Anyone have size advice for the GRP Chunky Raglans? Based on all other GRP items I'd be a 7, but knowing how spongy, heavy knits can stretch and how these are sort of long to begin with, I'm thinking 6. I'm generally a 44, L to XL in most brands and 5' 11".

I’m generally a 43L and love the GRPs in 7. I wear my heavy GRPs a bunch and haven’t had issues with stretching.

I always thought these cards were a nice touch. Wondering if someone will start a NMWA trading card thread? You know, the Rookie Willy card, Greg as Manager with stern look and wad of chew, early Kyle cards maybe shot up in value after he was traded to Japan? Could be a thing! :-D

Has anyone washed their Inis Meain knits in a laundry bag in the washer? Instructions say do a hand wash but I hate hand washing so I'm trying to avoid.

Yes - linens, silk-linens, and cotton-linens only. Wrapped in a t-shirt, placed in a laundry bag, delicate cycle.

I just did this an IM linen/cotton cardigan, and it deformed slightly so the line of the buttons pulls to the right. I am hoping it evens out with wear but…?

I wear US size 40R contemporary sportcoats. What would be Doppiaa teal cord equivalent?
I'd go 52 but you can check the measurements and compare to one of your jackets
