do the vintage chinos shrink at all when hot washed/dryed? need to get about 2" taken off mine, just need to make sure they aren't going to come out of the wash 0.5-1 inch shorter as well.

Tried searching but is the current duffle and rain coat part of the J+ collection or part of their regular collection?

How is the quality and fit on these two jackets? Are stock plentiful in stores? I am looking for a xs/s (5'8, 145lbs)

With pants you plan on putting in the dryer on a regular basis, always wash and dry them a couple times before taking them to get hemmed.

Almost certainly their regular collection.

uniqlo has a new dressy collection that reminds me of +J. picked up a blue oxford (has a tighter almost royal oxford-ish weave to it) with mother of pearl buttons. the collar has a decent height and the fit is much better than +J (for me at least). Kind of fits like BoO.

Some oxfrords / button downs you should size down 1 unless you are accounting for wash and dry shrinkage (which should not be much) OR you plan on wearing an undershirt (which Fumma says 'no')

The small is pretty fitted on me in the chest (in the waist that is a different story). I wouldn't recommend anyone bigger than a 38 try a small.

Anyone know if the 5th ave store still has a Blue Rider in XS?

Or any store for that matter
