On the topic of overcoat sizing, I want to compliment the job you've done on scaling the Mod 2 coats to fit over your jackets, @kevinsvindland. Probably the best I've come across from any brand. They work perfectly over a jacket for me, while remaining fitted enough to look just as good over casual layers. That's partly why I'd love to see you introduce more styles, like a polo coat.

Lol I just bought small 🤣 I’ll take my chances, I guess. I like a snug fit and I’m an XS in most SuitSupply and Uniqlo sweaters!

I think small is the right call. I believe we wear the same size jackets and have very similar proportions overall, and medium was definitely too large for me. This was in different sweater styles though, so I don't know if the half zip fits differently.

OK so I really, and I mean REALLY REALLY did not need another jacket. While browsing some stuff to help a friend make a purchase (I believe he snagged one of the gray flannel suits), I saw that some summer jackets were on 70% sale. With an additional 15% and a gift card... I feel like I just robbed you @kevinsvindland but that gunclub jacket was heading out to someone, might as well be me.

Was it the brown and blue Loro Piana? That’s gorgeous! No regrets getting it.

Agreed. I once bought a cashmere v neck in S and already, it was baggy as heck. By the size guide, this should fit perfectly.

It was indeed! I wanted to buy the yellow one, but you kinda need to be 60+ earn five millions euros a year, have a 20 year younger girlfriend and a 30 year younger mistress. You also need to have friends in high places and stage two skin cancer due to you chilling on your yacht nine months a year.

Don't own any of that, but I got a yellow one anyway 😎

No worries… the gun club is a fantastic jacket.

I had my eyes on the black tassel loafers in size 9, but it's sold out :angry:
