Luckily I know Greg is roughly one size bigger than me, so it makes it easier for me to know what size would work where he discloses it in videos or in this thread (usually works, but there are some brand outliers).

I think it’s unlikely from what I’ve seen of their previous yarn selection. Also, they tend to use the very best merino and wool yarns, so I’d imagine they would use high quality cashmere yarns if they were to make those, which means something as yarn-heavy as the basketweave would end up costing well over $1k retail.

Makes sense, I just thought it'd be nice to have some cashmere for that style. I generally prefer cashmere or silk blends for knitwear that go up higher on the neck like turtlenecks. Understandable that the price point might be a tough sell though.

Either way, looking forward to what you guys bring in next autumn.

I’m a bit confused by this statement. I don’t know how to read it. We’re based in the US and all of the sizing advice we write is based on how our sizes fit on us. So when we say a XL is true to size, it refers to a US traditional XL fit.

The limitations of trying all the pieces ourselves and giving sizing feedback is that all three of us are on the larger side (L-XL tops and bottoms, although Kenshawn is more of M bottom and I think Ludwin is trending that way too). So, because grading is not universal, it’s very possible that we find our size to fit a certain way (TTS or small) and that a Small or M would not fit that description. Because grading.

Not to be weird, but can we get y'all's height and weight? I never know how to take sizing advice in the drop videos without it.

I would go TTS Brannock or dress shoe size (not sneaker size). If you have narrow feet, you could try half size down

This sounds right to me. I usually wear a 7 USA in dress shoes, but I’m on the small side of the size I think. (Like a 7 is sometimes a bit loose — even for a last that isn’t generally known for needing a size adjustment — and never small.)

My Michaels in size 40 are more or less fine, especially with thicker socks. But I’d probably be better off a half size down. It seems like Paraboot does make 39.5s but very hard to find.

I missed the pre-order, but I wanted that thing SO BAD.
