The aftermath:  That's just a nice, modern, fit right there. It really accentuates his upper six pack. |

I bought mine a little too large for normal wear, once it stops with the freak snowstorms around here it'll be my go-to spring jacket. As noted, it shrinks like a mother in a warm wash and hit dry. Mine started out too large in the chest and too long and is now just about perfect. This guy has seen a hot wash and hot dry, so I'm pretty sure I've gotten all the shrink out of it that I'm gonna. Length on it is pretty good, it's just too baggy if worn over a single tshirt so it is a light coat. |

I know that's a crazy idea and caused MiddleAge an extended timeout already. |

I know that's a crazy idea and caused MiddleAge an extended timeout already. I am fine with the idea. It just looks fugly. I have been looking at people pictures here and SF. I have not changed my mind on that. |

It fits fine as an over shirt, which is the purpose I had when I bought it, so all is good. I'll reserve commentary about the ugliness of said shirt from someone who just paid hundreds of dollars for cargo pants.  |

Is there much of a difference in fit between the work shirts (slim-large fits me well) and the dress shirts?

I would also like to know hog the fit differs between the oxfords and button downs. I ordered my workshirt thinking the fit would be the same

I went with the same size in both (XL Classic). I find the button down to be a bit more trim.
If the WorkShirt isn't quite the right fit try soaking. I got some shrink (exspecially in length) on my denim shirt.

I think the workshirt is meant to be the same, but the heavier fabrics they make them out of tends to negate any minor changes present in the pattern. They do share the same fit guide, though, and post washing, I don't have any marked differences in my slim xl workshirts vs button downs. I do recommend re-sewing the buttons on the workshirts when they arrive, though. |

I mistyped Ned meant the fit from the Oxford to the workshirt. It seems that people find the WS to be bigger. I read about the buttons coming loose on the WS and will be sure to watch out for that. Excited about the blackxcoal WS as I have this fabric as an apron and love it.

Excited about the blackxcoal WS as I have this fabric as an apron and love it. It should be great once it starts to relax a little bit. I have the jeans and an apron, missed out on the workshirt. It took me about 30 minutes or so to re-sew the buttons while watching tv, and now the buttons on my indigo jacquard, they don't seem to be going anywhere now. |

Ok, thanks for the info. I am excited about the WS and was worried about the sizing.

I picked up some wooden buttons and had them sewn onto my Wabisabi work shirt. I like the look rather better than the navy buttons that came with it.  |

Their regular shirts run one size small, so buy one size up on those. The workshirts run true to size, so buy your regular size.

Not to be contrarian, but I can't corroborate this statement unless it's referring to something other than the slim patterns (in which case I can't speak to it). My latest XL slim workshirts came in the same size as my XL slim button downs. |

A large tshirt would be equivalent to a slim xl workshirt or button down according to sizing advice and the fit guide. What you're saying here would indicate that they run true to the fit guide, unless you're saying classic xl and slim xl are the same fit in your experience, which would be contrary to my experience. The classic large I do have are roughly equivalent in size through the chest, but have a generous cut through the belly, where the slim are more trim through that area. |

The slim is more slim, but its still the xl that Will fit if one is an xl in classic.
Im not an xl, that what im saying. Im a 40 chest and that is not extra large at least not where im from. The fitguide suggest i could fit a large but its too tight in the chest so im saying 1 up from what you think based on the fit guide and then use that same size in slim if you want a slimfit and the arms and shoulders should work aproximately the same.

I wear a slim xl because I want the slim cut. The two I fit are the slim xl and the classic l, but I don't have a preggers belly so I avoid the classic. I'm not a fan of the extra length, but I'd rather have an extra bit of length than a chest and shoulders that are too small. Length doesn't make it unwearable for me, the other two do. |

Wow those colored weft workshirts are funding slowly, despite Gustin's claim they are super limited.
Does anyone here *not* own an indigo workshirt? Is a colored weft enough reason for a casual workshirt wearer to buy a second one? It's a shame they couldn't dig up a *selvedge* 13oz denim & dye that.
I'm more a dedicated workshirt wearer (collector?) so I'll probably back the yellow, but at this stage (14%) I'm not confident it will fund.

I'm more a dedicated workshirt wearer (collector?) so I'll probably back the yellow, but at this stage (14%) I'm not confident it will fund. I have one in indigo but it's not denim, and I'm not keen on denim workshirts. If it had hit the price of other non-selvedge workshirts I'd probably have been in on one anyway, but this is sort of a perfect storm of criteria for me not to buy one. Like I said, I'm sure they'll be great, I just don't want one. If I were into denim workshirts, or if these were planned as westerns, then the colored weft would absolutely be reason to buy a second if I already had a denim workshirt or another western on the way. It will look significantly different from, say, a cone 101. |

I am sure everyone is so eager to buy a dark Indigo workshirt in April.... perfect timing for the July sunshine |

I might eventually, but these just didn't tickle me. |
