@kwanon nice choices on the fabric and thanks for ordering!

Honestly, I'd advise to never put an Individualized shirt in the dryer if you can avoid it. That really goes for every shirt that we sell. Outside of shrinkage, dryers will fade colors and shorten the lifespan of your shirts - especially on a higher end fabric. It would probably shrink the Madras as much as the flannel. The Albini oxford should be more resilient - that stuff is pretty bulletproof, but even still, you'll get more wear out of it without drying. Over time, oxford weaves can become unraveled and frayed, and dryers will accelerate that.

But if you have to dry them, then just do the oxford. I'd really keep that Madras out of it. The upside is that lightweight fabrics like Madras dry very quickly on a hanger.

Haha man I know. I figure that, no matter what I do, every shirt I own is going to take at least one accidental trip through the dryer.
So, I plan on it and size them that way. Better that than turning a brilliant shirt into an underwhelming paperweight.
Thanks!

@wj4
 you have the OG GAT's from 2013 right? If so then go up a half size. I'd say to order the same that you wear in Jordan 1s or Dunks. The fit is really consistent on those styles for me. 

And get the red grain ones! 

Ah, man. You're on my wavelength...I do want your Red Octobers! (the red ones).

The OG GATs were probably the best $100 I've spent on kicks. I've worn them to numerous pubs, lounges, clubs, and airports. Leather is still going strong compared to a pair of Stan Smiths I bought months ago. The pleather is cracking.

Copped a pair!

@wj4 awe yeah, I thought those would be your style! We're using similar leather to the OG's, but everything about the construction has been upgraded. I think that you'll be really impressed with them - thanks for the order.

@kwanon I hear you, that's happened to me. Worse thing was last Fall where two cashmere sweaters were washed and dried while out of my hands. One of them was a cashmere V-neck that I absolutely loved (we ran it in 2012) and ended around 1/5 of the size.

Don't stress too much about these. The oxford is fine either way. The madras will probably shrink a bit in the dryer, but most likely less than a flannel. And if its something that happens now and then, you don't have to worry about too much wear and tear. Just try to hang it as much as possible

Whomever ordered the Toasty Herringbone HT suit, please post pics!

Will do You'll have to wait until April though, as that's when I am traveling to the US and can arrange either a store visit, or a rendezvous with a USPS delivery ... I'm not sure how much use I'll be able to get out of it this season - could be toasty in more ways than one by that time of year (at least here in Beijing).

I just measured my waist again to make sure. Around the top of hipbones, it measures 33.5. For chinos, I guess I should go with a 32 or a 33?

I hate not living in NY any more and noy being able to pop into a store to try stuff on.

I also had a blue lapis suit made up -- Double Breasted with blonde horn buttons. It is amazing...and too small. Will be in B/S soon, but if there is a 41S / 32 Rudy guy out there, hit me up.

If the pants were just about an inch more in the waist, I could probably make the sit work. Maybe I should use this as motivation to lose a couple inches from my waist?

@Michigan Planner you've got plenty of seam allowance to play with on that, the Southwick trousers can be let out by about 1.5" Definitely can't hurt to bring it to your tailor and get their opinion. And if you let a wool trouser out, you can always bring it back in down the road if need be.

@herzzreh I'm thinking 33. But it's honestly more reliable to measure the waistband of a pant that fits you well rather than measuring your body. Two different guys with the same measurements and build may have two different preferences for how they want a chino to fit and where they want to it sit on their hips.

Any new info on footwear? I'm looking at making a purchase soon, but want to hold out until I see what is offered.

If none of the Epaulet sizes are exactly right for me, can the chest/waist/sweep measurements be tweaked for Individualized shirts?

Just saw that massdrop post. I've been waiting for the white gray sport trainers to come back. Guess I'll be participating in this drop.

Probably my S/S 2016 uniform. EFF navy fresco and tobacco linen/cotton driggs. MTO pants ordered February 9 and delivered on February 29th. Very impressive.

 

[StanleyVanBuren]

Solid look/uniform. I dig the patch pockets on the jacket.

We call this the California Tuxedo. Any chance you're out here?
