The sizing chart on the officer's chinos is way off. I bought a size 30 after seeing the chart list the waist as 32. Turns out the waist was 29.8 unstretched. I'm a true 31 and always buy 31 in RRL slim fit denim and cords. I should have known better. Most annoying thing is that 31x30 is sold out in Olive, so will have to wait it out for a re-stock.
Following up on my own message, I finally got the Officer Chinos in size 31x30 in Olive and it turns out they measure just under 30 inches in the waist. Same as the 30x30 I sent back. Guess I will send back again and try 32x30.

Has anyone found the current collection to be a bit 'dry and boring', this season nothing really shouts 'buy me' unlike the last season.

Having said that I may go for some of the below IF the price is right in the sales:-

s7-1501521_lifestyle


s7-1501543_lifestyle

I just received that guernsey pattern shirt from yet another Cultizm sale. TBH, a bit underwhelming. Shirt is much darker IRL and the pattern is very subtle.

The white cotton rollneck sweater is a winner.

This happens every summer collection for me, I'm trying to look like a cowboy not a sea captain for God sake

+1 on the cotton/linen rollneck sweater. It would be on my list if I hadn't already bought it.

Just received my first order, a W32/L32. It fits well, a bit tight, but with some space left even with a shirt tucked in.

However, it's very rigid denim and I am afraid it will shrink to a W31 after a wash or two. So I just ordered the last pair on Cultzim (W33) to compare.

Am I doing well sizing up, or does the W32 fit sound accurate for a pair of new, yet to be broken in rigid/raw denim? I'd hate to get it wrong with this pair, I absolutely love the color. Much nicer in person, as others have mentioned!


Cancelled my W33/L32 order, so should return back in stock soon.

I will stick to W32/L32. I think it will be fine after some wearing.
The 33/32 turquoise jeans is back in stock @ cultizm. Someone here should take it, imo.

I just got mine from Cultizm too and I'm not sure if I'm going to keep it. It is shorter than I expected and if I look at the picture above, the pattern is way more visible in the pictures than in real life. I'm going to check it in daylight this weekend to decide if I keep it.

You don’t get daylight during the week in NL?
I just checked mine outside. Pattern is more visible but still fairly subtle. I like it enough to keep it since it’s going to cost quite a bit to return.

Well, with the current weather not so much. But I'm at the office during the day so it is not possible to see how it looks when the sun is fully bright during the day. The fabric looked so good on the pictures that I'm a bit disappointed.

Hey all, question for you guys about these low straights I just got in. I got em for a steal (clarification: I did not steal em) and they're a black on blue color wash that I really like and have in a slim fit. The seller doesn't accept returns but did not answer my question about them being altered. Here they are:

Turns out they've been hemmed but in a way I've never seen before... from what I can tell the fabric that was cut off was sown under the pant leg at the right point to retain the original chain-stitch hem and roping:

My question is would it bother y'all or would you just keep it? They fit pretty good and stop right at the ankle but for some dumb reason, that sticks out for me..

'Preciate your thoughts!
