I went to the shop in Westfield this morning. The sale stock was still so good and so deeply discounted.

I just purchased one of the textured silk/viscose tees in the weird blue colour. It's incredible and I'm thinking of grabbing the black and grey as well. For £10 each, I think it would be foolish not to.

I also picked up the dark navy seersucker blazer. Size 50 fit me bang on. It would have been a great jacket at retail but with 50% off its just insane.

How long is the tee? Would be great if you could check the measurements.


Need some basic beater knits for summer and wonder if anyone here tried these on?

My tape measure says 76cm from back of neck to hemline in M.

I'm 6'2" and 12st6 and its perfectly long and drapy on me.

How long are they?
I'm a size Large pretty much across the board and need my tees around 28" back length from neck.

I have washed mine once. In a size medium back length is about 28" from neck. The material is stretchable and kind of hard to measure.

I'm just 5'6", so rather long and drapy on me as well =D They will shrink a bit after washing. I just measured mine and it was 28" (71cm)

Alright, thanks guys.

Gonna order a couple of the tees. I'm 6'3, 42 chest, so I guess a Large should be about right? Want them long and drapey.

Yeah, I've seen that Dries too. Snowman has it or something similar from Dries. Gonna order the knit and will write back here once I've got it.

i'm wondering if the listed length of 60cm is really accurate for a medium? seems incredibly short, was gonna order it until I saw that.

Oh, thanks for the heads up.
That's way too short for me. If that's accurate, there's no way even a L would fit me. Need them around 70 cm.

The linen / cotton jumper isn't that great imo. I backed it. It's about 90% cotton and 10% linen. Surprisingly 'heavy' feel to it which gives it quite an awkward shape.., i found it very unflattering. There are also some metallic flecks in it, which either look cool or terrible depending on your preference. Just my experience! Might cop the loose knit though.

Anyone have any experience with the wool leisure trousers?
I am a 35~36" waist and I have ordered a large rather than XL because they look like a pretty relaxed fit.
