Got the garment dyed oxford and a flannel.

oxford isn't too bad at all nice fabric and color, the fit isn't terrible I guess but not particularly slim.

flannel's fit is pretty bad.

Probably be a good fit in the body but I would be concerned about sleeve length on some of their shirts. I'm just shy of 6', about 200 and wear a medium. Poplins and oxfords are fine but my chambray is a little on the short side in sleeve length.

I'd definitely get small if you are slender.

anyone know if the dyed oxford and flannel are gonna shrink?

^ The workshirts shrink after two washes, so I figure the oxfords will too, given there similarity.

BTW: The Poplin's have a slight better fit (slimmer) than the Oxford or Workshirt.


Might keep that in mind.

I'm 5'10, 180 here. Medium is a bit small for me in the heritage poplin (medium/large in J.Crew usually). The sleeve length is especially. However, I'm pretty muscular, with a V shape upper (30 waist) so if I went with a large, there would be too much fabric around the midsection. I just roll up the sleeves and it looks fine.

That's a pretty good policy.

In any event, I wear size large in almost everything I buy, so I doubt I'll have too much trouble. Also, when I went to check the sweater out, I was pleasantly surprised to see that the price has dropped to 39 bucks. Excellent. I don't think I mentioned that above.

EDIT: sorry, I meant $33.99. That's a pretty good deal, IMHO.


The sweater showed up at the office today (which I thought was quite fast for standard shipping). I haven't had a chance to try it on, but I will when I get home. The cut looks pretty nicely fitted, and the sweater itself seems nicely put together, if a bit casual. In all, I like it very much.

I tried it on quickly when I got home. The fit is just right for me. So that's a score.

It's too bad the solid heritage poplins rarely go on sale. I could use something other than stripes or gingham in my closet.

Hi guys if I return a few of the shirts I ordered for an exchange, do they ship the new items free of charge to Australia?
