaller if I think I can get away with it, rather than playing safe.

[weftyarn]

I have all four colors of the new run and barely notice any shrinkage post wash (60deg, low spin cycle).

I can measure my washed XXLs if anyone is interested
I have no pre wash measurements though.

@neph93 I normally wear a Large in UHF and went with an XL in the 1600….hope it fits ok. I ended up buying from Self Edge.....don't want to bash anyone here or anything, but wasn't too impressed with the customer service. Sort of thought at the last minute to just go with my normal size large...oh well, the XL will be just slightly roomier than the Large im hoping anyhow.

I'm wondering if anyone has tried drying on a higher temp to induce a bit more shrinkage?

[jordanscollected]

@Mizmazzle I have dried washed and dried my 1600 on high temp and you get some shrinkage off the bat, but with wear it stretches back out to original measurements IMO.

I am 5'11" 185 lb and wear xl in UHF and I bought an xl in this. It fits perfect in the body for how I want my t-shirts, slightly loose but by no means baggy. I only wish the length was taken up about 1", but I wear it as is.

If you are a large in a UHF, the xl may run a bit big for your liking, but you'll soon know. Self edge has been great CS for me in the past, but I've also heard stories like you stated, where they are nowhere near IHUK level of help.

I look forward to pics.

[Mizmazzle]

@jordanscollected thanks for the info. Yeah, I’ve finally figured out my shirt and pants sizing preferences. Pretty new to the high end clothing game. Tee shirts are another story haha. They are proving a bit trickier to get dialed in. I see IH has two size large left but I went with the XL from Self edge because IH was out of that size. Unfortunately SE’s return policy is store credit only and they don’t have a size large. Haha. I’m juggling here for sure. If I need to send back the XL I’ll have store credit with SE but no 1600 unless I drop another 200 with IH (to meet shipping) to hopefully snag one of the Larges before they sell out…eh, who knows. Only the good folks of this forum could possibly understand this dilema haha

[Mizmazzle]

Well, this is how awesome IH is….told them of my delima. They let me buy the 1600 in a size large and are holding it for me until I can confirm if the XL is the right size or not.

Highest quality clothing, impeccable service, perfect styling...They sure are making it seem illogical to buy/ wear anything besides IH.

[sabergirl]

I don’t bother buying new IH products anywhere else! They’re the best.

I’m pretty sure you’ll find XL to be a good fit.

Giving the 1600 some love. Still my favorite Tee!!

[jerkules]

Looks great, they really are perfect T-shirts. Just grabbed an olive myself  still not brave enough for the white..

[weftyarn]

Thanks @jerkules The Olive is my most worn of the quartet! It's definitely the one I would keep if I had to chose!

Paired the White today with my fresh 888 Ducks. Perfect combo.

That looks like a perfect fit.

If you don’t mind me asking … what are your measurements?

[weftyarn]

Thanks @Brandrea

No problem at all, here you go:

1,93m / 93kg
Long torso, long arms, some Covid pounds too much but it’s well
spread, so no pronounced belly to cover

Wearing an XXL, mainly for the length (> 70cm is always what I aim for with tees)

Could probably go for an XL for a really tight fit, if one with enough length could be found.

But I am 100% happy with the fit on the XXLs.

Hope this helps?
