Can't say I remember reading about your build type. I would give it a try, order from ndc. They do free return shipping in case things don't look the wy you want them.
Washed my black pair.. I suggest woolite and hang dry. I threw mines in the dryer for a few minutes and they did fade a bit. I didn't try to shrink them though.
Same here, shipping lady is out for lunch.. They will place the item on hold with your info. The shipping lady will return calls to process the payment.
Let us know what she gets shipped to her if you find out. I've seen couple people ask the same question. Would be good to know about a recent transaction.
