Yeah that's true about linen not stretching much at all, but in my mind there's some loosening in the fabric after a few wears, even if the waist itself remains tight. But then again, I have a pair from Cavour from last summer in slim 48 instead of 50 and they will never fit.

Same here but I do find that sometimes linen is cut more generously (due to the fabric). I believe Rick has commented a few times on this as well in this thread.

I've never bought OTR linen shirts from S&M, but I have heard that they're often cut generously.

How summery is this? I love it, but looks heavy! maybe only cause I've only seen this pattern in fall cloth

The cloth is 300gsm, lighter than Minnis linen, not as breathable but still good for temps up to 22 degrees C I'd say

There was an issue with a batch of shirts from a couple of seasons ago which I'll attest to were completely botched in a few colorways.

I've purchased a few since then and although they are slightly looser they are well within acceptable range.

I have two OTR linen shirts from them in 16 contemporary. And one 16.5 linen slim fit. All 3 fit but
the two contemporary are noticeably bigger in the arms, chest and waist. I washed them in hot
water and threw in the dryer which made them almost perfect for me. The 16 slim was perfect
right out of the box.
Of course it depends on your body type.

This Ethomas hopsack is getting a wear weekly, I’ve never been so fond of a navy hopsack jacket before.

What kind of processing time are people experiencing with altered items? Placed an order on June 21st for a pair of trousers and they've yet to ship. Hopefully they haven't forgot about me, and are just slammed with orders from the sales and the re-opening of their store!

Edit: Had a feeling this would happen, got the shipping notification 5 minutes after posting. Olive linen trousers on the way. It's so nice being able to wear them straight out of the box and not need to visit a tailor.

A little help here would be appreciated: I ordered 3 sport coats to try on different sizing (R and Long) a couple weeks ago. I received my order 11 days ago, tried them and made my decision to return the 3 and placed a new order for another fabric in my size I needed (Tobacco linen is the winner).

For the return: I sent an email 8 days ago and no response: Followed up with 3 phone calls/vm's and another email follow up over the past 8 days and still no response at all. This is very frustrating. The 14 day window is actually is 3 days out and I don't see how it's possible to return in that timeframe when I can't get a response or return label with 8 days of no response.

Is there something I'm missing with the customer service response? Would value you're guys experience here.

Thanks in advance.

Hopefully it is just the long weekend that is causing the back log but I've always had good success with Returns sending my requests directly to [email protected].

I'm dealing with the same sluggish return speed. Posted something similar this morning. I think they have been very short handed.

I'm strongly considering taking advantage of the current full canvas upgrade promo by having a DB suit made out of this fabric. Never really had a PoW suit before, so looking for general advice. Is it a good choice for a DB PoW suit? I'm considering getting the jacket fully lined with flap pockets.

I think it will look good, but keep in mind that if you are around a sea of plain navy and charcoal suits, it will stand out.

No risk of that happening. As a matter of fact, nothing would make me happier than if people came dressed in navy and charcoal suits.

Thoughts on the pattern/shade? Looking for a low key PoW and not a loud one. Since I don't have any prior experience, I don't know where this fabric sits on the "loudness" scale.
