Anybody can speak to their experiences with the Biella and Lamar coats, and give me an idea what the fit on them is? Trying to understand which is a better option as the secondary market has both atm in my size

With the Lamar it’s pretty simple: size down one from your regular alpha size unless you’re comfortable with a super oversized fit.

I would also take one size smaller, unless you wear fairly wide pants.

First post on page 1167 shows a picture of a downsized Lamar. On the pages before that are some more pictures of the Lamar from other users.

Another question: Does anyone have a picture of the Cuoco and can tell me how the merino nylon yarn feels? (And if anyone knows explain what nylon adds to the yarn)

The nylon adds the uneven, bubbled texture to the yarn.

Thanks. I very rarely wash my knitwear/ take it to a dry cleaner (no clothes that require too much care for me). I never have the impression that it smells unpleasant. Is this also the case with the nylon or do odors tend to develop with nylon?

don’t size down. I have two Lamars, one sized down and one true to size and the latter wins hands down.

it’s not THAT dramatically oversized or anything, just a nice loose fit.

I’m in this camp as well. Have last years camel in a size down and this years black in my true size and prefer the true size.
Although it’s going to come down to your personal preference based on how you want it to fit.

I have the Biella in XL and Lamar in L and I would say they fit somewhat similar (the Lamar might be a touch bigger). The main difference is the weight and length. The Biella is lighter and shorter, which makes it easier to layer and throw on. The Lamar is a much thicker cloth, so it's warmer and is a longer style.

Both are great, but they are fairly different coats IMO

No more than any other fabric in my experience.
