It’s a relatively snug fit - and a little hard to get on, but I do appreciate the dimensions once it’s on! The fabric is nice - very similar to the old pincheck mechanic shirt material, snd the mixed matched buttons are less obvious when wearing - and kind of a cool hidden feature.

Thanks bud - I feel this was one of those shirts that just hit the proportions perfectly - it’s looked great on everyone I’ve seen, which pushed me over the edge during the Black Friday sale

@theorocks Nice! Are those the Lot 64? I'm looking at a pair right now and am curious how much yours shrank with a soak and stretched back out with some wear. If you get a sec, I'd love to hear your thoughts!

[mention]popvulture [/mention] Thanks I didn’t measure pre post …. The biggest thing for me was the fit particularly the Rise so the waist sits at a different spot which impacts what your usual thoughts/size in waist are. I
Was a bit worried at first I sized 33 but after the shrink they were snug in waist (almost uncomfortable) everywhere else was spot on good news the waist stretched enough so they are perfect now . It’s nice denim I have a sugarcane pink selvedge 14oz jacket that is fading beautifully.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Nice! Thank you — I ordered a 34 so we'll see. If they feel too loose when I try them on pre-soak, I might just send em back for some 33s. I know if I got the 33, it'd be very snug after shrinkage, but I'd rather that than a pair that's too big and gets bunchy in the crotch. I hate that about higher rise jeans.
Fingers crossed the 34s will be good.

Good luck I would say their posted raw - rinsed measurements they have posted are spot on

Alright, sweet — that’s reassuring. So much of this really has to do with me figuring out which measurements for higher rise waists work for me, haha. I’m so used to being more in the 666 zone.
-
@popvulture The Lot 64 cut is great. I wear mostly IH 666 but the Lot 64 is a slightly roomier and higher rise alternative. The higher back rise is preferable in my opinion. The MF size charts are pretty accurate in my experience, but if you do a cycle in the wash and dryer you'd be able to get more shrinkage.

They arrived just now — as I was kind of worrying about, I can tell the 34 is too big, and would likely continue to be even after shrinking. I'm gonna swap for a 33, should do the trick. That's an awesome henley, Theo!
And thank you @Palmer! I think the thing for me with higher waisted jeans is the sort of broadness of the top block. I'm not used to it. After trying these on just now, I ran into the same problem I've had a couple times — the crotch just gets bunchy, and I really wanna avoid that — not a great look. So, I think a 33 should be great. I don't need a drastically smaller size, just a bit would do the trick I think.

33s arrived and fit a helluva lot better. Soaking now — they’re gonna be snug once they’ve shrunk, but I’m imagining they’ll be ideal after some wears stretching em back out. Stoked.

Cool ! Yeah they will stretch mine were tight to the point were I wondered if I screwed up or the cut wasn’t going to work but they fit good now plus it helps keep you on track with the food booze etc lol

@theorocks haha yes, exactly the same experience. A bit of an oh shit moment when I put them on this morning, but they’re already starting to give a little.
What size did you get in that henley, by the way? I noticed the measurements on those things seems way tiny but I know they stretch a lot.

The Henley is a large I think I will double check I have a 40-41 measured chest yea the stretch and everything turns blue lol neat buttons too

Yeah large seemed like the way to go for me, too — thanks man! The MF site suggested sizing down but that seemed ludicrous given those measurements. Franklin and Poe suggested just getting your normal size.
And re: the blue yep I suspected that one’s a bleeder
