18 East

[Baron]

Those who grabbed the navy shelter shorts, I gave mine a wash after basically living in them since they arrived and the waist most definitely tightened up - where I needed to tie them rather tight so they didn’t sag too much, I don’t even have to tie them at this point - and there was a bit of shrinkage in the inseam.

These have become ridiculously comfy though. despite it being not even a month in, these feel like I’ve had em for years.

respect to antonio for creating my go to summer shorts ??

How much did they shrink? I ended up returning a pair of large brown shelter shorts because the waist measured 38" new and I didn't have a feel for how much I could shrink them.

Edit: sold

After much hemming and hawing (and returning from covid relocations) I've gone through my closet and decided to part with my Large NWT green yousef shirt. It's the godamn coolest shirt that I've bought in a while but it's just a bit too small for me and I'm trying to live that #sizeup life. Giving it up at cost + shipping. I'm 6'3" and normally wear a 44L jacket, XL t-shirts.

@leisurewear @malcb33 @SimModa you guys all DM'd me at basically the same time when I asked about sizing a few weeks ago, so first dibs to you three (if still interested). Otherwise I'll open it up to the thread.

**** I was late

I didn’t measure before washing - and truthfully, there was a bit of a laundry snafu yesterday so I would’ve washed them on a different setting but wabi sabi - but I’d say at least half an inch or slightly more in the waist and inseam. The thigh and leg opening seems a bit more snug as well. Overall much more TTS than prior where it was still a loose, but well fitting piece.

I have gone from owning one pair of shorts to five due to 18 East. Got shelter in brown and white but am wondering if I need to pick up blue to complete the set.

same. Own all three styles of Shelter now.

Showing some smock and kurta love today. Wife says the smock looks like a drug rug, but still loves it.

As my hair continues to grow out with no end to the pandemic in sight, I think I need more hats. And maybe some bandanas.

I feel like the smock and kurta combo is a match made in heaven. And the smock is so good. There really shouldn't be any left. The kangroo pocket is super great.

Safari out in the wild

I probably won’t roll the cuffs as it looks a little douche. Might give it a wash instead.

@NickPollica will the shrinkage be just in the length if I decide to give the jacket a wash?

Are those the Chamula huaraches?

Nope, Nisolo. Real happy with them, they were initially a little tight but now they're getting super comfy.

I know this is probably off-topic but just wanted to take a moment and thank you, Antonio, for keeping it real

This has been a terrible ******* week and it is honestly refreshing to see the redirect you set up - as if I didn't love this brand enough already, it's a huge deal to know we share common human values (as I'm sure it will mean much to many others as well). Thank you. Stay safe everyone
