Son of a...The sizing locked on the Pigment Dyed Vnecks already before I even received my Heavyweight Indigo Vneck.
Well, I guess I'll have to hope the large Heavyweight Indigo Vneck isn't too big, and the medium Pigment Dyed Vnecks aren't too small.

I'm not waiting for a delivery but I'm hoping the #29 Earth Super Light chinos go up for sale again soon. From the pictures, I really like the shade in between typical khaki and brown pants.

Italy Linen Superlight came in! I ordered a 32 slim, and the cuff is between a 29 and 30 slim. Sending them back. Just like the Taupes. All my lightweight orders were a bust and I am sad!

I need to measure a bunch of stuff now. Gonna go home tonight and mass measure. I think I received like five denims in the past few months . |

i've had to send two lightweight releases back due to them sewing up too small. not sure what's going on but it sounds like it could be a trend...

The waist on my taupe linen came in on the low side of tolerances for a 34, but since I had sized up it worked out. I would have been upset if I hadn't and they came in on the small side of a 33, though. The slubby-slub-slubbers came in right on spec, though, and I don't have any other jeans in the hopper. Cone-Luc Jacquard should be shipping soon. |

Just received shipping on the Sea & Sun Plaid. Just awaiting a shipping notice on the Khaki Selvedge twill. Couple that with an arriving pair from CF, and I've got a fun week of checking the mail.

Just received shipping confirmation for:
#213 Cone Indigo Jacquard
If it arrives Tomorrow (come on USPS, how long does it take to move a package 48 miles?), and it fits, I may just back the Japan Oxford 2-pack (should they still be available).

Got my Italian IxI. Anyone have both it and the Japan IxI? These Italians are.....slick. And shiny. Hoping that fades with age. Can anyone tell me what the fabric is like on the Japan IxI? Also, bentin...   VERY well sewn up this time around. In fact, I really dig this shirt. Natural indigo should fade and make it look pretty sweet after time. Great stock store score. |

That looks really nice. Maybe they finally got the workshirt shop to sew up a button down. Material is tits too, I don't remember that one.

My Cone-Luc Jacquard hasn't hit engage yet. If you wouldn't mind sharing some pictures when it shows it would be appreciated. |

It's aligned in one direction and not terrible in another. I actually like the fit of L Tall, so if they can stick these together, I'd buy a few more. |

USPS tracking is still showing as "shipping label printed", i.e., not picked up yet. |

The placket matches with the left side of the shirt, but it doesn't to the right. That bothers me more than the collar does. |

You've gotta be careful, otherwise you'll find yourself staring at dudes in patterned shirts assessing their alignment. It's not worth nitpicking this shirt, honestly, it could be better, but it matches what everyone does in most cases short of English bespoke tailors, from what I've seen. Nobody that sees someone wearing this shirt is going to notice anything weird. |

Agreed, solid for a casual shirt. Would be a little supect for a dress shirt, but Gustin doesn't make those, so no worries.

Nobody that sees someone wearing this shirt is going to notice anything weird. You're right, it's a problem, but now that I notice it, I can't unnotice it. And yes, I pay attention to random dude's shirts as well. I'd say based on my unscientific estimate, 60% of shirts are not well aligned. It's worse with bigger/wider patterns like this shirt because it's harder to get it to match, or it uses more fabric. |

Was waiting on Italy Midnight Shadows, but waiting no more! Sized down one notch in the straight cut, perfecto.

I was mainly focusing on the pocket for bentin, but wanted to also get the Gustin label in the background lest he protested that it surely had to be made by another company haha. |

exophobe the #213 Cone Indigo Jacquard did arrive today. Here it is pulled out of the envelope:  And opened up a bit:  The closeup of the collar button. The colors are a bit brighter then reality, the true color is much closer to the two pics above.

I think yours looks great, though, and it looks pretty accurate to the campaign pics. It'll be cool to see yours develop as it's washed to see if it is actually the same fabric that Taylor Stitch used for their snappy-shirt -- it almost looks like they overdyed that fabric with indigo again to achieve this look. Either way, yours looks like it's bound to leave indigo everywhere, watch out for crocking! |

Funny, I have a red couch and was staring at it this weekend wondering why the side I sit on looks filthy. It finally hit me that I've crocked up my couch cushion.
