Speaking of Valstar, just tried on my Field Jacket again that had been sitting in storage for a while. I forgot how awesome it is. Probably one of the best coats I have ever purchased, hands down. Comfortable, warm, and incredibly flattering.

Was that a few years ago? I don't remember it.

Feel free to post pic(s) if you haven't already!

Still can't decide on a FJ option...need something versatile that isn't too heavy. Hmm...leaning towards the navy Donegal that is stocked


Navy will always be the most versatile choice and this is a good weight:

Are the Eidos MTO FJs available in S and L lengths?


No and will not be again in the future as our supplier does not want to make them.

welp, took the plunge on an MTO Clubman (navy lambskin with black satin lining). really excited for it if sizing works out like i hope (went TTS after a lot of internal debate and measurements comparisons to other garments I've bought from NMWA). the slimness of the chest gives me a little bit of pause but felt like sizing up would've meant going too wide on the shoulders and possibly too long on the arms. also i'm assuming the maker would fully intend for someone to wear the same size in all of their jackets, and since my Manila fits impeccably...

I personally prefer a size up in the Clubman, but here are some photos for guidance.

Here is me in a 36 Manila in tan suede (36 is my usual size in just about everything)




Here is me in a 36 Clubman:










Here is me in a 38 Clubman:











I hope this helps, and as always please let us know if you guys ever need any sizing pics like this!
