awesome.

i need one in CA

 

[fungz0r]

they aren't bad, I like the ultralight down one for layering

 

[gettoasty]

I think I will go for the the down w/o hood. I tend carry an umbrella with me instead

Hey guys I could use a little help. I'm trying to size myself for this uniqlo oxford but I'm not sure if I should go with a small or medium. I have ~17 shoulders, 40 chest, and I'm 6ft 185 lbs. What does the L/S stand for btw? /noob
I'm still a bit unsure of whether or not to go for the slim cut or the normal one, does anyone have any insight on this?

 

[gettoasty]

Measurements tell me XS but weight says small, perhaps might even need medium

 

[Kross]

That helps lol
I'm just a little confused because on the UK sizing chart the small measurements are awesome for me but then the chest size recommendations say that I should be a medium so which one should I rely on?

 

[gettoasty]

Everyone carries their weight differently. I say if you are using a proxy, get a small to be safe. Medium may end up too boxy. UK website has measurements FWIW and you can use that as a guide

 

[WhoKnewI]

I agree, go with the small.

Thanks toasty and wki. Would suddenlee be the cheapest proxy service available?

 

[gettoasty]

Depends on how big your order is, but general the consensus is 'yes'
There are some reliable members as well who may be better suited for small orders

How tight/fitted do you wear your clothes, Kross?

 

[Kross]

I like things slim but not too tight. My ideal cut is the Jcrew sun faded oxfords in small. I absolutely despise when my button ups billow.

If you have a JCrew shirt, take a tape measure and compare it to the measurements on the UK site.

I say this because I own a few small +J shirts in regular fit, and they are just a tiny bit smaller than my JCrew shirts (also small, regular fit). The slim fit shirt you're looking at is probably more so, so double-checking wouldn't hurt.

 

[WhoKnewI]

Were there regular cut oxfords in this collection?

 

[Kross]

Yea, this is the regular fit.
