Apolis x Styleforum x Context heavy military shirt: the launch

[TyCooN]

randomdorean what made you choose size S over XS? I'm as tall as you and I weigh about the same but I bought a XS.

I can vouch for this shirt. I walked through hardcore Seattle rain one day which soaked the entire thing. I expected to trash it after that. It dried up ASAP and went all good again.

I never cared much for Spring/Summer jackets until this piece came along.

It looks best under another button up shirt like those $76 MJK ones. Not a big fan of just wearing it with a tee.

Pretty gangster piece.

+1 I don't really like it with a tee, but love it with a button up. I usually always wear it as a light jacket with it completely unbuttoned.

I think it looks somewhat awkward above another button-up. Something about dual collars bothers me. I prefer a t-shirt or henley myself.

I've never really been a fan of this shirt. Haven't really looked at much other Apolis stuff either.

honestly i went with small cuz context told me too hahahaha. I would love to try on a XS. but i wear a small in American apparel, alternative apparel, H&M easy iron shirts. so do you wear the same size? is your XS tight on you?

i mean my S could be a lil bit smaller but i guess they didnt want me to get too small. can you wear a button down under yours even in an XS? **** maybe i need to trade!!!

i will wear it alot more in spring either on top of a tee or a button down so i guess using as a light jacket i chose small. what do you think?

This is exactly how I wear it. Sometimes I put a henley underneath instead of a button up. Wearing it as a reg button shirt either makes you look too plain or you end up looking like "that creepy guy".

I wear XS in every top I have. My XS isn't tight on me it fits me perfectly. Mines fits excellent as a light jacket over a button up, henley, or tee.

^ Is that a reference to the SuFu mod? I think it looks fine on him as he wears it, although I never wear it that way myself.

I've worn it over a T, a cardigan, and a button up shirt and liked the way it looked on all three. I picked up a medium which looked awesome buttoned all the way up like a shirt, but I couldn't breathe and my arms lost circulation so I sized up to a large, which is too boxy to look good buttoned up.

Definitely agree that pics don't do it justice.

Who? When I see people wearing this shirt jacket I think they either look like a creepy guy, a regular looking guy, or a badAZZ.

damn it! i wonder if context can do anything for me?!?!?!

My only aversion to wearing it with a button up is I don't want the indigo to stain anything of value. If this isn't an issue I would definitely considering wearing it with other things. I hope no one takes this personally, but I think it looks much better on people with dark hair / tan. Random: I thought it looked pretty good on you in your pictures. I think that size works for you (although its hard to tell for sure with the angles).

I wear it over lighter colors all the time and I've yet to stain anything.

Yes, that's exactly what I meant. When worn as a plain shirt over a fair hair / light skinned person it ends up looking like a costume piece for some creepy guy in a movie.

wait sorry for beating a dead horse but let me clarify ... so you wear an XS in H&M and both AA's? if so then i think Small is ok for me ... PLEASE REASSURE ME! haha so what exact brands are you wearing in size XS in "every top."

^^FYI I think yours looks great. I don't know why you'd want an XS
