Did anyone buy this Lumber Shirt? Does it run massive? A 2 looks sufficient, which for me would be unheard of.

I've got this in Navy. It's ever so slightly bigger than my Khadi Lumbers but I still went tts and have no complaints.

I washed my lhamo for the first time the other day and got a bleach stain on the front pocket and sleeve but honestly have zero idea how this occurred. If anyone has a hunch on how this could have happened please share because I am at a loss.

I cleaned my kitchen sick, filled it with cold water and a touch of laundress detergent. I threw in a white sublig, black ultimate tee, grey sublig (bandana hem), brown lady white tee and my lhamo. None of the other items have dye so they shouldn't bleed. I let them soak for 20 minutes, refilled the sink with fresh water to rinse out the detergent, then rolled each item in a towel to remove excess water and let them hang dry.

The color/pattern looks a bit old man on me, looks good worn open however, but not good at all closed imo. I'm a bit shorter than you at 6'1 so the 4 runs a tad big, but no way I can size down due to body length and arms :/

yeh agreed shirt looks much better open. Don’t think I’ll ever wear it buttoned up unless under a jacket

the shape isn’t perfect on me. These new oversized cuts Visvim doing look better on a slimmer build than me

100%! and thats my problem, I appreciate the oversized fit, but because I'm a normal / athletic build it just comes off a bit sloppy depending on the item.

can anyone comment on the paratrooper sizing? i went based off the measurements and i bought a size 2 but finding bits of information online leads me to think i should've went with a 3 even though it seems huge.

does somebody own the hw tioga pants with the braces? if somebody owns these how do they fit? are they largely oversized?

im looking at a size 3 at the moment. im in hakamas a size 4 and in denim a 36 (16).

thanks!
I do and they are def one of my favorite pairs of pants. I own them in a 3 (I’m sure a 2 would fit but I love the loose fit).

I go between a size 2 and 3 with most vis bottoms (and 34” in their denim). I’m a 33” waist, 5’9” and about 154lbs. My legs are on the shorter side so these aren’t hw on me - more like the perfect length. Here’s a photo of me in them (wearing a Galen I should have never sold). I’ve got a belt on as they’d fall down if I didn’t wear a belt or use the braces.

For what it’s worth, I love all the Vis bottoms with braces but, when I use the braces, they tend to pull my undershirt forward after a while.

Runs big. For example I'm a 4 in most vis, but a 3 in the size five is preferred, so I'd prob do a 3 in paratrooper. Both would prob be snug in shoulders at a 3, but after trying up to a 4 it's just too big

crap based on the measurements i went with a 2. the shoulders were also a concern for me. wish i could find more photos of it worn. hope i dont regret it!
