      Under the sizing tab there is a note to say 'sizing below is prewash'. Does this suggest shrinkage? If so anyone any idea how much and with what type of washing?

        I think you would be really bummed out if you did anything but dry cleaned this one…..

          I wash mine in gentle 30C wash, I have seen little if any shrinkage…

            Got this during the sale.  Won't be able to wear it until late fall/winter because this sucker is warm.  Size small.

              Grabbed the last navy! Was waiting for the lined chambrays to drop, but couldn't resist this at USD 250..

                  Didn't expect this to be so "jackety", as I was originally planning on wearing it more as a shirt. But, it quickly became my favourite fall jacket. So versatile!

                      @Giles are there any reruns or a new version planned for these?

                        Not that I know of.  That is why the remainder went into the sale….

                            I gave mine a wash a couple of days ago. 30 degrees, no spin cycle. Took like forever to dry, but it was totally worth it! It tightened up in all the right places and got little bit softer. Such a nice piece, and I can finally wear it as both a shirt and a shacket.

                                @riffblaster general I have my XL Red up for sale/trade if you are interested. Amazing shirt/jacket that I love - just doesn't get the wear in my "southern tropical" climate that it deserves. Plus has become slightly too snug for me to comfortably wear as I want to.

                                  This shirt is sick. I've had 3. One of my "go to" winter pieces.

                                      @riffblaster general no worries dude - I moved mine yesterday to a much more suitable home up north. Hope the Large works out for you!
