Did the Gloverall and Shetland sweater today... super happy with both. The duffle sleeves are a bit short for my ape arms, but that's my own genetic problem (and a good excuse to show off a watch)! Great coat, thank you.

Ape Arms ftw. I also have this problem with my gloverall. I think they just have short arms across the board. What size is yours?

 

[beez]

38 (same size as my sport coats). I am 6', 150 lbs, if that helps. I do M's in most of my epaulet gear.

Cool - thanks for the feedback guys - figured it would soften/itch less over time, but was def curious to hear from others. Much appreciated!

I'm a little concerned about this myself b/c I seem to be more sensitive to itchy wool. I was assuming it would soften but I'm wondering if a wash or two once it arrives wouldn't expedite this? Anyone travel this path with their Heirloom?

trying to get my first pair of epaulet trousers and thinking of going with the Driggs. Question for you veterans out there, I like the smaller thigh of the 33's but have the waist of a 34. Do I buy the 33's and let the waist out or go with the 34's? Seems like letting the waist out should be easy for a tailor? Does it make the waist look weird?

Thanks,
Chris

My personal taste is that I'd rather let the waist out than take it in.

Mike's POV and what I've found to be the general consensus is to size up, as it's an easier task for a tailor to keep proportions by taking in.

But everyone has their own preference...

Most of the cotton trousers will stretch in the waist. Just my experience. Size down

^What he said. That's a really interesting fabric.

Thanks! Yeah, it's got a lot of different color threads up close … including a kinda sky blue. I wore the Danube marl yesterday with light gray flannels, but didn't take any pics . I couldn't be happier with both of these.

Looks rock solid with those jeans.

Thanks! If memory serves, I think I might have emulated your fit from last week .
