Does anyone know if chambray work shirts shrink after wash?

I'm in between Medium and Large. Medium fits me right but after wash I think it will shrink a bit and it will be a little bit of tight fit.

But size large fits little bit big on me. I don't know what to choose..

Does this mean you don't like me either?

If you want to have a buying contest we certainly can?  I guess I should establish my "privilege" beyond the 10-12 buys this month.  I have lot's more to buy so if you want to have a little contest I think it might be fun.  Winner has to buy one piece (no cost limit) of their choosing?  I usually get all my stuff from either LN-CC, Balenciaga Store in LA, one of the Margiela store and website and Oki-Ni (sometimes).


Are you actually challenging someone on an Internet forum to a spending contest? To prove how wealthy your parents are? How old are you? I'm sure at your stage of life these things seem important. When you grow up, have a career, family and mortgage you'll realize how foolish that sounds to actual adults.

Incidentally, for someone with all your means, how are you such an eBay expert?

Actually I am flying to Boston in a couple hours to spend time with Parents. If you want their address in Beacon Hills I will be there later this afternoon if you don't believe me? Let me know and I will be happy to have you come by. Currently, I have a place on the west coast.

Actually, I am not an ebay expert. This whole discussion had nothing to do with ebay rules, it was about what discount a buyer "should" or is "entitled" to ask for. I have used ebay maybe twice in my lifetime.

edit: Let me know if you change your mind on the spending challenge. We need to begin soon if we are going to do it.

My enjoyment of this thread is officially ruined.

Tell me about it. I don't even wear RRL. I did buy some for a Father Day gift but other then that, I don't wear the crap.

A guy I work with told me someone licked a wet paint pole in this thread and I didn't believe him. Then, people start asking what discount they are entitled to ... here we are.

Just ignore me if you have issues. It's okay, I won't take it personal! :)

Lots of Balenciaga, Margiela, DVN and YSL.

It's nothing personal. I am sure the quality of RRL stuff is great. Just not really my thing just as some of what I might like may not be yours.

^ Whoa, Del-Toro this is not about a discount I would be 'entitled' to get. One isn't entitled to a discount just because they ask. How do you jump to that logic. If you are actually old enough to go to law school (which I'm starting to wonder) you would be a terrible lawyer.

Since I'm the person that started this whole thing (and let me apologize to the rest, I never meant for it to turn into this), let me state what I was asking. I just wanted to know if I could ask for a discount, and if I can, how much is appropriate. When I ask, the seller can say yes to my offer, they can say no, or they can come up with a counter. Then its up to me to decide if I want to take their offer or leave it. Thats it, real simple.

This is pretty much how the real world works. Just stop big dicking around. No one cares that you spend more then them on the internet. Its a stupid argument (another reason why you would make an awful layer), and it's pretty sad that you feel the only way you can try to win an argument by diverting to how much money you spend or inviting them over to your parent's house (really?!?!?). Why not just ask him to meet you on the playground after school?

Grow up man, if you do buy things like you say, you could be a valuable member to this site, but if all you want to do is brag or attempt to argue something from acute angles that make no sense, then just do all of us a favor and let us get back to PSR and sizing advice.

Mine have not shrunk much, if at all. I don't have any of the newer ones, but I have an RRL and have had a few from other brands, and all consistently have not shrunk. I wash in cold water and hang to dry, thougth; but I'm not sure how much difference that really makes, anyway.
