How much you think? Half a size? A whole?

depends, you can bag it out if you want. I have the L and it was shorter than I wanted so a just smashed my hands in the pockets and stretched it out. Now it’s good. I’m harder on gear than most though

@NickPollica
just wanted to check about the oversized tee. it seems way shorter than usual tees at 24inch for an XS. is it due to some particularities of the measurements?

With the next drop happening in-store and online a week later can I assume there will be twice as much stock as normal or is all hope lost for those of us that won’t be at the opening?

Should I launder the (newest) Sahasika? Will it shrink/improve? I sized up, so I can stand to lose both length and breadth, but I don't want to ruin it …

Laundry and tumble dry. I couldn’t tumble dry because the length was perfect. If you have some to lose i would. I just washed and hung dry and the fabric puckered beautifully.

Losing length on this style changes the proportions in a way that I don’t love personally. I would tumble low to start.

You’re flying from London to nyc specifically for the 18 east store opening ?

That would be pretty baller, but sadly no - I was due across anyway, so have moved things around so it happens to co-incide.

SO:
Sat around a couple days debating sending the L sized Goreckis back-I'm 5' 8", 200lbs, 36W and my inseam is usually 27"-28". They fit the waist fine-just very baggy, even for a washed 90's skater like myself. Was worried about wash/high heat drying, but followed the advice of @NickPollica and did the damn thing and I AM SO HAPPY I DID. The topography of the pant is much more pronounced and they did shrink up a bit. Still baggy but realized I am only going to wear these things tied up at the bottom so they're slim at the ankles, no matter what. Pics below (pants/shorts/capri!) and also the overshirt in size L (my typical size), washed and dried on high. Shrank perfectly. IMG_1758.JPG IMG_1828.JPG IMG_1887.JPG IMG_1959.JPG IMG_2033.JPG
