jslade i dig the steez brah, but it looks like you should size up. Your shoulders look hunched over because of the shirt being a bit too tight, but it may just be your regular posture.

One of the things I like about Epaulet shirting is the small increase in actual size that comes with jumping up a tagged size.

Definitely concerned about the additional bit of length when sizing up, though. Any thoughts? Other thoughts: quality is fantastic! Epaulet did not disappoint. Will definitely be ordering more pieces soon.

Looks like you should bump that up to a med and get it tailored (if needed), it'll be worth it in the long run.

Did anyone buy a sz.L in the new chambrays? If so, could you measure the seam to seam P2P and S2S and post them? Trying to gauge whether or not I should return my M and size up.

Okay, thanks for the advice, guys. I figure if it even shrinks a tiny bit on me, that it'll be way too tight, so I placed an order for a white oxford in a medium. Hopefully it'll fit great!

Nothing personal, but can we assume Mike knows how to read PM's and respond to them, especially given his shop's track record with customer service? Really no need for the announcement...

On a different note, any word on when those Epaulet handsewn shoes will be hitting the webstore? I need some basic footwear for the summer, and can't wait to see what Epaulet has in store.

Hang dry and wear, no iron. They hold their shape really well, I've no problem with wrinkles.

+1 this works like a charm. sometimes i dry on delicate/low for a wee bit and pull them out and then hang but that takes care of it all.

They aren't dress pants, you know? Just great knock around chinos, so I treat them as such. If I needed to wear them to something more biz-cas than I do now, I would probably iron.
