Just measured. The length from the button sew point to the button hole is exactly 15 inches laying flat.

can someone advise me on possibly shrinking this marled blazer. i like it but it's just a tad too big so if i can shrink it even like 5-10% i think it'd be good to go.

There are two possibilities: I was swimming in the small shirts I was wearing before, or you prefer an extremely fitted shirt.

I do prefer a fitted shirt but there was no pull on the buttons, FWIW.

I have to give props to their customer service staff...

Placed an order last night for 3 or 4 V-neck wool sweaters and the red chambray. Was waffling on the Shaker Shawl Cardigan, but in the end, decided against it.

Woke up this morning regretting not buying the cardigan, so I gave them a call. The order was already in process, but the CSA placed a new order for the sweater and gave me the same discount with free shipping.

How are the flannel shirts in terms of fit? I got the plum chambray and really like it - the fit is much better than the oxfords for whatever reason.

i got it for dad in a small to account for the supposedly big sizing but its an actual small so its no good for him. on the upside i really dig how its a roomy, thick, warm knit in a nice color and it's like 20 bucks so im keeping it.

the marled blazer is pretty good quality and a good way to fake the BoO or W+H blazers at exactly 1/10th of the price. BoO, it's like $380 retail, right?:

since it's so cheap i might gamble on attempting to shrink it if someone would advise me on that. otherwise the small would be perfect for someone whose like 5'9.5-10" and 150. as it is, it only looks good on me when i cross my arms lol. i'm cool with that, but the small is just an inch to long in both length and sleeves.

here's an even better example of something similar (in look, not quality) but costs 10 ten times as much as the LEC marled blazer. From the recent purchases thread, Ervell Cashmere Blazer

Can you measure the actual chest and shoulders of your marled blazer? I'm 5'11 170, not sure if small or med.

Measurements for the small marled blazer would be awesome (shoulders and sleeves in particular)

A guy posted pics a few pages back that was 6'2'' and 140 and the small was pulling at his chest so I ordered a medium.(I'm 6'2'' and 175). Another guy was able to shrink his a little bit in the wash with a hot dry. idk, I'm hoping the medium works out well for me, but for $38 im not too worried. hope that helps a little. edit: above posts beat me to it
