    just lost weight and trying to get good fitting shirts

    1. If you have a 42" chest a slim fit dress shirt should be at lrast 45 and preferably 46". But it's also a matter of personal preference. 6-7. You don't sound like an unusual size, you are a pretty normal medium size. You have an 8" drop so you will probably need a tailor to take in the waist...

    Trouble finding brooks brothers shirts to fit and need blazer advice

    We can't know if what you are syaing is normal since you don't tell us yuor measurements. Anyways, getting made-tomeasure from BB is expensive and there are cheaper options online. The cheapest way is just to have a tailor take in the waist. It is a simple alteration and costs about $15 per shirt.

    Slim Fit Pants

     Wool should only be dry cleaned so there should not be any shrinkage, although if the cleaners don't know what they are doing then it is possible for shrinkage to occur even with drycleaning. Cotton can shrink in the wash if they are untreated wrinkle prone cotton. But if they are "wrinkle...

     I noticed this with my Mctavish too. I've noticed other people saying the Mccallister is also a bit looser than other 5-last styles like the Strand and Park Ave. I wonder if it has something to do with the wingtip design?

    Are my new Allen Edmonds defective?

    They shouldn't look like that. Especially since the defect is right on the cap where it is most visible. I would exchange them for another pair.

    Merino wool vs Pima Cotton?

    As Sanguis said, you should never put wool in the dryer. Roll it in a towel then lay it flat to dry. Or just bring it to a dry cleaner. http://barb-hacker.suite101.com/how-to-care-for-wool-sweaters-a190092

    SF approved Country of Origin

    In my experience Malaysia is slightly preferable to being made in China. Brooks Brothers seems to outsource alot of their production to Malaysia. Malaysia is a reasonably well off country by third world standards, incomes are much than in China or the Phillipines, so I imagine they have better...
