I just got this shirt from the BF/CM sale:


The color and fabric are awesome, but, it fits bigger than the measurements listed (about an inch bigger in chest, shoulders, sleeves, and length). I'm worried because of the looser weave/hand-loomed fabric, it'll stretch more during wear. Should I be worried about that? Will it shrink in the wash?

I was admiring that shirt. Such good colours.

Looking great, and nice jacket too.
Will there still be the LEJ tweed? My NMWA credit will go to that since I have something similar to the leather from Lemaire. Cheers
the tweed arrived in the same package as the leathers, along with the olive shell blousons. should be dropping next week i think

Coming in a little late to the discussion but just got my GRP polo in ochre today and I'm already looking at getting another color or maybe a bubble knit. Never thought something this comfortable could also look this good. (FWIW i'm 5'7", 150 lbs and size IV is a perfect classic fit, personally wanted to avoid a slim cut on this one)

Props to Greg for styling it with the diamond tweed Sartoria Carrara suit. I was sold when I saw how great of an accessory it could be. Now I just need to work up to getting the suit as well...

What size do you recommend for the Ikiji turtleneck if I'm typically a size IT50? Debating between L and XL.

I’m like a US 40 and I need the xxl in ikiji turtle necks and they are still on the slim side
Unless
Something has changed

I see! I did notice that the ones from previous years seem slimmer, at least based on the size chart.

If you are going to be in a city and visiting in person for the first time a store you have bought from online many times, in person now mainly to try on new brands for size...


Is it a good idea to wear a coat that you bought from that store?


Or is it better to be anonymous and be an ordinary customer (clearly interested in buying)?
