Does the red lining bother anyone else?

Quick tip for those outside Canada and who pay via PayPal - PayPal will reimburse return shipping costs when you use them for payment (up to 12 times a year and up to $30 per instance).

more info here: https://www.paypal.com/us/webapps/mpp/returns
and here: https://www.paypal.com/us/selfhelp/...ipping-on-us-and-how-do-i-activate-it-faq3544

I make mention of it because I only learned of it a few months back and was floored when I did. Important point, you have to activate it as a feature on your account before the purchase (so you can't just retroactively get a bunch of refunds now if you didn't already have it activated).

@spiermackay I don't know what PayPal thinks about it, but I don't see why you can't tout that on your site. Or, if that's a PayPal no-no, at least here.

Return shipping right?

Yes! Sorry, I realize my post wasn't clear - fixed!

Between the blue-grid vs indigo or mid-blue linen (button down collar) which would be your pick??

I was actually wondering today if PayPal offers that program for international returns, as I recently ordered something from Tres Bien and have hesitation about sizing. Thanks for posting that and reminding me.

If I didn't already have so much blue in my casual wardrobe, the indigo. Looks to be the slubbiest, which I like.

Indigo will blend in easier, while mid-blue is brighter and happier. They both look great, it depends on which look you prefer. I have last year cotton slub shirts in two similar colors, and found that indigo is easier to wear.

But I ordered the blue grid to try, on Rick's suggestion.

Actually, I changed my mind. Whichever one will be the most breathable and dry. I wonder if there is a tangible difference between the linens in the 'loose pick' category, and 'textured' category on the website.

Also curious as to what would be the most breathable/dry fabric code period on there.

****, they're already out of stock on the Blue Grid linen shirt in my size. I'm 16.5, but there's only 36 sleeves left. Will there be a restock?

 

[kammerer66]

Cotton trousers in seven colors... and apparently three of them will have matching sport coats.

Never mind those cotton trousers. They are not on the web site anymore. Maybe I just saw them in my mind's eye.

 

[marker2037]

Yea, maybe they were put up by mistake too early. From your pic, they look promising.

Doubt it. They don't really restock seasonal items.

Yes, especially with the green - looks a bit Christmas-y. I'd have preferred a more complimentary color.

Looked like there were some darker colors among the khakis, creams and tans. Do guys wear navy or charcoal chinos? If so, what with? I've got navy wool trousers, and jeans obviously, but for chinos I usually stick with light colors. Maybe I'm missing the boat.
