You should be fine. I am a medium (actually, I am the medium), and I am 5'11" and just shy of 165 lbs.

Like heavy jeans. The weight of the shirt makes it best worn as a shirt in winter and as a jacket in the spring and early fall.

So I picked up an MJK jacket for $225...but unfortunately it's too small...if I find a buyer for it soon, I might be able to pick up one of these shirt/jackets. Dunno if I should be sad or happy, lol.

It's waxed. It won't.

But waxed cotton is the ****. I can't justify buying this right now, but two more vodka neats ought to take care of that.

I bought one. My new camera should arrive around the same time. Maybe I'll post a waywt pic if all goes to plan.

Looking forward to seeing better fit pics. I like the shirt's style a lot.

Looks nice but I'd prefer it in a different color....olive green perhaps.

You did read the part about there being blue indigo underneat the black coating, correct?

With such a limited production, we couldn't really do it in more than one material and color. However, I like olive green too. Maybe something else in he future. we'll see.

Fok.

any chance LAG or someone from Context who has this shirt can post pics of them wearing it?

also regarding sizing and the fabric.....since it's so stiff would it be better to size up since a fitted shirt in heavy material might feel awkward to wear?

Ryan is the only person with one right now. He will post pics (I don't know when). I would get your true size. The material is stiff and heavy, but... you don't want excess material either... I wear a size small in many American brands, and a size medium, or Eu48 in Costume National, and a 39-40 in Italian market Jil Sander shirts, and the medium is fitted on me. Hope that gives some idea...

Fok.

Do you have any sample at the store that I could come see for myself, and maybe try on?

 

[tatet]

I'm probably going to pick one up next wednesday when I get paid

 

[toothsomesound]

Will you guys tell us how many of these badboys are left?

 

[tatet]

You can check by picking your size and looking at the quantity
