What y’all think? Size down?

Throw it in the washer and dryer once and you’re set. Trust me - this is the answer and the coat will look way better afterwards.

So I washed and dried my Safari and @NickPollica is right (as if I had any doubts) the material is way better after!

I would guess the sleeves shrunk maybe 0.5- 0.75" and maybe a small bit in the length of the body. The material has loosened up, giving it a wrinkled texture/ worn look and the color has more variance now too. I would highly recommend it!

Appreciate it! Small sold out so will try this with my medium

I got a bit wild this week and picked up some older pieces. Trying to make the argument for skinny dude sizes haha

I am eyeballing some of that. The fishing parka calls to me although given it is early June...

Got this 18 East shirt I'm willing to part with. Brand new with tags, size L. Don't remember which drop. Never got around to wearing it, and looking to lighten my closet. Asking $110 shipped in the U.S. PM if interested.

^^^ great shirt! I love mine, but wish I had an XL. I'd love for it to be just a bit looser... having a tough time letting it go though

That shirt was my first 18 East piece. Such a good one. Drop 3 khadi camp shirt

Was looking forward to someone washing their safari jacket and letting us know how it went! Can I ask how you washed the jacket since I'm looking to shrink down the jacket a bit?

I washed mine on cold and then on medium heat in the drier. I checked on it every 10 mins or so, just to make sure it wasn’t going to shrink to much.

I’m wearing the jacket today, and the material is totally different in a good way. The material was fairly stiff for a linen and had a slight sheen. Now it’s a lot softer, looser and moves better. It’s also puckered giving it more depth and texture.

The first of the orders came today so some quick thoughts. The other won’t be for a bit since it’s still in the store.

navy blue safari jacket - much heftier than I thought it would be. However, this is going to be a go to for chill mornings. Love the textures, the buttons, the whole thing. I’ve been tempted by getting an old French chore jacket but never made the actual leap. This is kinda fills that gap. I didn’t size up in this so it’s much more true to size - I went size small @155-160ish pounds and 6’1-6’2

civilian od overshirt - this thing is a work of art. One of those shirts you just go “oh ****” when you actually throw it on and see it in person. Perfect weight and again, I didn’t go oversize and went tts with a size small. Love the top button.

basically going to be in one of these or the sahasika when it arrives haha

is the drop going to be this week or next?

Doubt it's this week, I'm not even sure Antonio finished shipping everything last week. He said he was aiming to get everything out Thursday but I never got a tracking number or delivery yet. With everything going on though, it's not a big deal.

Same, still waiting on a pre-order nylon cap to ship from a 5/15 order. No complaining but really looking forward to getting my hands on it.

I don't think those were set to ship until the end of this month/beginning of next month.
