Can anyone comment on how the chinos fit compared to epaulet chinos?

I just got the W+H Mac in the mail. I like it a lot, but, as other people have said, it's quite a heavy canvas and feels a bit boxy and stiff on the first few wears. For anybody else who bought the Mac: does it soften up much with wear?
Thanks!

PS If anyone else is looking at them: I'm 6'3" 175 and a large seems to fit quite well.

I don't own that coat, but have felt it/looked at it etc. It is very stiff, but I bet will break in great with wear. I'm sure it will start to mold to your body more, but it will take time, that thing is stiff, but it seems like it will last forever!

WTF, can anybody verify for me the sizing on the indigo hoodie. I just had a stockist tell me that an XL measures 25.5" P2P. That sounds absurd.

It's really stiff out of the box but does soften up a lot with wear. I have the coat but wouldn't personally define the fit on me as boxy. I think it's pretty slim over all. Heavy too. Which will be nice for Fall, and Winter..

Keep at it with the wear and beat it up. It's some damn sturdy canvas as you said. Toss it around, sit on it...wear it a lot. It'll get much nicer and softer to the touch. The buttons are heavy duty too which is cool.

I'd say that the WH chinos are a little bit more tapered. Mine feel slimmer through the leg than the same tagged size in EP chino

I've had it for a while. It softens up and gets less boxy as it softens. When I got it te flap pockets were very stiff, for instance; now they're less conspicuous.

Does anybody have a size large Indigo hoody and would like to share pit to pit and shoulder seam to shoulder seam measurements?

Had two different stockists tell me 20.5"-21" pit to pit and 19" shoulder to shoulder.

hey slack, I tried on the blazers today at Roden Gray.

they are definitely true to size exactly, very good fit.
buy your regular Wings and Horns size.

they were a bit thin as they are only lined half way in the back, perfect for summer.

regarding the Hoodies, stick to the normal sizing.
