Outlier

Love the Marino/Co Pivot shirt
For sure more of a hiking shirt (an even then, I bet you'd need to watch out for thorns and branches pulling on it) than a work shirt

Love their merino T's and the oxfords. Haven't tried their pants yet but may give a pair or two a shot.

I got my first Outlier Oxford today. I went with medium first, though the large sounded like it could work for me as well (I wear a medium in Gustin and it's a comfy, casual fit; small in Jcrew button downs with a similar fit). Glad I went medium on the oxford because it fits in a very proper, tailored dress shirt type of way. I don't have a job that requires tucking my shirts in, but the Outlier tail is a little longer then my Gustin tails I think, so I may wind up getting them tailored a but shorter for a casual untucked length.

For what it's worth, I had worried that the medium would fit a lot like the Jcrew small, meaning some slight shoulder binding and occasional pulling at the chest buttons (think seated with good posture, shoulders back). Not the case. It simply fits, and fits well, without feeling or looking too tight.

variable: I have their "slimmer dungarees" in mind for my lady. She's got curvy hips and muscular calves, so standard fare jeans don't do her a lot of favors without serious tailoring. She's mostly a dress & skirt girl, but I think she'd love them. Their return and exchange policy is so great that it's risk free to order & try on, so I may push her to try them soon. Many of the women's reviews / blogs I've seen about them were from women with healthy butts & hips, not standard pencil-leg-jeans types, so there's hope yet!

I got a couple of there Nyco Slims made out of the same material as the m-65 Military jacket.

I've never had a single brand dominate my wardrobe the way Outlier does. I'm converted, and I love it.
I have a smaller wardrobe of higher quality stuff (that wears longer / stinks less) - it rules!
I have my first Wool and Prince shirt coming this week too, because nobody else has a solid black merino button down til their Fall collection.

That must be a climate/weather thing. I handle laundry fresh out of the drier constantly at work every day and never have had static issues. I am in Austin and we often keep between 40-80% humidity. If you were experiencing hot and humid, I have to say that F.Cloth (Futureworks and New Way Shorts) is amazing.

I'm trying to convert to higher quality items and fewer pieces. It's a tough conversion when they are so many beautiiful, high quality items out there.

My stuff's coming tomorrow. 2-day shipping for no cost.

Stuff got delivered before noon. Curse you office job! Where are my summer hours?

From everything I've heard (read?), all 4-way stretch is just not ideal for hot summers - and definitely not for humidity. I haven't seen anything prefer other full length pants over Futureworks when it comes to a truly hot & humid climate (not limited to only Outlier products). I thought 4-way stretch pants were neat, but many (possibly all?) that are fully synthetic tend to "look" odd with items in front pockets and most importantly do NOT breath and provide comfort in said hot & humid environment which rules them out for me. Outlier offers 4-way stretch in their 60/30 chino; a hybrid cotton/synthetic material which breathes better than fully synthetic materials; but it is still going to feel heavier and more stuffy than the F.Cloth so I don't keep any in my wardrobe.

The true core items of their company are 1) ultrafine merino tees; 2) Slim Dungarees; 3) pivot-sleeve shirt design. The tees are basically the best merino tee you can buy, as all the other (cheaper) alternatives are noticeably lighter in weight, less soft/fine in hand and largely develop pilling and holes quicker/worse than the Ultrafine. The SDs are just a more durable and most importantly a more casual (without looking like "streetwear", or even "urban techwear") pant that provides minimal stretch and a gusseted crotch for unhindered movement. I've worn them for plenty of physical activities and they are completely the Texas heat. Finally, the pivot sleeve shirt design is great, whether tucked or not you just get a very different fit and range of motion than is normal for a buttondown shirt - just be sure to size by your actual neck measurement.

I think the thing most people tend to overlook if they've never had merino before is just how truly long wearing and year-round it is. I wear the tees most days of the week, and have even worn them to the gym. I wash any given tee after perhaps 3-5 wears, and I am no stranger to sweat with our 95-105 daily average temperature (still in the 90s through Halloweenish). The stuff is great, it dries quicker and easier than cotton, is more temperature regulating than anything else (warms you when it's cold, but not when it's hot), isn't itchy like standard wool and has great anti-odor and moderate water protection properties. The garment where this is most apparent is actually the socks. Whether hot or cold weather, sneakers or boots or dress shoes, these are the greatest. They don't stretch out and become misshapen from wear, they don't hold odor so you can actually get multiple wears between washes without feeling gross about it, and they don't make my feet sweat - which I am reminded of any time I put on some Nike socks for a trip to the gym (where I now just wear these instead). Quality merino socks aren't cheap, just look at Darn Tough & Farm To Feet for alternatives, but these are the least sporty / branded option and for me the better of them as well.

(end rant)

I'm actually a fan of the 60/30 chino, now having worn it around for two days. They are a little limited in the old selection department, though. Heh.

I picked up one of their shirts, a collaboration with Mishka, in 'Grape' colour. Was in sale, reduced from about £80 to £40. It works really well with Indigo, Black and Grey denim. Fit is perfect and the construction/pattern matching is fautless.
