lol pay money for a product thats designed to be long and pay more money to adjust it, rather not deal with that

Real McCoy's and Black Sign.

The Real McCoy's Joe McCoy Long Sleeve Waffle Henley - White

An old school sportswear thermal henley, done the McCoy's way. Medium weight waffle knit, with color-matched ribbed collars and cuffs, and perfect flat-locked seams, cats eye buttons, and a reinforced placket - this is the perfect base layer for the colder seasons. Runs small but stretches out...

Black Sign Heavyweight 1920s Amish Henley - Beige

From Victorian era curiosities to early 20th century equestrian and motorcycle wear to rare WW2 era items - Black Sign's garments are beautifully constructed, with a shared identity and aesthetic cohesion running through the collection to a degree we rarely see in brands focusing on...

although the latter is not waffle knit.

The shipping did seem like the advantage, but I rarely order things from your side of the border.

Yeah, I cannot put into words how awful UPS is as a Canadian, and every god damn American brand and store use them. On the other hand Canada Post ******* rules.

I get irritated by UPS and I’m in the States. The US Postal Service has had a rough go of it, but I just want to support a service that’s for everyone and that employs people in union jobs.

If you’re particular about fit and quality of product, don’t shy away from Todd Shelton. You can dial in the fit really quickly and then it’s easy to order exactly what you want on demand.

Pretty sure I'm the reason Frans Boone just started including the waistband in the front and back rise measurements. So, you're welcome.

Good garment measurements (with notes on method, even) are such a gift!

I think I've asked this before, but is Ten C dead in terms of interest here?

Dumbest decision ever. Why use a tool that allows comparisons between stores and then NOT use the standardized way to measure garments, therefore rendering those comparisons impossible, or worse: misleading.

Major facepalm

I realize this is perhaps a limited perspective, but I have always known rise to include the waistband, but have noted the exception at some stores. For me that measurement is useless if not including the waistband, as there is not a universal measurement of waistbands that I'm aware of.

Why do you say that? I like Ten C jackets or at least the ones that were offered in that OJJ fabric a few years ago. I have seen much from the brand recently, except for the collaboration jacket with Sacai.
