Everything you own must be made of raw selvedge denim.

Can anyone comment on the sizing of this season's madras/scretwashes? I have the gun metal gingham in L and it fits perfectly. But i've tried last years tartan in an L and it was not looking pretty at all. I like the plantation madras but want to get some feedback on fit. If i have to, i'll head into the store and try it on...but would rather not.

I have a slim frame. 5'11" 145lbs 36 inch chest 17 inch shoulder and 29 waist. The plantation and spingtime (don't know the correct name) madras I ordered from Staver fit very well. slim tailored fit with enough room to move

I always wash my clothes (with the exception of denim) as soon as I buy it. You never know who has tried it on or what got on it at the factory.

I still don't think 2 mins in the dryer on medium heat to fluff and warm the clothes up will cause any wear and tear to happen. Makes it easier to have wrinkle free clothes.

Are you kidding me? Your skin produces oils and has dirt and other matter picked up from the outside air...

Fireman's jacket is cool but not sure how practical something like that is for Spring, everything about it, from the collar to the material to the clasps just screams fall/winter.

The fact that it is partially-lined according to the description means that it probably is lighter-weight. Club Monaco has something similar this year in navy. If you want a winter-weight coat like this, I would recommend the Nom De Guerre version (unfortunately hard to find now, but it pops up every now and then on here or sufu). I wore the NDG and a T-shirt in 45-degree rain last month and was slightly hot while walking around campus.

I like wrinkled, actually. I NEVER iron.

Even your dress shirts?

Yep.

Life is too short for the iron-y.

I like mine ironed. A crisp dress shirt is important. I just don't use starch.

It's not important enough to me personally. Then again I only wear pressed clothes to funerals and job interviews, neither of which, fortunately, I've had to engage in with any frequency recently.

Got my coastal plaid in today. Can't wait to wear it over the weekend. The material is light weight and I think it's a perfect sunny day long sleeve shirt.

I like the coastal plaid. May go see if the store has it tomorrow. Of course, it's another run to the clearance store, too.
