I noticed the pique stuff now says it's pre-washed for stability. Is this a new thing? I had a bad experience with shrinkage before, but I would give some of their pique stuff another shot if they've improved that issue

The pre-washing is new yes, but do note they still say shrinkage up to 2% may occur. Then again, from my experience, all pique fabrics shrink up a bit and eases out again with wear. It can also be stretched gently out of the washer. Stoffas is definitely different, I don't find as much leeway in terms of stretching post wash, but the majority of the circumference shrinkage I had went away with ironing. The length not quite as much.

Given Agyesh and Nicks’s background I’ve been patiently waiting for tailored jackets and will keep waiting. Will they ever show? Who knows, but here’s hoping.
Called it.

It’s interesting they actually call it a double breasted shirt jacket.
The chocolate peached cotton lever looked better I must say.
Price was a nice surprise too.
