Does the marled blazer have a single vent? If so, don't wear it so slim the vent splits open. Nothing looks worse than a wide-open single vent on someone who sized down too much.

Thanks for the help guys. It looks like medium is best.

Everyone in this thread should email/chat to lec and tell them to institute xs sizes. I just chatted with a csr and they said they would pass it on to the purchasing dept. If they started selling xs sizes lec would be freaking awesome.

Thanks. The shoulders are pretty narrow. I think a medium will fit me well.

For shrinking, I would just put it in the washer warm/hot and dry warm/hot. I did this with a wool blazer on warm and it shrunk a little over an inch in sleeves and length. Measure before dryer to see how much it shrunk.

straight fit cords, i do not recommend ... just took them out of the dryer. fabric is much too lightweight and it puckers at the seams around the pockets etc. garbage

got my order today
will probably keep: marbled blazer, t-shirts, overdied oxfords(might need to tailor), straight chinos
and return the couple sweaters I got, too baggy just like the jcrew ones I also need to return.

Chinos are ok and a steal at $10, blazer actual looks pretty good best item of my purchase.

IF anyone wants the corps jacket (Olive in Small) let me know. I got one and I'll sell it for 30 dollars. Its really nice just to long for me.

There no longer seems to be a listing for it.


Cheers.

Should I size down on the Shaker Shawl? I'm a medium in their shirts and when I ordered their Varsity cardigan in medium it fit kinda big so I returned it.

The small red chambray was way shorter than the small poplins. Also the "navy" bengal stripe was no such thing: it was charcoal/black. Checked the label, it said navy. Guess I'm making a trip to Sears this weekend.
