TGIF!

One day of work until Father's Day (Ascension Day).

Rain in May? Wear Barbour and L.L.Bean!

Heavy rain this morning with much more rain today.

But this is not an issue if you can rely on two trusted friends:

My Barbour Beaufort and my L.L.Bean Rubber Mocs.

Should I consider a Double L Jeans instead of this 501?

L.L.Bean Rubber Mocs.

Hello!

What´s the final word on the OCBD? After having washed a number of times, is it slim enough or does it balloon around the waist?

Hi A! 

Thank you for your question.

I guess you're referring to the L.L.Bean OCBD from this post?

To be honest: I sent it back as the sleeves turned out to be too short.

I do own 2 OCBDs: One light blue from some German Haberdasher and a white one from Charles Thyrwhitt.

The CT shirt was really big, so I washed it really hot and put it in the tumble dryer on hottest setting.

Both shirts do still balloon a bit around the waist, so I do a Military Tuck every time I put them on.

But I don't consider this to be an issue.

I guess is just a personal preference how slim your shirts should be.

BTW: CT sell slim OCBDs now.


Does this answer your question?

Best, 
Mike
