I'd heard that their quality was dropping since they moved from Portugal to points east. Sorry to hear you're having so much trouble. I'd recommend Ratio if you're still looking and don't mind the decreased material selection. I would have gone ratio but I needed them quick for a trip. 2 week turn around is pretty good if they could size appropriately

Proper Cloth sent me remakes of my incorrectly cut shirts. These ones are worse. 21.75" chest came in at 21" pre wash with a fabric that shrunk a half inch last time.

Any feedback on that shirt length? I feel like a half inch shorter might be better.

TS fit guide lists the length for a size 40 at 27. That's SHORT.

How long do y'all like your shirts? I got a couple of shirts from Proper Cloth at 29.5" and I am debating making them shorter. I am 5'8 with a semi long torso. Inseam is only 29.5 on my pant.
At 29.5 the shirts go down to about the 3/4 or middle part of my butt, and leave a little fly exposed on the front.
So what do y'all like?

Just got two PC shirts and not impressed. One shirt was an inch longer than requested, and neither had shrink allowance added. Both appear to have shrunk below my requested size after a cold wash and hang dry.

You guys are a tough crowd. The hemp shirts look interesting, the waxed wool lined jacket, and the submariner coat too.

It's dropped back down to low/mid 60's here in England after about 2 weeks of high 70's/low 80's..... I love the mild weather, but I'm hating the inconsistency, lol That's how its been in the Pacific Northwest too. 88 one day, 60 and raining the next.

Forgot about the good-acre collection, few things I like in there. But I also don't mind the waffle jack /ducks DigDug - caved and got the mechanic, we'll see if I keep it. Lots of things to like about it. The natural stripe chore shirt looks like an IHSH-07. Might get that and sell of my 07. TS just fits my body better.

Its super tiny - which I can't wrap my head around. It says "roomy" in the description, and it should be bigger than the standard. I tried the standard and it was snug i the thigh for me, when I went with the waist - sizing up maybe I had a chance. But comparing shockoe/division road, its a 2 inch difference, seems little off. Yeah. The thigh for a 34 inch waist is 11 according to their sizing tool. That's insane.

I bought too much stuff.
JCrew Seersucker pants were a good idea. Very comfy. Plus an Irish linen shirt.
Bought some shorts and linen shirts from Uniqlo also.
The du/er pants are ridiculously comfortable so I bought those as well. They're not raw selvedge, but damn if freedom of movement isn't nice sometimes. Also they are made of lyocell so they won't stink.
Outliers pants were too slim, and more than I wanted to spend.

^this. Whenever I go into a high end clothing shop and see something made in China, my immediate thought is: "someone is getting rich from this." If you are making something in China, I don't think you should be able to charge more than $100 for a shirt. my thought is, if you're stuff is MiC then you shouldn't charge more than $50 for it. I have a couple of RRL shirts that I bought on clearance a year or so again but won't be doing so again. RRL is already outrageously priced to begin with, but clearly Ralph Lauren is making a fortune off of selling MiC Americana. I actually hope the MiC thing bites TS in the @ss. At the very least they're taking advantage of their customers for short term gains. Oh, and they no longer get to call the Yosemite the Yosemite. They should name it after the province in China where it's now being made. Wait, Yosemite is Mic now?

Could be my seat belt. I'm usually only in the car about half an hour each day though. I have short arms, so I find myself standing closer to counters than most people. I don't know. Am I the only one here this happens to?

I took a couple pair of lightweight pants to Spain a few years ago and they sat rolled up in the bottom of my bag for the entire trip. It was just too hot and humid. I was in shorts every day. Obviously everyone is different and shorts may not be for you. I hate shorts, and plan on going places where shorts would be frowned upon.

I need this mystery solved. For months now I have had shirts randomly develop a single hole near the front lower center of the shirt. At first I thought I had carpet beetles or something like that, but I highly doubt they are eating holes in the shirts.
At first I thought it was my Ciano jeans. They had a rough top button. I've since stopped wearing those and still have issues. The latest victim was one of my TS merino wool t-shirts. I've only had this thing or about a month and a half.
It really only occurs on my thin shirts like G etc.
Google search says friction between countertops and my pants, but I don't notice leaning on things that often.
Any ideas?

Just sort of heat checking these. I bought a pair of Whites Semi Dress in brown chromexcel with speed hooks, cuban heel, and vibram mini lug sole. They are an 8 2E.
I paid about $480 for them on sale from the Annex.
They are too small for me. I need an 8.5 and my feet are super wide.
These have been worn probably about 20 times. A couple times in a warehouse. They have some scuffs and one small 1/8" gouge on the side, but are still in great condition.
If you are interested make me an offer. I'd like to recover as much cash as possible.
Will send pics and post them here later.

I am looking for travel pants. Light, flexible, breathable. I found some I like from du/er, but would prefer something not made in Pakistan. Anyone have suggestions for pants that will do well walking around Spain in 90 degree heat?

When someone figures out the thigh game let me know. I need at least 12.5-13" an inch down. Size 33 or 34 waist. My problem is anything more than an 8" cuff is not good for me, so cuts like the 634 etc are out 14oz Iron Heart denim in the 633 cut at self edge. My size 34 waist pair has a 13" thigh 1" down and a 7.75" cuff. Lovely denim as well. I'm just not sure I've graduated to $300 jeans yet. My Oni 517s at $160 were my most expensive pair. But soccer has made my legs bigger and bigger, so I may need to bite the bullet.

Has anyone asked them why they've gone so far as Chinese manufacture? I'm of the form unfounded opinions based on actions and don't bother with questions camp. Especially when folks like Alex Mill are busy bringing manufacturing back to the US. No size chart on a $85 henley makes me want to punch them in the face.
