Admittedly, I've never noticed. Usually I'm too busy tearing the package open to try whatever it is on (and often thinking after that, "oh, this is it"

Same. Never really thought twice about how it was packaged.

I only purchase occasionally, but the rolling doesn't bother me. I personally like the minimal packaging.

Shipping was crazy fast on the shirt. Unfortunately it feels like it’s a size small tagged as a medium. ☹

Same issue. Bought a Sam Shirt in medium that has a P2P measurement that is a hair below an XS and the length and sleeves are a hair under a small. It fits absolutely tiny. I've sent an email to 18E and waiting to hear back. Hopefully something can be done because it looks like a great jacket and the pants in medium fit great.

@NickPollica has there been problems with sizing recently or are these one offs? I understand these items are hand made and we can expect a margin of error (+/- 1") but I got the Khadi reversible sahasika in XL and the sizing is way off. At first I thought the time I've been spending in the gym has paid off but nope.

The size chart shows:
shoulders 19.25"
chest 25"
length 29.5"

I measured:
shoulders 18.25"
chest 23.25"
length 26.5" if you measure from bottom of collar. If you include the collar it's 27.5"

It fits over a full size smaller than measurements.

Not sure if this has been mentioned yet but some of the boutiquey stores I buy from offer "eco friendly pacakging" and "signature packaging" (for a small upcharge) that includes gift wrapping, nice boxes, etc.

Probably more of a hassle than it's worth to implement though. The rolled clothes have never bothered me.

Not that we’ve seen or have been called out in a larger pattern way (I think a handful of cases in a lot of orders). Maybe our Indian team sewed the wrong size label in? We just measured an xl of this piece in studio to double check and it’s correct to the chart. Happy to send it to you as an exchange on us if you’d like. I had the guys set is aside today - Just email [email protected] with your order number and let them know we talked and they will sort out asap. Sorry again!

I was super bummed that I missed out on the Tuckerman Climbing Pant in Honey Handloom in my size when they dropped last fall. Finally copped a pair in small off Gr41led and I am blown away. I think I like these even better than the Goreckis. I can absolutely see myself wearing these every single day.

+1 to all the comments that rolled packaging doesn't bother me for pieces that are easily washed. for items that can't be washed as easily, it's a bit more bothersome

Someone else mentioned Mr. Porter, a package from them does feel like something expensive has arrived. The rolls don't give the same impression. I did assume it was a more cost-effective way to ship but it doesn't bother me. I understand 18E is a smaller company. You guys do a good job of communicating the thought and care that goes into the product and I appreciate the price point. I don't need a fancy box and thank-you card... that stuff goes directly into the recycling when I open my packages anyway.

I'd rather my money go to the clothes than the packaging. 🤷‍♂️

Kind of like the rolled packaging myself, seems pretty effective (also lets the mail person get it in my mailbox).

Having bad luck with the brand recently, the Shelter shorts didn't fit at all and the sage Hancocks seem to have shrunk quite a bit in the wash. Maybe on me since they're linen but it says to tumble dry low, I assumed they were preshrunk or something.

How long did you dry them for and which heat setting did you use, when drying the linen Hancocks?

I love those shorts and have washed and dried them a few times now. Linen always has a little shrinkage, but I make sure to use the timed dry setting on medium for 15 mins, check them and do another 5 mins etc.

Just the lowest temp setting but a full 60 min cycle. In hindsight I should've been more mindful of the material but I did check the tag and saw it said tumble dry so I just went with it. I like em too but mine definitely lost a little length and some of the bagginess. Oh well, lesson learned.

On the other hand customer service was really helpful with the Shelter shorts so shout out to them on that.

Bummer. You can reshape linen a little bit, so you could give that a shot.

Anyone had their tees from the last drop ship out yet?
