I definitely agree that it is disappointing that they are using a lighter Melton.

However, did anyone actually use leg straps? I never have.
I actually did twice when it was really windy in nyc a few times.

Yes. The KS navy verison this year was on par with the thickness of the Drake's from my recollection. The KS windowpane was definitely lighter with more drape than the navy, not sure about previous years. My biggest takeway was the length, Drake's being longer.
Thanks this is very helpful!
The current wool used by KS for the traveller seems much lighter than the heavy melton used in years past. They also got rid of the leg straps and interior pocket, which is disappointing
Thanks for the info!

Literally worn once briefly… just can’t quite get with the fit. My loss is your gain.

This post is probably better served here. This thread is the affiliate link for the store.
