You know it my man! Looks fantastic! My Sunspel stuff came in too!
They are even softer and more luxurious than I imagined! Now it's off to the tailor with the 2 T's as even XS is too big on my scrawny arse )
I actually gave my Sunspel Ts to my brother and I'm eagerly awaiting the Orlebar Brown shipment to replace them. Sunspel has the perfect "classic" fit of a T-Shirt and excellent quality but it just doesn't fit me the way I want. I guess a tailor would solve that but I'm crossing my fingers that Orlebar Brown will solve the issue.
I have a 42 chest and 30 inch waist so I need a crazy taper and Sunspel doesn't really have the slim fit look that many brands embrace today. The Riviera line and their regular line actually don't vary that much (T-Shirts). The arms are slightly higher on my Riviera and the shirt is a bit tighter overall but far from a "tight" or very fitted look.
Now, the Riviera polo is an entirely different issue. That thing is perfect and I'll be buying replacements for the rest of my life. I find it a bit weird that the Riviera polo and T-Shirt, in the same size, have pretty different fits.
Thank you for your help.
Well appreciated.
I'm sure the Y3 didn't go through them
A previous Y3 I had (didn’t quite fit perfectly in the chest after I gained a bit of muscle) went through them. For the one I have currently the fantastic gentleman I bought it off was kind enough to post it direct to me here in Aus :007)
For the Sunspel buyers living in the US who ordered on Black Friday.
Did any of you encounter a delay by the UK custom in clearing your DHL package ?
Mine is stock since Monday and I spoke with Sunspel who said DHL needs a copy of your passport !! My order is not even above $100. I found that really strange.

Might have to pick myself up some of those tee's if there's a January Sale, they look great. Enjoy them brother. Are they softer than the OB tee's?
The Riviera sure is a piece of work, so nice to finally have it in my possession.
I totally agree, the T's are not as slim fit as the polo. My V-Neck is super tight in the chest, huge in the arms and boxy in the waist. I like a boxy waist from time-to-time because it makes me look more well rounded, so all I really need on that is the arms tailored. The grey crew is super tight in the neck and big everywhere else. Both shirts are waaay too long on me, but that is every shirt on me, so I will be getting them shortened as per usual for me. I think I'm so use to getting full overhauls on every article ofnclothing I get, that I don't even think about it anymore. A good tailor can make almost any shirt fit just how you want it. It's usually only $20 for a full overhaul, and I just factor it into the cost of every shirt now.

I did not have any holdups in delivery. Immune came much sooner than I anticipated, as my precious Sunspel orders always took like 2 weeks.

Thanks my man! Treat it right and it will return the favor. The OB T's are thinner and lighter, but similarly soft, maybe even feel softer because of how thin they are. The Sunspel T's feel very solid, but not overly thick by any means.
