Anything in the pipeline in the way of sweatshirts? It occurred to me that I've been wearing the Beacon crewneck several times a week since it got colder out, and now I'm regretting missing out on the DJ crewnecks and Lugo hoodie in my sizes.

Chittenden parka fans, I need advice.

It was my first purchase from 18east. I bought it last spring to wear in the winter. I absolute love the construction, color and little details. But now that the weather's cooled down, for the life of me I cannot figure out how it's intended to be worn. I think it's so insulated that I overheat, not something I've ever experienced with my main jackets. I sometimes wear full on parkas open at 40 degrees and I don't over heat. But I can't do that with this. Is it something you can only wear when it's super cold?It feels lightweight in a way that you'd want something thicker. I feel like I can't even wear it inside on days when it'd be cold.

EDIT: And if anyone wants to trade some kind of 18east jacket in XL w me for a rust chittenden, lmk. Barely worn!

Just to be clear, I still think its an amazing piece in so many aspects, but I'm struggling to figure out how to wear it and wonder if I'm alone in this.

i feel you. i wear mine with a shirt only no mid layer — sometimes even just a tee — and only when it’s freezing out.

i also use the double zip to regulate temp a bit as needed, sometimes pulling the bottom zip up a ways so the bottom is open and some heat can escape

I have the black cotton sherpa hoodie from the bodega collab and will be wearing this winter. What’s the quickest way to shed this sweater? Put it in the wash for a few cycles? @NickPollica

18 East vest, sweatshirt, and pants

This may be blasphemy, but I never did like the cinch at the hems. Still haven’t but may eventually pull them out. Too long to leave untied. I just prefer the loose, flowy hem ymmv

Samantha very much agrees with you and I really, really do not.

I like the option of cinching and if not cinched, I just tie the ends loosely so that they're out of the way

Question for @NickPollica, are these going to be part of tomorrow's drop? It seems like a massive drop if so. And are the two pairs of Kell tweed pants going to get matching jackets like this summer's tailoring?

@NickPollica - do you happen to know if the sizing for the wool tweed Roy bakers will be the same as the jacquard versions?

I guess in years past the wool versions of things fit a little differently, so just trying to confirm.

Tomorrow's release is 16 styles, which is fairly standard for us size-wise, and includes the 3 new Grahame tees.

The Roys are cut from the same pattern, with the same measurement chart. We recommend taking the same size.

Only the charcoal/brown Kells are hitting tomorrow and they do not have a matching jacket. The brown ones come later and they do.

If I missed out on the Lamar coat online pre-orders, is it worth reaching out to see if there are some available in the studio? I vaguely remember reading in this thread you can reach out to see if there’s studio availability for some items. Thanks 🙏
