I ordered a pair of the slim tapered grey jeans, they arrived a couple of days ago.

Even though I sized down to a 31 (usually a 32), they are a lot less slimmer than expected, kind of baggy around the knees.

Didn't really pay attention to the quality. They're going back.


Try the skinny? I purchased a pair from CoS in Bahrain and they fit pretty nicely, the top block is decently roomy/stretchy and a very tapered lower leg.

Fit similar to N&F Skinny Guy with more taper on the lower leg.

This looks like a pretty nice and simple shirt jacket. Better if it was regular buttons with a hidden placket though.

Anyone try their sneaks, specifically the new CP looking ones? Curious about quality/fit. I'm usually a 9-10, sort of a 9.5 in CP so thinking of going with 43 on the white pair.

I went to the Beverly Hills store today and picked up a pair of brown chelsea boots on sale. I was wary of their shoes, but they look to be reasonably well made and they fit well. I also had a $100 gift card that I got for attending a COS event a few months ago, so there's not much risk involved.

A few things I noticed - everything runs bigger than I expected (except the shoes). There was a black wool bomber that I almost picked over the boots, and the 42 was huge, the 40 was even a little roomy. The trousers all seemed big. I'm probably an M in the sweaters, in most brands I'm an L. Also, the staff was super friendly and helpful, but not at all intrusive.

Started buying my first COS items recently and pleasantly surprised by this season. Seems to be a bit of a Lemaire influence?

Picked up some relaxed pleated trousers for summer and a couple of nice muted color t-shirts. Also saw some collarless shirts (look similar to the UniqloxLemaire ones) and a long boucle cardigan that looked appealing.

We'll see about the quality in the long run. Still feel the prices could be a tad cheaper for what it is but maybe I'm off base on that.

No, you are not off.

Neat jacket, fit well, but I do wish it came in navy or gray.

Not sure if anyone cares, but to parody what someone else on this thread has reported, at least the outerwear - and this piece specifically - seem to be running somewhat oversized. (This Jacket With Large Pockets has an item description that says it's a relaxed fit.) Interesting anecdote regarding this piece is that it arrived with different buttons than the ones featured in the product shot. When I called the dubious COS CS person, I asked if I was possibly sent an old season item. When I recieved a reply via email, I was told that the item underwent post-production alterations so that this detail was changed when the item actually went into production. To make amends I was offered a 5% discount on my next COS purchase and was offered free return shipping in the event that I did not want the item.
