yes, the trick is to buy one 3XL go to a tailor and ask him to make 3 out of it :-D

A 26 inch chest on an XL.....Sweet Jesus! If those measurements are in fact correct then my assumptions of needing a large have been confirmed. I think i'll order 1 maybe 2 when i get home this evening

I had a look but closed the browser when I saw the price
$115? One of the cheaper screen-accurate items you're likely to find...
If you have no more summer plans\gatherings, you could always wait until Black Friday.... I know it's 3 months but I'm sure this year retailers will make it worth the wait.
Sorry to bump this folks but any more comments on the how it looks on me? I’m still on the fence about it 8-)
Why does it matter what anybody else thinks ichaice? Surely it’s how you feel about it that’s the important thing?
But seeing as you asked... Personally, I think it’s an incredibly bland piece of clothing, totally lacking in style - apart from that collar that looks like it was something designed for all the grandma’s of the world who like something big and floppy around their necks (Their disappointment is that it isn’t in lace with pretty flowers on it.) The whole nonsense of having to ‘size down 3 sizes’ etc etc shows that it clearly wasn’t designed (I use the word loosely in this instance) to be worn like this.
I’ve got the Barbour Commander and it’s great, but this one does nothing for me. Sooooo...
I think it looks terrible - but that is nothing to do with you personally fella!!!!
The washed Graham is not the one Bond wears.
The collar on the washed version looks terrible, the collar tips are rounded instead of to a point. The material is heavier and has a waxed, slightly greasy feel to it. Looks stained, the color is different...it's faded,
there are more differences than collar studs and snaps as some think are the main difference.
I got an XL. Before washing, the sleeves (unbuttoned) ended at 1/3 of the length of my hands. After washing the sleeve length was perfect, cuffs ended right where they're supposed to. This shrinkage applied to the whole shirt not just sleeves.
Cold washing only if I remember correctly.
So, a (non) update on the Jamaica swim suit. I contacted Craig's stunt double and he doesn't remember which brand the shorts are. Regardless, dude is cool af.

Defo Large for you buddy

Medium chest is around 23 inches or a bit more. Large is 24.5 inches.
I went with a medium and I wear a US 41 or 42.
I have a screen accurate size Medium from the original first run, that is new with tags
if anyone wants it. Asking retail for it -{
What are the shoulder measurements for a M and L?
M is 19 inches
L is 20 inches
What size did you buy and how much shrinkage occurred?
Cold washing only if I remember correctly.
Depends how cold it is
Man what a poor choice of words on my part
