Will probably run them through the sewing machine to stitch the box pleat in but that does't sort the arms :/

I've heard a few people mention stitching down/in the box pleat but I can't quite visualize it. is it vertical stitching down both sides? if so how far down do you go?

Yep, will post a review when I get it, also bought 50 dollars worth of undershirts and underwear for the free shipping

Took a chance on the slim fit ultra light down since you'd mentioned it. Need to get rid of the static but it fits pretty well in the same size as my oxfords.

Also ordered a slim fit oxford and the slim chinos to try out sizing wise.
- slim chinos fabric seems like it'd be kinda nice for the summer; I like the cut
- slim oxford is still a nice thick material but it seems a lot softer than the regular fit ones I bought back in March '11; those have softened up some with many washes but this fabric feels nicer straight out of the packaging; overall a trimmer and improved cut, my only nitpick is I would've liked two buttons on the cuff - still, overall a really good deal

I just ordered a few s/s premium cotton tshirts (small) and a pair of shorts (small). Hope this ends up working out fit wise. The last time I ordered from them (a navy blazer) it didn't work out .

Can anyone comment on what the shrinkage is like on the slim fit OCBDs? I tried on a XS and it's just slightly too tight around the chest. The S is okay in the chest but way too blousey, might be better after a wash/dry...

Is it fair to say that a Medium slimfit OCBD will fit similar to a Small OCBD?


...then what would be the point of slim fit. Slim fit means keeping the lengths and collar the same (mostly), but slimmed up on the body.

Slim fit mediums are a bit longer than the normal grosgrani smalls and more spacious in shoulders/chest. They fit me perfectly minus being...well way too long untucked

Asking myself why they don't have any of the linen shirts in slim fit? I don't think they had any last year either.
