How's my AA shirt fit?

[Kodiak]

Update: Here it is after a wash/dry. My new Nudies as well!

I just got my AA shirts in the mail toady, and I was wondering how the fit is. This pic is an asphalt shirt unwashed, as I don't want to wash it if the sizing is bad. should I keep the small and wash it?

after wash it will be better (will shrink)

they shrink significantly if you dry them in the dryer instead of hang drying them

You could definitely go a size down, unless you're into the slouchy look.

And if you buy your shirts off the AA website, you should consider using a wholesaler instead-- there are plenty available on e-bay, all of which sell the 2001 model for around $8 after shipping.

Where is that godamned neg rep button when you need it...

Oh, and a quick note: the shirt is way too big for shrinking to help. You'll get about an inch of shrinkage, and the sleeve flares will not lessen significantly. Save yourself the post-wash trauma and exchange them for a smaller shirt.

This shirt fits well in my opinion. If you go down a size and happen to dry it, you might as well throw it away. Stay with the size you have now.

So I should go down to an extra small? I'm worried it'll be too short if I do since i'm 5'11".

go for an XS, its long enough that shirt, you want it smaller

stick to the 50/50's kiddo. they are a slimmer fit.

I'm not sure about the 50/50. The 2001 already fits like a cloth toilet paper roll-- slim and very very long. So it might be advisable to go for a smaller 2001 rather than the slimmer 50/50. I've never actually worn the 50/50, though.

So yes, I would go for the XS 2001. From e-bay, of course.

A shirts shrink like nobody's business, wash and dry it before you think about sizing down.

Post after a wash/dry cycle. I would not go down a size.
