@Crackerman theres a 12 day pending period for all reviews on the store. I might be able to shorten this. Could you give the email you used to write the review? I’ll double check yours is in queue
I will DM you the email address, its been a while but if we get it shorter I will be review bombing all my stuff. :)
 
A tad longer wouldn’t hurt, esp when wearing a jacket etc, I own a few bc of quality even though at 6’4” 275 it’s a bit short.
Yup, I'm 6'5", vary between 260-275 depending on season of beers, and here's the extra rub that Origin now refuses to address: I'm looking at 42" waist for pants as a minimum for AIWB EDC. Not because I'm a fat fuck, but I now carry everywhere all the time, full size semi autos. USED to buy Origin pants, but they refuse to go a size up even as an option anymore. I think I was just looking at your FE shorts the other day when I ordered the Patteson, IIRC only go to a size 38 waist.....is everyone on the Staff this small, or smaller?
 
the only real complaint Ive had with any of the products I have is
1. the flannel buttons just aren't it, I can't keep them buttoned.
2. the Armageddon Gear bino harness needs more adjustment for little fellas like myself. It's baggy and catches on tree stand sticks.
 
I've got a Mexican Wedding Shirt that is unwearable without looking like a retard because the buttons were sewn on incorrectly. The bottom of the shirt is a couple inches uneven from one side to the other. Always looks like I misbuttoned it, but I can assure you that's not the case.
 
That’s got to be frustrating.

I had a wood shop teacher in middle school who had a go-to line when people would come and ask him what to do, as in next, and it always started with throwing your project in the large trash can adjacent to his desk, followed by “fall back ten yards and punt”. I think Mr. Smith would take that shirt and toss it in the basket, tell you to take the yards and punt, and buy another shirt and try again.

@Imitesh - I’d put it in a fire pit, add some fuel, and offer it up to the field gods, and pray for salvation, and then buy another and expect a better outcome.

I'm going to need a photo of this on. For...research purposes.

The sleeve buttons, or all the buttons?
 
Hey guys, when I’m asking why you’re not buying a product, I’m not trying to get you to buy the product.

I’m trying to find out why you don’t want it, need it, or like it. It’s market research that will inform whether we’ll continue with a product, change it, or discontinue it after sell-through.

FE Society members are our most engaged base because of the different funnels you’ve dropped through to get here.

What I guess I’m trying to say is your opinion really matters to me and Field Ethos and we’re going to base a lot of our products off your feedback.

This isn’t a sales driver.
I’ve still purchased new additions when they come out but a couple things that I dislike about your button down shirts. First is sizing, i normally wear an XL from most other retailers but your shirts I have to get a XXL. The shoulders, chest, waist is all normal compared to other manufacturers but your sleeves seem to run extremely small. Even up sizing I have a hard time getting my arms into them. Also the rayon drives me crazy, who has time to properly wash and dry rayon. Can almost certainly guarantee further shrinking and ofcourse wrinkles. That being said I enjoy the out of box casual themes such as Archer, Mexican wedding, and Gin shirts.
 
I really wanted to be a fan of the zenith shorts when I got them but they seem flimsy. Maybe it’s just how stretchy the fabric is but they feel like they’re gonna rip every time I wear them. The sizing is also way off. I wear a 32-34 or large in everything so ordered a large and they’re massive. The kuiu shorts are the best comparison I have, I prefer the tougher feel of that fabric, the button rather than a snap, and the thicker and wider belt loops. The zenith shorts are way stretchier and considerably more breathable. Y’all’s loose cut is more comfortable but the belt loops make it really hard for me to wear them. A side utility pocket would also be dope. I look forward to getting the camo v2 shorts.
