Supposed to.

Like an Emerald buy not as crazy intense Emerald if that makes sense.

Sounds like it's exactly what I've wanted for a couple years now.

Well, just to get a better view of the fabric color hehe

Another pic.

From right to left - Huddersfield forest green, honey linen/silk, vbc tropical (I think) from a few years back, AFB fresco, tobacco fresco.

lawd, so many nice colours and textures.

I know people associate earthy colours with winter, but I like them just as much in summer time.

 

[so Paddy got up]

Anyone compare the fit of the zip hoodies compared to the crewnecks (own one of these already)?

Order same size?

Yeah, order the same size. I have both in large and the hoodie seems slightly longer in the sleeves and body (it could just be variation within tolerance). I wear both frequently on weekends.

First wash of my Spier polo I recieved a few days ago... never worn.
Washed warm, put it in the tumble drier because i did not mind of it shrank a bit.

Result: did not shrink, but color ran.
What happened? First time this ever happened to me
Happy it arrived on a low budget item, but I still don't understand what happened? Been washing polos for years and first time this happens.
It does say dry flat, but common this is a cotton polo, not some custom fragile garment ...

Interesting. They feel quite different side by side.

Pretty sure your MTO is Fresco Lite, and the RTWs were regular Fresco. If so, there would definitely be a difference, like you said.

Comparing to Wool/mohair fresco otr perhaps?

I have both the navy wool/mohair and the gray which was just regular wool. I think they feel similar in texture. The forest green certainly feels softer, so maybe it is indeed fresco lite. If so - sign me up for moar!

Is this your own washer/dryer? Looks like there might have been leftover bleach in it.

No. The MTO is normal fresco. There is always going to be variations.

Something got on there. Even undiluted fabric softener can do that.

Which polo is that? That looks like one of last years polos?

My drier. Never put bleach in it (lesson learned years ago when my mom ruined many clothes, promised myself to be extra careful near bleach ). It's the only item that looks like this out of the bunch.

Yep, got it as an cheap happy go lucky add-on to find out how spier polos fit me. It was final sale, great price so must be last year, fit was great and it was long enough for me despite being 6 ft 2 (not the same luck with polos this year unfortunately).
Still, 0 wears @ 15$ makes this the worst $ to wear ratio at.. infinity
