I think for CD you need to use a proxy as they usually do not sell via website. That being said, I've never seen them be limited in inventory so I definitely wouldn't pay a high premium for it.

I tried a friend's Century Denim no 5 pants the other day and fell in l o v e with how it fit on me so I snagged a no5 and no7 for myself. Gave them a soak and once it cools down will rock them with my boro sweater

X-post from Should I Buy thread

I've been thinking about buying the long ring coat for a while now and Kap just restocked it. But now I can't decide whether to go for the black or olive one 😬 help me out Kap gang!

I have the black.

If you don’t typically wear black clothing, I could see how the black might be a bit overwhelming. In that case, get the olive. But the black is more of a statement.

I also have the EG Barbour Zip Parka in black that I might have to factor in with my decision 🤔

I am sure you have olive outerwear as well. If you don’t or feel the overlap with the EG Barbour is too much, get the olive.

Is the EG Barbour lined or only a shell? Either way, the long Ring is very different.

The Barbour has more functionality as a proper piece of outerwear whereas the long Ring is a fun piece, but not very practical, if that is important to you. The cotton version of the long Ring offers little warmth in cold weather. You would need to layer a thick knit or a puffer underneath for the colder temperatures. Conversely, in warmer weather up to the 70s F, I have not been tempted to wear a long (non-rain) coat. So for me, the long Ring on its own is only relevant for a few months of the year.
