it's a sewing screw up, washing will not help



Thanks, thats what I thought. It's not like leg twist on jeans.



Seconding the comments on crummy construction on the flannels. I picked up one of the purple plaid ones, and it's put together unevenly. The pattern slants to one side, and the left half hangs lower than the right half (or maybe vice versa, but it's pretty clearly a shoddily assembled piece).



So mine isn't the only one. I already took the tags off and wore it so can't return it anymore. At least it was only $30.

Hey, have any of you tried the skinny flat-front chinos that are currently up on the website? I was trying to figure out if they were FW weight or something lighter

Not sure about the skinny fit, but I tried the newest slim fit chinos and they were pretty lightweight.

Just got a pair in today. They're definitely not warm by any means, but seem a little more substantial than the slim fit chinos I'd tried out in the spring. I wouldn't buy them expecting anything thick, as I could probably rock these year round. A big positive is that the pockets aren't super deep - hate that ****.

How's the instore stock compared to the website? I'd love a couple pairs of the skinny fit chinos in dark grey and beige, but my size is sold out online. Worth seeing if SuddenLee can take a look in the NYC stores?

My flannels are constructed fine. Pretty identical fit to the slim OCBDs except for a longer length, IMO.

I have a ton of the 29 dollar OCBDs in size XS and they fit perfectly in everywhere but the front length. I haven't tried the slim fit OCBD so I'm wondering if the size small slim fit would work out better than the XS regular fit.

Give it a go, but I find the slim fit OCBD's to be pretty short at the front.

Wat

Hm... I just don't get why the shirts are so short in the front. I'm not tall and I have a fairly short torso. The small regular fit is way too big, but the XS fits perfectly. Bottom button is just above my waist so if the bottom of the shirt opens up at all after the last button, hot bare skin is exposed.
