disheveled , so you've sized up from your normal Medium? Many of the fit pics I've seen seem pretty tight, but IHUK guys seem to like it that way. I prefer room to breathe, so would have sized up too, looking at the specs. I bought mediums with only access to Rakuten #'s with inventory dropping fast! Once I saw IHUK's # I knew I was squeezing, and now having tried them on the numbers don't lie--even with a lighter fabric. so the larges on order are going to be perfect, I'm sure |

Just double checked the XL numbers on IHUK and they still look good to me. |

You sure XL won't be too small in the shoulders/chest for you? |

My Med 137s came in today, and the blue is fvcking fill in the blank awesome. Small but awesome  They yellow sewed up smaller, but even still was able to wet my appetite for this color in the right size...a nice alternative to the pure classic blue. So glad RB had some larges left 4hrs later 6am pst after their 2nd release That yellow is seriously growing on me. It looks more mustard maybe?? Not ugly baby poop TS mechanics shirt mustard, but a subtle off yellow. What are your thoughts now that you have it in person? Glad to hear the blue is awesome, I knew it would be. I'm a bit nervous about the size though if you say your usual medium is too small. Nothing like BP shirt. I really like it. stand out with out being flamboyant or over the top. Spring and sun shine on a farm with a thick thighed lady, sums 'er up  |

I feel I straddle the 129 and others, in large for roomy layers, or medium for fitted.
but i cant pull these off in medium--even the blue which sewed up the bigger of the two, just looks like a kids shirt on me

Just double checked the XL numbers on IHUK and they still look good to me. Its so crazy to me how close so many of "us" are in height/weight, yet so nuanced in shirt sizes. 170lbs 5'11" give or take equates to many different real world sizes....Crazy man! like the back of a dollar bill... |

Fine with it being slightly bigger, can't deal if it's smaller. Also < 30" length, but 28" is ideal. |

devastitis Yeah, height/weight #s can be misleading without measurements, fit pics etc. "what size are you?"--loaded question indeed pun, not intended, lol

Weft, hank dyed indigo will completely saturate the threads to the core. In short, warp fades well, weft does not = high contrast fade |

Received my blue 137 today and this thing is tits! XL fits me perfectly and now I really wish I would have ordered a yellow. The colors on this fabric have much more of a faded/vintage look to them than I was anticipating so I can imagine the yellow in person is not as loud as it looks in some of the pics. Love this thing.
if anyone wants to sell a yellow XL then hit me up.

Awesome ickes really glad the size works so well I agree the pictures do the blue no justice, it is special. the herringbone with subtle orange notes--really cool. You got me excited, so Im going to try on my Mediums again |

Damn I would have def been an XXL. I think the XXL would have swamped you in the length (body and sleeves). These are long. I could probably pull an XXL if I could get a bit of shrink out of it which has me tempted to pick up an XXL yellow. |

I'm trying to take some pics to post up but I just can't capture the true colors on my crappy cell phone camera. The orange is coming out much brighter than it is in person. My daughter comes home from Cali tomorrow so I'll try and snap some pics with her camera.
