Has anybody tried on the swim shorts?
Are they closer in fit to the Orlebar Brown Setter or Bulldog?

Judging by the picture and the inseam on the size guide - Bulldog.

Looking at the measurements, that's what I thought.
I asked via email and Danny, while admitting he is unfamiliar with OB, thought the KW shorts looked closer to Setter than Bulldog from pictures.
If they were Bulldog length I would order right away, but with international shipping, taxes etc. I would prefer to be sure.

Do you find yourself in situations where people are analyzing your suit? I'm sorry, but that's cracking me up.

I propose we next discuss the merits of a KW vs. Rubinacci vs Target (3 pack) boring basic white cotton/linen pocket squares.

I kid.

They're exactly the same outer length as Bulldog, so like you said I don't know how they could be like the Setter as those models are materially different.

I'm ordering a batch of polos.  The sizing information is a bit inconsistent through this thread, and as between this thread and Kent's website. Does anyone else have a current polo to set a base? (My measurements: 6', 170lbs, 40" chest, 31" waist. In suit jackets I take a 38 with an 18" shoulder. In shirts, 15.5. Kent's site directs a large, but that seems loose from photos here.) Thanks!

Unless you want the polos to be very fitted across the chest, I would take a large. I am basically the same size as you (6'3, 170 lbs, 38" chest, 32" waist, take 38 in suits and 15.5 in shirts) and I have larges. Granted, I only have long sleeve polos. So if you got a medium long sleeve I think that might be a tad short on you. But I can't comment on the short sleeve ones.

A guy I work with has mediums and they look pretty tight on him and he is about the same chest size as I am. His are also long sleeve.

Happy to say that Kent Wang has lived up to his great reputation for customer service, and offered to compensate me for the pocket square that was advertised as a darker burgundy.

For anyone thinking of buying the burgundy pocket square right now, there will be a new photo up soon to better reflect the color:

Well, the outseam is the same as stated by OB for the Bulldog, but the waist measurement differs greatly, so does the leg opening.

KW Size 28 - Waist: 28" = 71,1cm Outseam 15.5" = 39,4cm Inseam: 6" = 15,2cm Leg Opening: 10" = 25,4 cm
OB Size 28 - Waist: 80cm = 31.5" Outseam 39,1cm = 15.4" Inseam 15cm = 5.9" Leg Opening 27cm = 10.6"

For what reason doesn't Kent himself answer to emails, PMs oder posts in this thread anymore?

I received a personal reply to an email a month ago.
