Oh I know where to get them, thanks haha. Just curious what you're growing.

Just some little elms - the window faces a brick wall, but gets decent sunlight, so it's a way to make something out of an otherwise kinda dismal view.

I have red somewhere in this thread that some people have washed their Drakes overshirts at home, can anyone give their feedback regarding if they have shrunk?
I bought 2 pieces over the last archive sale, and they were my first drake's overshirts.
I got 2 L sizes, for a cotton and a linen overshirt, as I was not sure what it would be my correct size.
I will have to take some of the sleeve length, but I'm afraid they could shrink in the future, when washed.

I did wash my cotton one and it didn't shrink. I did, however, wash it on only 30 Degrees.

I have washed my linen over shirt in 30 degrees and it worked out just fine.
