Does anybody have any experience with them? Specifically, how do they fit, and do they shrink if washed and thrown in a dryer?

Thanks much

Well, I've owned about 20 total, and I've never had any major shrinkage that I could tell. I've noticed that the shirt is a bit short for my liking, so I wear a tall, maybe it's just me, because the shirt would sometimes come un-tucked when I moved a lot or when I was running, that's the only thing I've noticed. These shirts are VERY good, I've had my latest set of larges for approximatly a year now (I buy three at a time, that way I can wear one almost every day) and it's held up very well, no complaints what-so-ever.

Ditto. These shirts are made of "iron".

Best regards

I have TWO of these great shrits. They arn't the same as the ones that were made a few short years ago that were manufactured here in the States... but it's still a darn good shirt.

Few months ago I wrote a review of the Cabela shirt, some of which I have to retract because it's NOT a summer shirt. The poly-blend doesn't let it breath and it gets kind of swampy in humid weather. This is the best IndyShirt for hiking in these summer months.

I have one and have put a lot of use in it. I have washed it in the sink and hung it to dry and it's ready to go the next day. It has started to show some age which really gives it the "adventure" look. Great shirts.

The best field shirt I've owned in the past 20 years.

Mine is about nine months old, and has been hit pretty hard from wear and tear, and has been dyed (and subsequently re-dyed a few times) black, but it's still one of a few things you can pretty much count on me wearing when I'm out and about.

Heh, this may help to illustrate what I dork I am, but I can' t really tell if the shirt has been shrinking or if I've been getting bigger. I've been training pretty hard lately (mostly just to stay quasi-sane with a boring job), and I've gotten back into serious weightlifing for the first time in a few years, now. I'm quite a bit stronger in the shoulders and chest than I was a few months ago, and that might have manifested itself in the need to invest in another order to L.L. Bean.

Be that as it may, I shall wear the new shirt with pride.

Let's be careful out there.
