Can anyone comment on shrinkage with the Washed Out Chambray Workshirt? Based on the measurements a small will fit me pretty snug (which I want) but if it shrinks in the wash I might be in trouble. Would only wash on cold and hang dry.

Thanks.

I had very minimal shrinkage. I cold soaked and hung dry.

Just as a general warning I find the cut of RT means shirts fit more trim than the measurements would suggest. I always size up when in doubt. You can always order both direct from RT and just return the one that doesn't fit as well.

oh really? that has me slightly concerned as the shirt is on sale and not returnable if i order.

For what it's worth i'm about 5'-8", 145lbs. Wear a small in Epaulet and Wolf vs Goat (before dinner). Anybody able to offer a sizing comparison?

If it's any help, I'm 5'8, 150lbs and the size small in the ISC shirt fits me perfectly.

There will be little to no shrinkage because the chambray has already gone through high heat in both the washer and dryer. -Karl
