Sorry late response but...
Im 5' 10" and ~160lb. I was able to try both a 3 and 4. The 3 was well fitted if it was my only layer, but since I knew I wanted to layer it with hoodies/sweaters, and since i prefer a slightly oversized fit, I went with the 4. Both are pretty relaxed overall, boxy/wide in the chest, wide shoulder that will hang a bit past the joint, but somewhat cropped in length.
Yeah I ended up snagging a size 3 off their customer service recommendation.

I received an order from Cottle today. Two pairs of jeans and two t-shirts. A couple points and questions for those experienced with their clothes:
-The ecru washed jeans are very nice. Straight leg, comfortable, and soft. The waist is a little bit tight. Do their jeans tend to stretch in the waist over time?
-The CTL comfort linen cargo pants have a very wide fit in the leg. They feel great, but it's a much different fit than I'm used to.
-The "magic ways" t-shirt in kakishibu (pictured) is strange. It has a rough, very firm texture. I assume from the dye they use? I got the same shirt in a different color and it's much softer. Will the kakishibu dyed one soften with use/washing? Note - it looks cool though!

Hi Guys, Hoping for some sizing advice here as well. I am 6ft8 and 99kg. So relatively lean. Those agreed to make me a custom size 6 (same step ups as other sizes). I am wondering if it wouldn't get too baggy and If I should just ask him to extend the arms and body a bit since it's already very wide in the chest.

You're talking about t-shirts? They are pretty wide and loose so I don't know if it would be the best fit.

Not sure how many followers there are on this thread but selling my yak fleece in size 4. Tried on a bunch but otherwise unworn. I’ll forever need a size 5.

$725 shipped in the USA
