I'm planning on ordering a pair of GT's and would like your guys' suggestions with sizing.

I have a pair of the 875's that I love, 10.5 E. I could fit into the regular width, D, and stretch it out a bit to make it fit. My toes have plenty of room, aren't scrunched up in the toebox.

Everyone says to size down since they are long but I want to make sure the width would still be OK if I ordered a 10.

If anyone knows where i can find this tshirt in a size small i'd really appreciate it. I looked on their website at their stockists and none of them have online stores and i think the list might be dated. Apparently an orlando store carries them that i'm gonna check out but it's probably all women's stuff i'd imagine. They said american rag carries it too. Just wondering in case anyone has seen it. http://www.oaknyc.com/men/shop-by-br...dox-london-tee

I few weeks ago I purchased an APC military jacket off the internets. It is tagged small, and it fits me well through the shoulders and torso, but the arms are insanely large for my build—too long and much too wide. I often hear people discussing slimming their pant legs, but I rarely hear anything about slimming sleeves on a piece of outerwear. Do you think it’s even possible to adjust this to my specs. Or should I just find someone with beefier arms to donate it to? If it matters: It’s fairly thick and sturdy cotton construction, but it’s unlined.

Do you think it's even possible to adjust this to my specs (at a reasonable price"”that is, for less than the 100 dollars I spent on it).

I don't think you could. You can't make sleeves slimmer on shirts (and a jacket would be the same) because you would have to raise the bottom of the arm hole, which is impossible as it would make a hole.

That's what I thought, but I was hoping there was some magic solution. Sigh. Anyone want a jacket?
