Reigning Champ
I cannot speak about the material, but just a word of warning : these pieces, like most of their stuff, are now made in Vietnam, not in Canada like it used to be. (RC has been bought by Aritza in 2021)

They're much smaller than expected; you're right about shrinking.
And following up with the seller is a good idea, I'll look into it — if I can manage my way through Japanese translations!

I'm asking because I tried the 1950s coverall instore, fell in love with it but I couldn't swallow the sweet Canadian pricing. Size 3 felt pefect.

T-shirts for short guys?
If you can't find anything, you could still tuck them in, or buy a bunch and bring them to a seamstress to get them shorten. It's a very quick job that won't cost you much, especially if you bring them in batch, plus it's easy to find a local retired lady (or man) offering their service for that kind of job if you want to spend even less.

(In fact, I recently bought one and I'm patiently waiting for warmer days to try it)

Too far away from the border, sadly, and I don't have an easy access to a car... Lucky you!
