Valstar shearling peacoat in tan/natural pre-ordered. I've been waiting for this one for a loooong time! Thanks, NMWA team :)

I'm also curious about the weight and warmth of the work jacket: what temps/months in NYC do you think it would work well for?
It's really sturdy but at the end it's heavy cotton canvas + a brushed cotton lining so it's not going to be super warm in freezing temps

Was the Giorgio model a one and done? Personally prefer the straight lapels vs belly of this ivy model. Giorgio also looked longer but might be due to model height.

A few questions about the Valstar Davis shearling trucker.
  1. Is the 2nd color a chocolate or more of a taupe?
  2. Is the 3rd color navy or black?
  3. I'm a normal EU48/US38 so order a EU50?
Thanks for doing this NMWA. Amazing.

Any other pictures of the Valstar swatches by chance? Intrigued by color 7126 Timo. Or any comments on how it looks in real life (i.e. more green/blue or lighter/darker, etc). Many thanks!

I don’t know if it’s done for good but it’s not in the FW25 lineup. Nothing is ever guaranteed.

Three colors are off-white/off-white, light brown/natural and caffe/caffe. No navy or black. Yes I’d probably size up based on the measurements

Thanks. It's hard to assess the colors on the web. Caffe is exactly what I want.
