think NMWA is doing some work on the site, some stuff are not showing up is probably why

Btw, the Naissance blue mandarin collar jacket is awesome. Nice alternative to the current safari rage. People should give it a try while 50% off. Definitely getting Naissance again in the future.

The Monitaly pleated linen easy pants are dope

Wow! Just wow. I received my preordered Inis Meain New Aran Sweater yesterday. You can't possibly believe how incredible this thing is without seeing it in person. And I had high expectations...

From the preorder photos, this is the exact color way - which NMWA didn't stock:

Only problem, as does happen with preorders is that these really did come up small. I ordered a Large which has always been perfect in Inis Meain for me, but it fits one size small for sure.

Anyone here happen to order an Extra Large and lose a lot of weight since March and want to trade?

Here are the measurements for the same sweater in a different color way that Nmwa is stocking:

Anyhow, long shot, but otherwise I imagine I'm going to have to eat the loss. Figured it was worth a shot at least!

Gonna be sad to not have one of these...

I believe "hiding" the sale items was the intent. But ads & cookies seem to be the way to uncover the sale items we viewed previously. However, FINAL20 doesn't work anymore

I just got an email that my Bumfreezer pre-order has come in. For the life of me, I cannot recall which fabric I picked out and it doesn't say which one in my order details. As I recall, all of the fabrics offered were pretty stellar so I am sort of stoked that it will be a surprise.

I think it may have been some sort of herringbone?

I was right on the herringbone - I got an olive green herringbone. I forget the exact name of the shade. The jacket is phenomenally awesome (the fit is perfect and that's something I always worry about with pre-orders) and seems incredibly warm for its weight. I do sort of wish I had ordered a brighter color though but that's just a thought I had as I went to hang it up and realized nearly every jacket I own is some shade of brown, green, or navy.

folks with a Norwegian rain bumfreezer jacket, how is it in 50 degree weather? do you find it too warm?

It was just under 50º here in Metro Detroit this morning and I debated between wearing my new Bumfreezer or my MA-1 flight jacket on the way to work this morning. I opted for the flight jacket since I drive a Jeep and had the top off and a cool morning and topless car seems like the perfect situation for a flight jacket but I sort of wish I had gone with the Bumfreezer.

I feel like I am always running a bit warm so I don't know if I will wear my Bumfreezer much until the temps are consistently a bit lower. It does seem pretty warm for its weight. I think around 50 would probably be my max with it. The temps are supposed to be around 45º on my way to work the next few days so maybe I'll try the Bumfreezer tomorrow.

Can anyone speak to the fit of the Bumfreezer vs other NR coats? I like the fit of the small DB I have. It fits great over a sweater for me but the arctic liner was too small, even over a tee.

My bumfreezer (XL) is one size down from my SB w/liner (XXL). I like the fit of both. I wear the SB over a sweater or jacket. I don't wear the bumfreezer over a jacket, but I will over a normal sweater (not a Kanata or the thicker Gray/Scott & Charters).

If you like the fit of the DB on its own, but it's too small with an arctic liner, then the S in the Bumfreezer is probably right for you

Am I the only one who laughs when they see that Inis Meain model? That dude looks like he'd rather be anywhere else.

Almost wore mine as well. Would've been a little too warm in the afternoon for it, but it's almost time!!

Nah, that guy is badass and always takes great photos.

To me, he will always be a "retired" MI6 asset, who isn't actually retired, all while running a wool mill, farming sheep, and hiding in the Aran islands as a cover.

 

[clee1982]

just got my Eidso field jacket in grey, love the fabric, fit is something I might have to get used to though (or just because I usually wear spotscoat or while random jacket is all more techwear like)

@mypants

That's what I fear might happen to me too. Have you taken measurements by any chance? I'm also a Large in all other IM. Worst case scenario, I'll put a Limited Edition in green with purple accents and bullswool on the market here...
