Do H&M tees shrink much in the wash (cold wash/low dry)? Their V-necks fit really well and while some shrinkage wouldn't be bad, I'm paranoid about losing a complete size after my bad Hanes experience (three inches lost in the length of every shirt from a cold wash and low dry).

Speaking of H&M tees, I find the sizing off the rack to be kind of all over the place when going from style to style. The V-neck tees I picked up fit well, while some other V-necks in another part of the store fit like muscle shirts.

i think the fit would be much improved by losing the belt though

Thanks. You're recommending just wearing no belt or a different one? Also, do you think the trousers should be hemmed slightly shorter?

Why get rid of the shirt pocket? Is a pocket considered more casual?

no they're the original ones. The glue dried out or something. I'm gonna bring them to a cobbler and see if he can glue the soles back on.

Jeans are petite standard, just over a year old, countless washing, tearing, bleaching, staining and shrinking.

^How'd you size? Smallest pair you were able to get buttoned? Cause thigh stretch doesn't look too bad at all.

 

[Synthese]

Yeah, basically. Actually, the thighs were the hardest part - they're 31's, but I probably could have taken a 30 waist if they had fit over my legs. I could button the 31's all the way at first, albeit they were very tight. They did stretch, but they've been put in the machine dryer on "hot" so many times that I'm not sure what the actual thigh or waist measurement is now. I wear them super low, though, nowhere near my waist. Weirdly, I have a pair of size 32 PS's and my first APC's were 34 NS's, both stretched more in the thigh, and the 32 PS's felt at least 2 sizes larger than the 31's. Hear that everyone? APC sizing is fucked. Regardless, they're seriously the best-fitting jeans I've ever had.

 

[asobu]

yeah, those apc's are almost the perfect skinny fit. good wear on em too.
