Any sizing advice on the double knees? I am thinking about picking up a pair on Grailed. Would they be considered a wide and straight leg, or is there is any hint of taper? Fit similar to the single pleats?

Its pretty TTS (size large measures around 35") and it's a straight fit not wide. Single pleats are more tapered. (8" leg opening compared to 8.5")

full kit. Really surprised how this came out. It’s excellent. Def wanna get the pants tapered and hemmed a touch but everything else about this is top.

Not wide, but straight - no taper at all and pretty TTS. Single pleats are tapered, and the mil-spec ripstop ones I also have are a lot tighter than usual 18E pants but, I think I read in here they got that figured out on the newer versions. Would keep alpha in the double knees, size up for single pleats.

Does anyone have a pair of the lace up Padmore Barnes and the new zip up ones know if sizing is pretty similar? I have a low instep and always worry about anything that can't be cinched up tight.

Received the Wolf button down and glad I didn't sleep on it. Question for those who own it - is there any shrinkage with a cold wash and air dry?

No shrinkage on mine.

Can’t believe the hand feel of that madras fabric, it’s insane! So glad I picked one up.
