FINAL design for the labels of the AB shirts

Recieved my AB yesterday, who's thunk it that something so awsome could come in such a small package.

Tried it on, of course, a little tight in the chest and a little long in the sleeve. When I get home tonight I'll take a pic and post it.

Question to Marc, in the size M & L

Sleeve length from armpit to tip of cuff:

M= /25" - L= 25"

Sleeve length from shoulder to tip of cuff:

M= 28.15" - L= 28.15

These are the same (naturally)

Chest measured on the front from armpit to armpit:

M= 21.46" - L= 22.44"

I'm thinking I might need a large, but I'l wait for the consensus. I'm afraid if I wash it I won't be able to send it back/exchange it.

MARQ wrote:Listen Marc,only thing left out that measurementlist is "shoulderseam to neck", that´s at least what I need for the right fit.
Oh, are the numbers same to the back as they are to the chest?
Armpit to armpit (?) XXL: 60 cm X 2=120cm, to me that seems little tight... Indakin comments,you own one!
New AB vs New TODD`S comparison would be nice :!:

Im 6 2' 210 pounds. I work out alot. My shoulder width is about 20-21 inch at least, chest 44 -46 inchs. XXL Shirt fits me perfectly, i even shrank it slightly in the dryer and its great.

Great shirt Marc. Washed up and looks very good! I got mine Thursday. At 6 ft height, 40" chest, 175 lbs,I possibly could have worn a Med,but I really wanted to allow for any cotton shrinkage. It's actually more "fitted" than most of work shirts. Just Super!!!

Well I am glad you guys are enjoying your shirts. I thought I would have mine by now. I ordered a AB holster and a AB shirt about a month ago and still have not received them. I e-mailed Marc asking if he got my holster in yet. He said he got like the week before and that my shirt and Holster would be shipping in the next few days. Maybe it just takes a while for it to get here oh well, I guess if I don't get it by next week I will give him another e-mail. I am sure it is going to be an awesome shirt and holster, can't wait.

As promised, heres two pics of me in my new AB Indy shirt. I think I'll keep the med. Looking at the measurments again I think if I bought a Lg. it'd be to wide in the shoulders, making the sleeves even longer.

The fit feels great and not as tight as thought.

Hey raider 57, you washed yours, how much did it shrink, cold or hot water. Low heat for the dryer, the more wrinkly, the better.
Spill the details my friend.

Ok pics. First is with both cuffs buttoned, you can see how much extra material is there by the "bunching"

Now the next one is just show that I think some kind of a adjustment needs to be made in the sleeve length. Constuctive critisism only, I love the feel and color, this is so nice I feel like this one I can wear, unlike my NH, I'm afraid to wear it for fear of damage. But I still wear now and then.

So tell me your thoughts and Marc, the sleeve issue is in no way an attack, youdo awsome work and I'm glad I jumped on board. Expect another order some time.

Didn't seem to shrink much with only two warm wash/ hot dryer cycles. Maybe just slightly? It does seem to fit somewhat better, since the material has softened up some.
I also agree sleeves are a tad long, but better a bit long than short! That would really make it unwearable.
Original new Sleeve length from armpit to tip of cuff:
S=60cm/23.62" - M=63,5cm/25" - L=63,5cm/25"
Did a quick check:My size large sleeve length is now 24" armpit to cuff! So I guess it shrank one inch.

Well I got my AB shirt and all I got to say is, it is a very nice shirt. Way to go Marc, just a great shirt.

I am kind of glad I ordered a small, its not too tight, but not too loose. Since I am fairly slender built it works great. Just hope it doesn't shrink too much in the wash, I probably will wash it on cold. Love the color of the shirt, looks extremely close to Noel Howards shirt if not exact. I will try to post a comparison of the AB shirt and the Wested together for those that want that comparison. The Wested shirt is lighter in color than the AB, but it may change after I wash it. I love the breathable cotton on this shirt, different feel than the Wested, Wested is soft, but can be very warm sometimes. I love the shirt Marc thanks so much.
