Got my 130 today but haven't had a chance to try it on. My first impression is holy crap, this shirt feels like a blanket. Hoping it'll get cold enough to wear soon.

Ok, i've been able to try the shirt on and it fits like a glove. My only concern is potential shrinkage. I know this is advertised as once washed but the shirt came in a hair under spec in the chest and sleeves. I usually wear a plain white tee under my flannels but I could forego the tee under the 130 since it's so thick.
Overall i'm pleased with the shirt but am now wondering if I would've been better off sizing up to an xl. Either way i'd still buy more IH flannels as funds permit

Ickes' measurements seem close to mine and he wears an xl as well. moving forward I wonder if I should size up on UHF's and stick with my usual size for lighter fabrics |

It's not so much about height and weight for me. I have a 42"+ chest and 18"+ shoulders, and the L is just tight all around, although length is good. XL fits me perfectly at the chest and shoulders, but is a little on the long side. |

Ickes' measurements seem close to mine and he wears an xl as well. moving forward I wonder if I should size up on UHF's and stick with my usual size for lighter fabrics so I think you and I are kind of in the same boat..with me floating between the XL/XXL range on their westerns. I can just give you my experience with it having tried out both sizes. The XL UHF's pretty much fit me like a glove too while the XXL's are roomier and allow more layering. You can get some shrink with a hot wash/hot dry but honestly I would avoid that if possible as it does affect the fabric a bit putting it under those extreme temps. It will still look damn good but it will affect it in a slightly negative way IMO. The UHF's are basically warm enough to where I don't need to layer much at all other than a thin T underneath or possibly even a wifebeater a la' disheveled . Over the past few winters I have discovered that overall I prefer the fit of the XL. If you cold hand wash these and hang dry you will get absolutely zero shrinkage and as a matter of fact, I feel like you even gain a hair in the length from letting them hang dry. I have never actually measured to prove it but it just feels that way. The main thing for me is if the length on the XL is long enough. As long as it is then I am golden with the XL. I have sold off two of my XXL's, replaced one with an XL, and have a third XXL currently for sale. So long story short (or not so short), I would stay with the XL. |

XL fits me perfectly at the chest and shoulders, but is a little on the long side. Got it. I have a 40" chest but my size L sewed up at 21.9" versus the 22.1" listed size. If the shirt puckers that's my cue that the chest is tight. The 130 doesn't pucker but i'm fearful that a cold wash/hang dry will shrink the fabric some |

In my case i'm likely between a L and XL. The specs for the XL's seemed too big for me which is why I stuck with L. Length is also a concern. The length on the L is perfect. The sleeves are fine. They measured at 25.5 even though they're listed as 26.1 |

after re reading though I see you are a L/XL. there is no way I could fit in to a Large....I'm 6', 176 lbs. I don't remember your height and weight or measurements but I would think a L would be too small for you.

The XLs are usually 23"+ across, and I thought I preferred 22"-22.5", but the extra inch or two works just fine for me. Love the fit of the 107 Black in XL much more than the 107 Red in L. |

My 107 Black and 107 Red XL's are easily two of my best fitting shirts. The 107 cut was damn good. Just seemed to have a slight tweak in measurements compared to most all of the other UHF's.

I don't remember your height and weight or measurements but I would think a L would be too small for you. I'm 5'11, 175 lbs (the last time I checked which was awhile ago). I have a 40" chest so that could be it. I've historically always worn a L. If i'm not mistaken disheveled has is similar in height/weight as me but is between a medium and large. Maybe I just have bitch tits ( o )( o ) |
