Yes, it will soften. It is technically a coated denim, so it will soften up and mold to your body as you wear it in.

Cheers,

I don't think the XS would work for you. I can wear an XS in J. Crew, but I ordered the small in this and fits me perfectly. I think the XS would probably be either too tight in the chest or too short on you if you can fit comfortably in a J. Crew small.

I got an XL in the mail today. Nice shirt. The stiffness makes it look slightly odd right now, I think.

The perspective makes me look strangely short and dumpy. Not a lot of room to work with inside, though.

I'm 6'2" 190-ish. The XL fits perfect on the shoulders, and has plenty of room in the body without being loose or billowy (it looks tight across the bottom third in the picture, but it isn't; that's just the way the fabric is right now).

Love the design and materials.

EDIT: picture removed to avoid burning anyone else's eyes. Much better picture posted on the next page.

jimmyc is one of my favorite posters on SuFu. I must admit though I'm not really into this shirt at all.

yea so far i've noticed besides the context model. everyone who posted a fit pic the sleeves look really wide i mean the whole sleeve. that look works for those people but it doesn't work for me since i'm tiny.
