7 Downie St. shirts and polos are sized Small to XX-Large (a few styles go to XXX-Large), not by collar and sleeve. The dress shirts are labelled contemporary fit on the product pages, which sits between slim and classic, so most men can order their usual size. Pants are sized by waist, W28 to W40, all with a 34 inch inseam to hem.
Below is how each style fits, what it costs today, and what to wear it with.
How do 7 Downie St. shirts fit and size?
Alpha sizing, Small through XX-Large, in a contemporary fit. The product pages describe the long-sleeve shirts as "a contemporary fit that works equally well under a blazer or worn open." In plain terms: trimmer than a classic shirt, but not tight. There is room to sit down and reach across a table.
With no collar-and-sleeve sizing, go by your usual size in other alpha-sized shirts. If you are between sizes and plan to wear a tie, take the larger. If you wear it open over a tee, the smaller will look sharper.
- 7 Downie St. - Dress Shirt - LT 3, $225 CAD. Crisp white, 100% cotton, non-iron finish, taped seams, Small to XXX-Large. Start here if you want one white shirt for the office and dinner out.
- 7 Downie St. - Dress Shirt - Pink, $225 CAD. The ZT70 SilkTouch knit shirt: soft, breathable, with a collar and buttons, so it wears like a shirt and feels like a sweater. Small to XXX-Large.
Short-sleeve shirts in white, navy and black are $175 CAD, Small to XX-Large.
Do 7 Downie St. polos run slim?
No, they fit true to your usual polo size, with stretch. The current style is the Virginia UltraFlex Mercerized Cotton Polo, $145 CAD, in blush, jade, navy and black, Small to XX-Large. Mercerized cotton has a smooth, slightly lustrous surface that, per the product page, resists fading and holds its shape wash after wash. UltraFlex is a gentle stretch, so the polo does not bind across the shoulders.
The colour to look at first is 7 Downie St. - Polo - Blush, $145 CAD. Blush sounds bold and wears quiet: it reads as a warm neutral next to camel, navy or grey. Navy and black are stocked at the same price.
How do 7 Downie St. pants and jeans size?
By waist, W28 to W40 (the Dublin goes to W42), and every pair comes with a 34 inch inseam. We hem in store, and if you order online any tailor can shorten them for a few dollars. Measure your true waist rather than trusting an old pair.
Fit names as they appear on the product pages:
- Voyager 5 Pocket Pant: the brand calls it a hybrid pant, "dressy enough to wear to the office, but with the function and comfort to wear just about anywhere else." 7 Downie St - Voyager 5 Pocket Pant - Camel is $225 CAD, with black and taupe at the same price.
- London: slim tapered jean, mid rise, 14 inch leg opening. The trimmest cut the brand makes.
- Chelsea: contemporary straight jean, mid rise, 16 inch leg opening. 7 Downie St Jeans - Chelsea is $175 CAD, currently in W38 and W40; other waists return with each delivery.
The jeans are a cotton and elastane stretch denim, made in Turkey per the product page. Between waist sizes, take the larger in the London and the smaller in the Chelsea.
What should you wear 7 Downie St. pieces with?
Camel Voyager pant, blush polo, brown belt, loafers from our Johnston & Murphy range: a client lunch outfit built from warm neutrals. The white LT 3 shirt goes under any navy or grey sport coat in our blazers, or open over a white tee with the black Voyager. The pink knit shirt is happiest with navy: the navy Voyager or a dark Chelsea jean.
How do you care for 7 Downie St. shirts and polos?
Machine wash cold, hang or lay flat to dry, and check the care label; the SilkTouch knit and mercerized polo are finer than a standard pique. The non-iron shirts need at most a quick pass on the collar and placket. Keep anything with stretch out of a hot dryer; heat wears out elastane.
Common questions
Do 7 Downie St. shirts run small?
Not in our experience. The pages call the fit contemporary, and most men take their usual alpha size. Between sizes with a tie, go up.
Is 7 Downie St. a Canadian brand?
Yes, it is a Canadian menswear label. Where each piece is made varies; the jeans, for example, are listed as made in Turkey. We only state a country of origin when it is on the label or product page.
What is the difference between the Voyager and the Dublin pant?
Both are five-pocket pants at $225 CAD, sold by waist with a 34 inch inseam. The Dublin runs to W42; the Voyager stops at W40. The product pages describe them the same way, so if you need the larger waist, order the Dublin. Email us if you want a hand comparing the two.
Can I order 7 Downie St. from the US?
Yes. Shipping to the contiguous US is a flat $10, free over $75. Pieces not made in Canada may attract duty and brokerage on arrival, charged by the carrier rather than by us.
