Clarks thread is the epitome of groupthink.
maybe if some of the senior members would teach us how to clean crepe soles once and for all we'd stop asking

So, my great aunt used to work for Brooks Bros in their advertising dep't, essentially running their campaigns in the 50's/60's. She passed away recently, and my dad, going through her stuff, found old pictures/memorabilia (which look straight out of mad men) and asked BB (who now has an award for advertising excellence in her honor) if they wanted it. BB, being big on their own history, was all over that ****, and gave him a voucher for 3 MTM shirts as a thank you. Not caring nearly as much about this sort of things as I do, he gave them to me.
That's an awful little for a lot of history.

lol. i'd either keep it as it's pretty cool or throw it on ebay or something if they weren't going to give anything for it.

Imho, the chambrays are meant to look a little large as they are supposed to be modeled on vintage workwear. Workers in the depression weren't worried about slim fit but rather comfort. To each his own, of course, but to me the chambrays look more appropriate when you wear them true to your size.
Regarding the issue of sizing down for a slim fit and so on... I've said it before but here's my take. _. ____ is built on the preppy look and style which overall is not meant to look extremely fitted and slim. It's a more relaxed look. I think that's why a lot of people, especially really young guys, have problems with the _. ____ fit. You can't go to _. ____ expecting to get the same kind of modern silouette you find with other brands. That's not what the _. ____ look is about. That said, sure, sizing down will slim it up for you. So I guess it's about what you want. Slim or relaxed.
