Sizing for the chunky alpaca/silk and the stonewall sweaters? Should I take the same size as my tunics?

many thanks

edit: nvm just saw the other post mentioning it's based off the tunic specs

I think they will render a bit shorter because the merino plating makes it quite a bit denser and less stretchy than the alpaca silk. We had a wool tunic last year and it also happened. The alpaca and the linen versions stretch noticeably and wear longer

Ah, good to know. I do depend on tunic stretchiness after pizza pig-outs. Decisions, decisions...

Thuya pre-orders returnable? Never dialed in my size.

Yeah, they are returnable to LuxeSwap.com

:lol:

FWIW, I wear a size US9.5 shoe and my foot has a low instep. (My right foot is size 9.5D on the Brannock scale, my left food is size 9.25C.) Every Heschung I have bought, including the Thuya, has been size UK8.5. They are all on the roomy side, but I don't think I could size down an additional half size without the shoe being too short.

I know it’s preorder chaos over there, just curious if there were any new collections dropping tomorrow?

Thank you for the chart!

Looks like I’m a 44 in the Clint which I’m going to order for sure. I hope you get enough preorders to run it. Would you recommend the same size in the oiled tweed long coat. The shoulder measurments look a little small for me and wondering if people size up or same size across the board for valstar.

I wear the same size across the board for Valstar. Of all styles, I find Valstarino to be the slimmest, while Clint is roomier, and so is my Milano coat. It's roomy enough to layer on top of a suit.

Out of curiosity what size did you wear in eidos jackets/outerwear like the ragosta or hunting jacket.
