I have that shirt - very nice. I saw a large-tall in their online final sale last night. Keep checking and you might scoop up a returned shirt in your size. I did that last year because I wanted some flannel-lined jeans. Every day different sizes would trickle in then disappear fast. My size finally came in so I swooped in fast and picked it up.

I'd like to post a fit picture of light weight urban slim fit chino 29*32

the hem is really really slim, only 7", thigh and hip are about right, if I go up one size, thigh and hip might be too loose. not sure if I want to keep and hem them or just return them.

Is that your regular size. They look too big in the thighs. I'd definitely hem them or return. A roll like that doesn't look good on pants like that.

I just bought some navy hook and bar navy chino's and these things are awesome. They fit perfectly and are extremely soft and comfortable. I highly recommend them.

I am APC NS 28, I definitely cannot go down more because the waist is already tight and thigh area fit pretty slim. It is only around 1" larger than my thigh circumstance, don't know why the picture makes them look so loose.

Down from the knees they are really really slim. My calf are not big and they fit close to being tight, and that is the reason I am thinking to return them.

Do Jcrew chinos shrink and get slimmer after wash or do they stretch with wear?

just want to share some size info (29*32) I got from Jcrew rep:

urban slim light weight: waist, hip, thigh, hem: 31.5 39.5 24.25 14
urban slim broken in: 31.25, 39.25, 24, 14.75

so they fit pretty similar but broken in has larger hem and slightly slimmer thigh and hip, probably not noticeable.
