Returned the soft pants... Received the raspberry knit and indigo overlock overshirt. They are both awesome.
Back to the subtly oversized fits of 3-4 years ago.

If you can find your size in the sweater I would definitely recommend it. If I could find the grey version in an XL I would be all over that too.
It’s just “wool” but feels like all my older yak blend sweaters. Thick, dense and dry.

The overshirt is thicker than I was expecting (good news). Calling it “jersey” made me wonder if it was just going to be like a thick t-shirt but it’s definitely a thick, outer layer. If your skinny or like a slim fit you could size down on the overshirts.

The stuff I ordered from the Lemaire we shop isn’t supposed to be here until next Monday and I have to leave on Sunday for a week long trip :(

I’ve had my eye on this knit and Simons has it on sale now. Thinking of XL for a relaxed fit. Generally wear a shirt with 18.5” shoulders and 22ish chest.

Does XL sound right? Looking for more relaxed than on his model.

I’m wearing those right now. Well, I’m pretty sure those are the same ones as last winter but FWIW they are much more interesting irl (browns and greens mixed into the grey).

Size 50 is at least 13” in the thigh but also 13.5” rise so keep that in mind. I didn’t measure but they are definitely more relaxed than most Schneider pants.

@bigOmyD yeah there is. Check simons.ca they have it.

Awesome, thank you. Right under their stated customs limit too.

Would you mind recommending me a size? I've heard to size down when it comes to IT fits.
I'm a ~41 inch chest, shoulder width ~18.5inches for a fitted shirt.
Not sure if I should go for an XL or L with this cardigan. The only "IT" brand I can use for reference is Stone Island. L runs fitted on me, XL is usually slightly too baggy for me bust-wise and sleeve-length wise.

@bigOmyD sorry man I have no experience with that piece. But if I was buying it for myself I would go TTS based off the raglan construction and the fact it would be worn mostly open. Matches measurements indicate it’s a pretty relaxed fit too.

Side note: I wish he’d do the draped cardigans again, I’ve always wanted one but finding an XL is impossible. There’s a medium for cheap on eBay though that somebody should buy.

What's the length on that raspberry knit?
