Any house-brand overdye shirts in the pipeline? Or at least, under consideration?

Whats the shrinkage like on those SF corduroy shirts? Since I had the bad experience with my flannel shrinking an entire size or more I always have to ask these questions

28 in APC, which I believe equals 30 in most other brands.

Minimal to none, but as with all our shirts, we advise washing in cold water and hang dyring.

Thank you sir!

Yup, a 30 in the Smith should be a good fit for you. There's almost no stretching in the waist, so you don't have to size down.

Not at the moment, but we're definitely considering that for the Spring. It would probably be in the EP's Chambray style, as the good dye houses are mostly in LA.

But give me a few weeks - we've got an awesome new shirt project going live in early December. You guys are really going to dig it!

Oh man, I'm sorry about that. We've had a ton of interest in those and the Brixton boot in Ravello. I'm going to reorder them next week and put them up for preorder on our website - with delivery planned for Jun-Aug '11.

Thank you! I think I'll wait until the Steel Lodens come back before ordering though, can't afford extra shipping/taxes. (Because they will be re-stocked, right?)

I got my sz 29 British Khaki chinos yesterday. It's by far the best chino ice ever seen or worn. My only thing is that I'm a 29.5" waist, and there's a bit of room in the waist and thigh, the knee below are fine, mostly because I have huge calves. I'm gonna wash them this week and see how much they shrink. They should fit perfect after going through the dryer, then I can go get them hemmed. But I'm really impressed. The construction is top notch and it feels great.

Oh man, I wish that they were - that last run was all deadstock fabrics. I think we're down to the last 2 or so units in Steel-Loden. But I'm heading back for another tweed hunt this Friday, and I'll let you guys know if I come up with anything.
