Recent purchases - Part II

I did. First of all, they have this, which basically says “we know the measurements look small, bur don’t worry”.

The yarn used for knitting our Anfa Knit Polos have great elasticity. When measuring the Anfa knit laying flat, there is zero tension to the garment and measurements can therefore appear as "small".

And second, the smallest part is by far the sleeves, for which they don’t provide measurements. I work out but I’m hardly Arnold in his prime, and it was extra tight.

that's a shame. But good to know to size up, but the problem is that I wanted to try XL but even for XL the measurements seem that it might be little tight for me and I am not close to Arnold.

I guess you mean in age?

Maybe his dad was with the Austrian SA too?

BTW I’m not ruling out the possibility of them sending me the wrong size. It didn’t state the size in either of the two labels. I got the next size so we’ll see I guess.

Anyone have recommendations for mules / something like Bostons but aren't Bostons?

Check out the Birkenstock London. Got a pair a few weeks back for $70 during Notre’s 40% off the entire store sale and for some reason I have gotten way more comments about them than I would have ever expected for Birks. Pretty similar, but not mules.

As for recent purchases, I have mostly lost track owing to all the Summer sales going on and living in Hawaii which means it’s year round stuff. That said, did pickup an Elder Statesman Heavy Zip Hoodie after LA Guy linked to the Browns sale as it was only $455 shipped as opposed to $1825 on Porter and elsewhere stateside. Didn’t need it, but it is in black and a staple type piece I see rarely discounted as opposed to TES’s more outré stuff.

Also, bunch of stuff from Canoe Club’s sale like polos and so on. And picked up a Gitman Vintage x Kahala button down and Tanner Goods belt from Kafka Mercantile today.

Thankfully down to a medium now in many things after starting to play tennis 5-6 days a week so a sorta plausible excuse to buying so damn much.

Nice jacket, it reminded me a fun story, a few years ago Zara released a yellow pleather double rider for women that was such a hit here in Spain that you couldn’t be anywhere without seeing at least one girl wearing it. It became a meme and made it to the national news, it was called “the Amancia” after Amancio Ortega (spanish founder of Inditex/Zara).
