L or XL Patagonia Organic Cotton Midweight Fjord Flannel Shirt

I bought a Large and Extra Large Organic Cotton Midweight Fjord Flannel Shirt during a sale as I was not sure on sizing. Help me decide which one (or both) should be returned. Any thoughts on current fit and expected shrinkage are very appreciated. First two pictures are the XL. It's obviously too big, but I'm wondering how much it might shrink for a better fit. Last two pictures are the L. The fit is good aside from slightly tight in upper back and stomach. I could wear it unbuttoned until I lose a bit of weight. My biggest worry is future shrinking would render the shirt unwearable.

sleeve length aside I think the XL is a better fit - drapes nicer. The L seems to be pulling a bit around your lower back and waist.

If you kept the XL you could take it to a tailor to make the sleeve and body length shorter. That would be my choice.

If you follow the care tags (wash cold, dry low or air dry) it shouldn't shrink noticeably if at all
