Okay so I've never owned a CPO, I've wanted to buy one and these look good. Is it a must have item? That's what I'm debating. I live in NC so I know I'd use It a lot

Classic CPO design, that NEVER goes out of style, with heirloom quality. I would challenge to find one of this quality for the price point. |

I really like the look of these. Having to add a $30 shipping charge to Canada puts it out of bounds though.

In my haste to quickly order up the Maritime this morning, I didn't notice the 10% discount on these. I contacted Mina, and its already taken care of. |

TS has been bumming me out with nice releases NOT in my size. I asked them a while back and they stated that the 48 are not a huge seller for them, which is too bad. |

has anyone else noticed the workshop series has kind of dried up a bit? was that just a test that they went through or do they roll out things to it on an occasional vs. regular basis?

I wonder how big a seller the size 36 is? I don't know if they make the same amount of shirts in all their sizes, but you would think they could make a lesser amount of XXXLs just to cover their bases. |

Yeah, I still don't get the whole "how much does it take to make more sizes" thing with clothing. Even with hella expensive jackets, I don't get any grief and I've never had to pay more for a larger size. |

In their reddit AMA they said the workshop was gonna be few and far between during the holidays, just to get things in peoples hands quicker. Guessing its gonna come back after the new year. |

Sort of feel like o should have gone for the flannel I don't think you'll feel that way once you get it in hand. I know for me the TS fits have been right on the money, and I think the CPO will be simply marvelous. |

I had a similar experience where the guide and CS had me order a size that was too small. Next size up fit very well. Hopefully the cpo is sized to layer a bit |

Hopefully the cpo is sized to layer a bit I take a TS 46, and they usually measure out to 25" pit-pit, which is my sweet spot. For me, if I wear a shirt measuring 48" in the chest, it starts to pull on the buttons, but I like a little room to move, and some guys like them tighter fitting. |

Hyde brushed flannel shirt, navy gingham, size 42 This is my first TS shirt that was made in Portugal instead of the USA. Fabric is awesome; soft and cozy, but not too hot for Florida "winter". Construction seems to be very good throughout. Pattern alignment is laser straight, even on the cuffs. Shirt comes with copper collar stays, which are nice to have for this fabric to help stop the collar points from curling up and looking like crap. The cut is versatile; it looks good tucked, untucked, or under a casual jacket/blazer. Pretty much ideal for the ambiguous "biz casual" wardrobe needs. This is after one cold/cold machine wash and hang dry. I didn't do before and after measurements, but it definitely shrank a bit (especially length and sleeve) despite TS saying it was pre-shrunk. I'd estimate it lost 1/2" in sleeve length and 3/4" to 1" in body length. I'd probably go with the 44 instead of the 42 if I had it to do over again, but the best outcome for me would be if TS offered a tall fit. Pics of untucked length can be found over HERE.  |
