Post wash pics. It now feels relaxed rather than big. I didn't measure, but the sleeves & length must have shrunk 1/2".

Shoulder pleats that give it a roomy feel while keeping the shoulder spot on.

Perfect, summ3r. That is a damn nice looking/fitting shirt. FYI, my loathing of the color purple is due to an obsessive allegiance to the alma mater and my pure hatred of the in-state rivals. I've been conditioned since birth.

gmb, you're probably right. I actually have to limit my visits to SELA, or else I would be homeless.

You're also right about MF's sizing. There are only a handful of shirts that would work, based on measurements. This is the main reason why I stick with IH instead of experimenting with the other brands. I haven't had much success when I strayed, in the past.

A MF visit will happen someday, gmb. We are so lucky (and cursed) to have all these amazing stores in our backyard, aren't we?

Thanks Sean.  I would struggle living so close to SE.  It's hard enough to show restraint when shopping online and I can't even imagine being able to stroll in on a random Tuesday evening.

I empathize with that emotion.  I feel much the same about baby blue.  I don't think I've voluntarily worn anything in that color since I convinced Mom to let me choose my own clothes.

^^If that's a visceral hatred for all things Tarheel, I am guilty of this as well.

No big loss, it's not like I'd be wearing baby blue anyway. I do think I recall it figuring into a certain heavy flannel's colorway though…

Pique Ranch blouse, took it in same size (36) as lot 64 denim ranch blouse. What a beauty

Hi davito, always appreciate your pics choices.

Maybe an odd question but do the Speedway pants bag out/ stretch quite a bit? Thanks man.

[mclaincausey]

I would be so tempted to leisure suit it out if I had the pique in top and bottom

[davito]

Here we go pique tux

Nikkiong thank you

Eastwest thanks, the pants are still unsoaked and are fine cinched. You can rely on MF charts, i expect about an inch shrinkage in waist we'll see

Wow the pique Ranch blouse looks great, both paired with denim and as a tux.
Loving your boots David!

[mclaincausey]

Daaaaamn… That works way better than it did in my head!

[Chiba J.]

Pique ranch blouse and pique tux look outstanding Davito, nicely done!

The pique ranch blouse has such a great casual feel. Really like it.

Excited to see the summer looks you come up with the pique blouse and pants! (one of the madras shirts would look killer with the pique…..)

Buckleback chinos came in today. Trying them on with the green skivvy, Ranch Hand, Road Champs.

[summ3rhays]

Looks great.  The ghost images are pretty cool too.

[mclaincausey]

Thanks–I went to the site to get pique and wound up with these. I really like them, great selfedge fabric, light and with a nice sheen.

[seanocono]

So solid, mcl.

[Chiba J.]

Looking good MCL. Color on those chinos is great too.

[Bluegrass]

Great look. And good Lord, you all still have snow!?!?

[EastWest]

Great fit, don't look as baggy as the measurements would suggest.
