How heavy is the cotton/linen oxford? Is good in warmer temps? I see it's labeled medium weighti almost did the soft Milano on my newest shirt, but have a mental block against the two buttons on the collar band.
however, that might be my only option going forward. such a shame because the fabrics are killer! the cotton/linen oxford is unbelievable.
Medium is accurate; definitely not light like madras, but it isn't thick like the heavy Oxford cloth.How heavy is the cotton/linen oxford? Is good in warmer temps? I see it's labeled medium weight
Thanks! Seems worth a shotMedium is accurate; definitely not light like madras, but it isn't thick like the heavy Oxford cloth.
I have one that's a few years old, though I'm not sure if it's the exact same cloth (it is the same composition however), and it's one of my favorite warm-weather shirts both with and without a tie if anybody wears ties anymore.
The drape of it is way better pure linen, which is all droopy and sad. This has outstanding linen texture but enough body from the cotton to stand up pretty well. I wear it year-round for that reason.
Definitely is. I will post a pic if I can to show how it drapes. Fabrics like this keep me as a customer.Thanks! Seems worth a shot
I gave that a try a few years ago and it didn't excite me. I actually felt it would be better for wearing with a tie.Soft Roma Spread is a nice option for under a jacket without a tie.
As ever, it depends on your tolerance for weather. For me (SoCal climate most of the year), I treat the C/L Oxford as a fall/winter fabric. It's certainly airier than a densely woven cotton, and FAR airier than a heavier cotton oxford, but pure linen wears much, much cooler...particularly if you're comparing PC's current offerings.How heavy is the cotton/linen oxford?

@Seph
Is there any reason (fabric, construction, etc.) why two pants of the exact same custom size would fit differently? I ordered the Bowery White Stretch Heavy Cotton Chino and the Sullivan Navy Stretch Cotton Twill 5 Pocket Pant. The former fits perfectly--arguably the best fitting pair of pants I've ever owned. The latter feels tight in the waist/hip/upper thigh. Is this expected?
Tried searching for this but couldn't find the answer. Forgive me if it's already been asked:
Do the performance chinos cuff? I own some of the heavy cotton chinos and they cuff really well. I don't expect the performance (ie: nylon) version to cuff as well, but I'm hoping they cuff reasonably well. Anybody have any firsthand experience? See here for an example.
Is anyone else having issues where shirts are coming in at measurements way off the saved size? I just ordered a madras and the waist is 0.75” off on the half measure after washing. I get tolerance but 1.5” of excess fabric just seems, well, excessive. I had the same issue with a previous order they had to remake.
Hey, Seph -- I know it's a potentially niche option, but would love to see a drawstring option on the pants (a la here, here, or here). There must be an audience for it if there are so many iterations popping up, and it's definitely a look I think matches well with the latest work from home trends and blends 2021 comfort aesthetic with classic styling. Just something to consider.
