Hm this is not a good development for me

From now on we will only have 1 xs if we have it at all. There won’t be more than 4 S again either. Most stock will be in L, then XL, then M as this is what we sell.

:( I like XS for the outerwear/SC, including one specific piece I thought I remember was going to be made this fall.

Real talk I’ve thought about scrapping S all together too. Out here like Orvis.
Mr. East, sir, I'm happy to size up to a M in tops if I have to. I'm all aboard on big fits. I'm even down to cinch some elastic waists if I have to. But if you have pants with a button and no stretch in the waist, cinching it with a belt just isn't the same, even if I'm wearing it on my hips like you suggest (I've always worn my pants like this anyway). I'm just skinny, man. I'm literally asking you to look out for the little guy right now ?

hahahah - Im not getting rid of S, but I will say that I wore XL pants when I had a 29” waist just fine. It’s as simple as a belt.

I only need the S for the pants/shorts. I have a 30” waist and am trying to lose more weight this summer lol

I’m still trying to wrap my head around cinching down with a belt. I have historically found the waist bunching to look awkward and feel a bit odd, but now that I’m not tucking in anything with my 18 East fits I’m getting over the aesthetics of it. I have a pair of shelter shorts in M and that’s been the gateway. I need more 18 East approved belts, that’s the ticket. I have an Inis Meain belt that I wear with my single pleats and that helps a lot.

also while you’re here, how are you sizing for the doubles knees?

I’m usually a 36, so I figured between XL or XXL
