While we're asking... I'd love a size chart for the grey jacket cause that will be an instacop and I got a gift card so I don't wanna dawdle too much ?

The original Mandu was from the first drop before there were size charts. I have the large and I would say TTS works well.

TTS for me as well. I have the green one but I absolutely want this one too. It's a good call back to drop 1 when we had all the time to read size charts and pull trigger. This drop will be :box:

Do we have a size chart for the indigo jacket?

Don’t think so, but I can post measurements of my Mandu (Size M).

This was when the pieces fit larger than the same size nowadays. I think sizing changed due to returns etc.

Here are some photos that may help

I remember asking a couple years back (has it really been that long?!) and I’m pretty sure I heard models are 6’ & wearing Mediums.

@NickPollica Had an item from the Dec. 10 drop cancelled earlier this week ago and messaged CS and haven't gotten a response yet. Wondering if it was an inventory issue or something else?

consensus is that gorecki's shrink up a bit when washed right? worried if I lose any length they'll be too short for me, but want that sweet sweet texture (and you know, to be able to wash them)

I lost a solid 2 inches to effectively get them to fit me like they fit you now (which IMO looks good on you). That was after 1 rinse and tumble dry and then one hot wash (at least according to my washer settings--it didn't feel much different than cold wash to the touch, anyway) and tumble dry.

Do with that info what you will!

Mine fit like that prewash, shrank about an inch in length for me. I would warm/hot wash then throw them in the dryer on medium heat. Taking them out in intervals to re-measure.

I've just come to terms with sagging a bit. I would rather have the texture than worry about losing length.

So we should expect the goreckis to lose an inch or two on the listed inseam after a wash/dry? I hoped that was the case, since these look not-hemmable for shorter folks. Did the waist shrink?

Only have one pair (so far ;)), but in my experience my waist shrunk maybe .5 inches. It got ever so slightly more narrow in the legs as well.

EDIT: @Bearjohnson took this pic which I thought was helpful:

For comparison. Almond is not shrunk, and dusty blue is shrunk. The inseam as well as the overall bulk shrunk down. I like the fit of the dusty blue better, so Imma throw the almond into the dryer pretty soon too.

Oh! It may be an obvious thing, but button the pockets when you wash/dry em! I made the mistake of leaving them open and the flap and the pocket shrank independent of each other so they look wonky :(

Thanks for the info y'all - seems like the inseam is just gonna be too short for me :( c'est la vie, will try the XXL next, hoping the extra inch between the inseam + rise will be enough.
