Polo and wide stripe linen feel like butter. I sized down on the polo from L to M as per the instructions. It fits exactly the same but quite short as others have said (pre wash)
I'm actually one of the few who likes the thought of a shorter polo for this year. I have absolutely zero polos that I can wear untucked as they are always just so long and look ridiculous. Great for keeping them tucked if you want them, but ridiculous looking otherwise. Perhaps this batch will fit that bill for me.

Same question from me. The new polos in small fit me well, so I'm thinking a medium in the t-shirt will fit better than a small? I'm a 15 in the extra slim shirts, but could go for a slightly looser fit with a t-shirt.

Looking at a medium in the hooded sweater as well based on the feedback from last year in this thread. But open to other feedback on how these fit.

6'0 tall, 150lbs, closer to a 36 jacket than 38.
I size down in t-shirts from a L to a M, but I also don't like loose fitting t-shirts, particularly in the arms. They are a little tight when I first put them on, but they stretch out nicely after just a few minutes. I'm a 42R jacket size.

I agree with this. Nice to have some casual untuckable polos for a change so I’m okay with it

What is the most y'all would bring in the waist of trousers? I normally get. 30 contemporary and bring the waist in a hair. Could I alter a 32 and not looking silly? A 34?

I'm a 33 waist, but size up to 36 in Spier trousers, and have the tailors bring in the waist. Never had an issue. I think 4+ inches is where it would start to look strange, because the pockets would end up too close to the centre seam. Of course, sizing up would give you more space in the seat/thighs too.

That all looks fine together, I guess I just don't get the point of getting dressed to that degree just to work at home.

I've been wearing the same pair of sweatpants and same sweatshirt for 8 days now
