Has anyone heard or seen if the sizing on cardigans/vnecks changes this year? Specifically the necks since they were humongous last year. @spiermackay

I feel like side tabs gotta be high rise though

I don't think so, but to each their own, I guess. I can't bring myself to wear high rise trousers, especially if I'm not wearing a jacket—feels too Urkel. But I like the clean look of side tabs.

Agree, to each their own. To me, side tabs are more formal, as are a higher rise. I might worry that side tabs on a lower rise creates a "formality mismatch." I also personally am tall with a long torso, so I appreciate that high-rise trousers make my legs look longer, regardless of whether I'm wearing a jacket. I basically prefer high-rise anything all the time. Trousers, chinos, jeans, etc. It's the way pants were classically worn and, in my mind, for good reason, as pants look best when they accentuate the natural waist.

Just got the shipping notification on my sweaters :-D

With these being machine washable (and lay flat to dry), is any shrinkage to be expected? My experience with merino wool is limited to some sweaters from the Bay which all shrunk 0.5-1 size after a wash and flat dry.

Seems like the sizing for this S&M release is more TTS so I'm trying to figure out how I should judge which size I got and figure out if I should exchange for something smaller. I'm a 40R and went with L, however my stomach isn't always a 40R...

I’m curious to see sizing as well. I’m a 38R and S&M suggested (confidently, I might add) via PM on Instagram that I should order a small, though I’m a medium in the merino sweaters. I haven’t received a shipping notification, but I’ll update when it comes in

Well done ny friend.

I have this SC as well and love it. Looking forward to hear your thoughts on this year's iteration of thus jacket. I've abstained from acquiring it as I'm afraid it'll look to similar. Also, the mentioning of black in it kind of put me off. Love to hear your thoughts on both those matters once in your hands.

So usually if you click the size chart, there should be a sleeve length measurement there. However, on my phone right now, it seems it is not on the madras size chart. So, click on the denim sport shirt size chart, as it is on there, and they should be the same sleeve length

Please post your thoughts on sizing when they arrive. I too am.one of those guys that is a 40 but maybe not always a 40 around the middle ?. It can make sizing tricky.
