18 East

[Cotton Dockers]

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

Welcome! FWIW, I'm about a 42 and I went with the L in the vito and think it's perfect. Extrapolating from that XXL might be best, but I'd just check the measurements on the item to be sure.

Hi! Thank you so much I'll do my best to speed read the size chart before pulling the trigger. Fingers crossed!

@Cotton Dockers sorry I'm a dingus noob and hit quote instead of reply haha

Isn’t there still a Vito on the site with measurements? I think Antonio said this Vito will fit the same as the previous iteration

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

Think of how much happier you’ll be in life when you realize that this is a good thing.

On my end there's a password blocking entry right now - so going to have to rely on ultra fast clicking to see haha

Haha definitely not complaining. Definitely felt like that was the look the pullover was going for

Ah, sorry. Didn’t realize he did that already.

@NickPollica these black Goreckis are pigment dyed right? V interested in high fade potential.

Just received the second yousef and seersucker kurta. Both are amazing, but I don’t think the kurta is going to work for me, unfortunately.

If any forum regulars missed out on the kurta in large, happy to pass it on at cost ($95?) + shipping

What is it about the Kurta that does not work for you?

It’s nothing about the shirt itself. I tried it on and just realized it wasn’t for me (I feel the same way whenever I try on an EG long shirt). Rather it go to someone who would get more use.

Hey, welcome. Yeah that's about me, I wear a xxl. You should be fine

I’ve got to say, I really appreciate the way Antonio makes sure to offer a full range of sizes up to XXL. Lots of brands don’t, or if they do it’s often done poorly. with 18 East, the last few rounds have really nailed the sizing. Xxl wears as properly/flattering as M or L.

You should keep it - I've seen your fits and it totally works with your style. once you wear it a few times you won't want to wear regular length shirts.

I'm very happy that I'm working on a brand where the discussion isn't "do we make XXL?" but "do we make XXXL?"
