@ecsong187- They used to make the Stand Up in a 5" inseam. That's the one I like & wear. It was apparently discontinued last year but you may be able to find remnant stock here and there. The baggies have a very different cut & feel. They're really for outdoor activities, whereas the stand ups can be used as casual wear.

E.g., https://www.billandpauls.com/patagonia/stand-up-shorts-5-18247

Ha, me too, I have 3 pairs destroyed but wearable at home, one pair decent to wear In mixed company and 4 new, unworn pairs but it still requires a call to Patagonia. I’ll check back after my call.

Well FU*K, you are right JDelage, 2019 was the last year offered.  I asked why and of course got an “I dunno” response so I left a suggestion (no not that one!). The guy suggested REI and Dick’s sporting goods. Ah well, another classic bites the dust.

edit  just thought of an alternative, as a last resort buy the 7” inseam and have a tailor shorten them

Could someone with Tezomeya shirt post their shoulder & P2P measurements? Mostly interested in the 175cm and 185cm sizes. I know the chest measurement is posted on the site but I don't know what the stretching / shrinking is...

 

Thanks!

@JDelage, mine are tagged size 8 (I think this was the largest size, 185 cm?) and measure 22 1/4" across the chest, 19 1/2" across the tops of the shoulders, and 18 1/2" across the backs of the shoulders. It's worth noting that the sleeves are fairly long, measuring 9 1/2" from the shoulder / 5 1/2" from the pit. This is all consistent between two tees, one of which has been through the dryer and the other of which hasn't.

Next time I order from them, I think I'll go a size down.

Well, I placed an order with McFly on Apr 8th. They immediately did the EMS package registration (I got the EMS tracking number right away). I got confirmation on April 9th that the shipment was with EMS. Then I only got notification 15mn ago that the EMS package had left Japan and was en-route for France. So the package spent over 2 weeks in Japan with EMS waiting to fly out.

I expect it will then wait a few weeks at the French customs office...

Any UK guys recommend a decent leather worker to repair my OGL  wallet as the stitching is starting to unravel,  I d love to keep it going as opposed to getting a new one.

another thing with tezo tees in my experience is that the feel of the fabric seems to change according to the dyes used. i have one of the blackest colours they have and the fabric on that one apart from seeming a bit "thicker" when worn has stayed soft after (7?) years, meanwhile my "mourning" colour tee has become sort of rough and almost crispy especially after a wash even though supposedly both of them started off as the same plain loopwheel tees.

Anyone wear fancy briefs or boxer briefs? Any recommendations? Have a couple pairs from Merz that I like a lot, and a pair from Ues that I don't like so much—both because they lack a fly and because they're part synthetic. For years I wore Kalvins and pretty much nothing else, but they changed their fit at some point around 2–3 years ago to one that no longer works for me; my stash is starting to dwindle and I figure this is as good a time as any to start upgrading more consistently. The Stevensons look good, but the only place I'm seeing them for sale is Self Edge and, while I'm sure it's a reasonable price for what I'd be getting, $80 / pair is more than I'm willing to spend right now. Looking specifically for 100% natural fiber.

@kiya, I remember you talking a few years ago about doing some testing yourself and putting together a list. Did anything ever come of that? (Am I just imagining things here? Wouldn't be the first time…)
