Yeah, I went TTS in the SI thermal - did not read description - and it is not wearable for me. Usually whatever Antonio recommends is what I do.

Hot wash and dry on high. If that doesn’t work just cut them hem (which is what I did).

To do my part: yesterday, I received the Yousef Camp Shirt, size M (size down), and the Shelter Camp Short, size L (normal size). Typically, I'm somewhere between an M and an L (~41" chest, 34" waist). I took the instructions on the website.

Interestingly, I could have taken an L in the Yousef - I wouldn't say the M is tight, but it certainly isn't oversized or even very roomy. Conversely, in the Shelter, the L was fairly large but still comfortable, but I do not think I could have sized up without a significant amount of sag (which I don't really do). Already, the shorts fall to my hips, and the drawstring is not super effective at cinching the waist (although it does not appear that it is intended to do so), i.e., you are not going to get an inch or two from the drawstring. The Shelter are really, really, really comfortable though, and even though I did not order them, I am considering keeping them.

Of course, this is just my opinion and YMMV.

You're making me happy that I missed the size down instructions on my incoming L Yousef, i'm probably 1/2 size larger than you all around. And also feeling good about the camp shorts in the same order.

@NickPollica any tees coming soon with embroidery or what's it called with the designs stitched in? Preferably not white as I already have the flag tee and the one with those blue and red designs.

The hand embroidered tees are on hold since they’re done in India.

Those shorts from last summer were so good. Would love to see them come back, the fabric is great.

WFH stylez featuring Eide trousers. Got them shortly before the shelter-in-place order in the Bay Area was issued. Super comfy for being home and toasty on colder days.

ETA: these are size L. I’m usually a 33-34/50-52 waist.

Either they didn't size up or my neck is super thin cause my pullover exposes a lot more shoulder than that fit pic.

I do wish I would have sized up, but it works the way it is.

Hey everyone,

New to this forum (and brand too!) but so inspired by the pieces they're putting out, so I'm hoping to make my first purchase tomorrow morning

Was wondering if there are any other big boys who've purchased tops before - I'm pretty broad-shouldered but usually wear an XL in t-shirts/dress shirts (46 inch chest according to tape measurer). Do you think I should try to pick up the Vito TTS or size up to XXL?

I'm also in the progress of losing weight (down to ~230 from 290 last year) but absolutely love the baggy look by the models, so don't mind it being big.. really looking for approval from others who have purchased XXL more than anything haha

Thrilled to join ya'll in supporting this incredible company
