All the chinos are quite comfy, and the cords are the most satisfying to wear.

Great value, just like the OCBDs.

@spiermackay it's been a while since my last incident but did you guys figure out the shrinkage problem with the poplin?

How similar in color, in person, are the cloud blue and sky blue? Same for Medium Blue Fine Twill and Medium Blue Royal Twill? Finally...should we expect more uploads tomorrow or shoot our shot now? @spiermackay thanks

Cloud blue is very pale. The sky is more of a proper light blue. Medium blue fine and medium blue royal are similar.

No more shirts coming tomorrow.

@spiermackay I read that madras could shrink 10% and thus needs to be washed first before cutting. Is that the case? Just checking before I wash

No. Wash cold. Hang to dry. All the madras have been garment washed post sewing. I really have no idea how folks are claiming such excessive shrinkage.

I must have 8 madras shirts from over the years. None have shrank to the point of being unwearable.

What's the handfeel like on a regular madras shirt? I've never owned one except the madras chambray which got more rough the more I washed it, and wore fairly warm.

How cool do they wear?

It's really lightweight and you can see through the weaves. Not rough at all, def a summer shirt. Spring/Fall might be a cold.
