Apolis x Styleforum x Context heavy military shirt: the launch

rjakapeanut · Dec 19, 2008

just want to throw this out there:

i had a problem with one of these, and i contacted context support about exchanging or getting a refund. they were incredibly helpful. they went the extra mile for me, and now i'm shipping the shirt back for another. their customer services is incredible.

i definitely trust context after this ordeal. can't wait to get the shirt in!

I picked mine up day of release from the store, also a medium, #49.

As for the sizing up comments, I picked up a M and I am 6' 165 and mine also fits "perfectly". It depends on how you plan to wear it. I plan using mine more as a shirt and layering piece instead of as outerwear, but to each their own.

I am excited to beat the hell out of this thing and see how it ages.

shirt looks great. must resist

mulansauce · Dec 20, 2008

I have heard a few complaints that the shirt is a tad "boxy" or somehow the fit is less-than. It is dark out, so I can't take a good photo at the moment, but here is a terrible shot in my bathroom which might give you some idea of how high the armholes are and how un-boxy it is. I will take a nicer outdoor photo today if I don't get trapped at work all day. It really is a quite nice shirt--hats off to Fok and Apolis.

edit: fixed so it's visible with normal human eyes.

Its just that dark. If you really squint and tilt your eyes, you will see him.

rjakapeanut · Dec 20, 2008

hey, what do you guys think about the pocket on this shirt? too big? should it be on the right side?

i don't mind it at all but ive gotten comments from my girlfriend and mother about the size of the pocket and it being on the "wrong" side. clearly there is some ignorance there because they're uneducated when it comes to this kind of thing, but i like the shirt and i guess thats all that matters.

what do you think about the pocket, though?

skunkworks · Dec 20, 2008

I like the pocket being on the other side, as a change of pace. Just tell them it's a left-handed shirt.

BTW 5'10" 155 lbs. with a 38" chest and a medium fits me perfectly. I am really, really happy with this shirt.

rjakapeanut · Dec 20, 2008

oh, 5'9 135lbs with 35" chest small fits me real well.

TheFusilliJerry · Dec 20, 2008

it suprises me that the shirt has such high armholes if its purpose is to be a shirt-jacket type of thing. Must be difficult to layer.

Thanks, I fixed it/

i have #26 and its a small

i would think the first 25 would be xsmall then next 25 would be small but i guess if number 1 is a medium the numbers must be random

The armholes aren't as high as some people are making it out to be. My BoO Hunting shirt jacket has much higher armholes.

I wore this out the other night, with a t shirt and a cotton/cashmere sweater in a medium weight underneath it. I was comfortable and had full range of motion. Could have easily been an OCBD and sweater and been the same way.
