Shipping was a nightmare and it's not true to size at all. The chest is too tight and the waist too loose.. but I checked carefully against garment sizes comparing to the RL shirts I own so I am very surprised. I won't buy this brand again.
Normally, I’d spend some time with the product before reviewing its attributes, but I felt it safe to comment on some of the finer points. First, the shirt right out of packaging, went onto the ironing board. This shirt is a dream to iron, and takes very little effort to remove creases. Understanding that this is a washable wool; in other words, the wool has been ‘superwashed’; there are positives and negatives to consider in this processing, but in this case, it has allowed for a material to produce a sheen, unlike that of untreated wool. The shirt, drapes, beautifully, and the Tokyo fit is a nearly a tailored finish for my frame. I think these shirts will be all-around ideal for all seasons except for the summer, and for travel; with changing temperature conditions, will be optimal.
