The Eidos sleeves always seemed too long for my short arms and I don’t have competent tailors available. The 18 East field shirt sleeves are a bit long but not excessive for me. Congrats on the Jungle Jacket. I really love that one but find it impossible to justify any more outerwear, especially in that color. Will regret later of course.

Ahh, sleeve length alterations are rather difficult. I took me a long time to find a tailor skilled enough to do anything with sleeves. Ive tried unsuccessfully in Orlando, Miami, and Jacksonville until I came upon my current tailor in Tampa. If you're in the area or not too far of I can PM their info.

So it sounds like people are actually sizing down from their normal size in other brands for the shirts so far? That's the impression I'm getting from a few posts. Is that true? I'm a medium in brands almost across the board (including Eidos) unless it's a Japanese brand with smaller sizing scale in which case I go with Large.

Antonio’s sizing goes:

XS = 36
S = 38
M = 40

And so on. This was true with Eidos as well I think for the most part.

180 delivery came last night. A few shots:

View attachment 1038073 View attachment 1038071 View attachment 1038072

Baby cord shirt has a chest of 22” and a length of 29”. Aran has a chest of 22” and a length of 26.5”. Both are size small. Cord pants are a medium. For reference I’m 5’10” and 175 lbs. Normally wear a medium in most things and 32 in pants.

Received the blue printed field shirt. Awesome piece. The cotton is so light it feels like linen. I was worried when the drop date was first announced that I’d have to wait until next year for Florida appropriate pieces but this is perfect.
Normally an S in brands so the XS fits just right.
Only picked up one piece because I was worried about the sleeves (which stopped me from getting a lot of great Eidos shirts).
Will be ready for more come Friday.

Antonio’s sizing goes:

XS = 36
S = 38
M = 40

And so on. This was true with Eidos as well I think for the most part.

Thanks for the reply. I am aware of the scaling, but from your post on the blue printed field shirt and @kjb 's post quoted, it seems like both of you have sized down from your typical size in other brands, which is what I'm trying to confirm. I'm typically a 40/M and was in Eidos, but it seems like with some of these shirts, I'd be a small...

i think it would depend upon what you're looking to pick up. the aran and the button downs fit me better when i sized down. but based on the measurements and pictures the fine people on this thread have provided, the cashmere sweaters, rollneck, and t shirts might be TTS or even size up depending on your body type and how you want it to fit.

Still thinking about whether or not I should get a size down from this aran. Still getting used to the whole oversized thing without looking sloppy.

So, getting iffy about the sizes I chose for the two t-shirts (white trailhead and indigo kamkari). Not sure why I chose L, maybe based on the last Lupo I bought (NYC Blue). Probably not the smartest decision, considering how inconsistent those sizes where YoY, and that I was XL, now that I checked, in all other iterations... So totally my own fault, and now both XLs are sold out. Hmm, to wait and see or cancel and order something else? Both are still listed as Unfulfilled, and I've received no shipping notification, so maybe I still have some time to wait other impressions.

Living in Sweden, so return shipping is a bit of a pain.

For comparison's sake, I'm 6'4" and wearing a small, which per the product description would qualify as a "slimmer fit." Antonio mentioned that he's my height and build and wears a medium, so YMMV.
