I think the Raglan is well sized. Especially considering you already turned back the sleeves. I am very curious on how my size 40 will look on me. What are your stats if I may ask?

On the blazer I think it really is oversized look like 80s Armani or the stuff P.Johnson is up to at the moment. Personally I would size down because I assume even with a turtleneck under it, it still will be quite big

Is it normal for their OCBD's to have imperfections or dark markings? Picked up a Cream ticking stripe, and it's had little dark dots or marks within the fabric twice now. They're small, as if the tip of a pen quickly poked the shirt, but somewhat noticeable given the light color. The fabric itself seems a little... pilled too for a lack of a better word. Is this par for the course with the markings? Does the slight fuzzyness of the fabric go away over time with wash and wear?

I'm wearing a white one right now as I'm typing this, and while the weave of Drake's Oxford cloth is more open than others, I don't see anything that looks like a hole. Their oxford cloth is slightly peached (fuzzy), and the white solid and white in stripe patterns is very subtly off-white in a vintage way, but no markings. I have the Armory's sport chinos in the natural color and it's undyed cotton that does have some faint seed specking to it but I've never seen this in Drake's shirts. Where did you get it from?

I got the shirt (and exchange) through the website. Put a couple pics below for reference, the dot is small, but it's black on a cream/white shirt so you can see it 5-10 feet away. There's also a weird red mark on an arm. I fully recognize the potential I'm being too picky. I try not to be as I am weary of others expecting perfection from welted shoes for $300. But in my closet of dozens of OCBDs from many other brands I simply haven't seen this.
