Shrinkage (2017-03-05)
Having purchased one, and being very happy, I purchased a couple more, and got a half inch larger in the neck. However, the shrinkage is more significant if you wash and dry at home than if you have them commercially laundered (as I did with my first one). Also, these are very thick cotton, so your average household iron just won't do the job (nor can you wear them out of the dryer). Plan on having these commercially laundered, and give yourself a full extra inch on both the neck and sleeves. Still, a great-looking shirt, and I'm wearing one now as I write this---with collar open and sleeves rolled up to my forearms.

I'll be getting a couple more (2017-02-01)
A perfect repro of the US cotton khaki officer's shirt circa 1941. This is a heavy cotton twill. It looks great. Shrinkage was minimal, but I would suggest getting a half inch larger than normal neck size if you plan to wear with the tan tie. I did not find the body too big, as some have. Much admired during its debut at the Pacific Aviation Museum, Pearl Harbor. Shipping from UAE to Hawaii was about a week---pretty good!
