Holy crap I almost missed out on the hemi because I had to take a break from the forum last night lol. One thing I notice is the model rocking a medium on these new hemi shirts but normally rocks a large in the other hemi shirts. Are the new ones similar to the nova? I heard you should size down in that one. Can someone help? Lol
Don’t size down on the nova, the nova is the best weight hemi. The rest are too light and due to that are too “float”. The nova has structure and has a better drape because of it

With your build I don’t think sizing down would work. Better to have a little more space than too snug in the shoulders on this. Also, are you talking about the Kingston? That one is similar to the Nova. If you’re talking Butte, that is washed and thin like the Paloma.

Yeah I went with an XL. I’m talking about the butte. Damn I was hoping it wasn’t as thin as the Paloma but either way it’s fire. Lol

Yeah check the description. It’s washed to be super soft. It’s the same as Paloma,Speedway, Cinder, Honey. The Kingston shows as mid weight like the Nova did.

Sized down to a small in the Kingston. I’ll just have to see. Searched the forum and seemed everyone sized down on the Nova. It did ship last night.

Aren’t the Kingston and Butte both the same material as the nova? You can see it in the pics....and Paloma was thinner than the speedcheck, cinder and honey
