Yes, this seasons Type 3 came out much smaller than previously. I foolishly didn't double-check them before putting the restocks up online, so I didn't catch this until we got some customer feedback. I can't really check them still, since we shipped out almost all pairs before I found out about this, but I'll try to get some details from Geller about what happened, and will update the measurements as we get pairs back as returns (if we do).

Has anybody bought Type 3s from other stores this season and found the same issue?

This is why I still don’t have the off-white type 3’s. Sizing is always very inconsistent. It bought 3 pairs of black type 3’s before finding a pair that was the same fit as my 5-year fades, I’ve bought 3 pairs of off white type 3’s and they’ve all been excessively skinny (I figured type 1 and 2 mis-labeled as type 3’s).

I still really want a pair of the off-white too, the colour on them is great

@tonio028 the type 2s have always run smaller in the waist from type 3s and I've tried on multiple pairs. I'm a 32 in type 3s and 34 in type 2s. I couldn't even come close to buttoning up the waist on the type 2 size 32.

I had the same issue as Occulta, for the 5 year wash and black pairs 32 fits me perfectly. The black stretched out more so fits a little loose now but is good. The off white in the same size fit tighter and I have pulling on the fly area where you can see the inner placket so I've never work them.

East Dane added the camo boucle sweater and the Lieutenant sweater, and are currently running a 20% off for order under 500 and 25% for over 500.

And Totokaelo added some stuff (navy camo night shirt is super dope, I can't think @conceptual 4est and @gdl203 enough for sending that my way).

@WBaker Thanks, I'm jealous of your oiled coat though.
I was hoping to pick up the Thomas coat or Thomas hooded parka but it doesn't looke like the coat is around in my size and I haven't seen the parka at all.

@OccultaVexillum Glad were even :fistbump:

I kinda wanna see that field shirt styled like they did Cloak's workshirt for 06, might look stupid but I see potential with the right fit.

Yeah I think there's a lot of ways to do it. It's been like 90-95 here all week and suddenly today is 58 so I literally grabbed it on the way out the door cos all I had was a t-shirt (that's why I didn't lead with the fit pic lol).
I wasn't sure of the flap pockets but I ordered it because it was the only style the purple paisley pattern was offered in. And I figured if it arrived and the pockets were too weird I could just take off the buttons and pocket flap. It actually works really well though with the pockets. I think it would look good with the cargos from SS15 and the combat sneakers from this season. Throw the parka on top if it shows up, or the drifter coat from last season.

Wearing an old flannel with awesome cuff/semi-throat latch details from several seasons ago. Feels good.

@keanswon this is a special thing.

Greens going around, was the burgundy picked up by any retailers?

I'm not sure. Ssense has black. I've been wanting a burgundy long coat for years ever since this thing came out:

So of course I had to get the Thomas, despite the other two long coats I already own (and that's been downsized from five last year haha). It's really an elegant piece — slightly dropped shoulders and the button stance give it a relaxed cool look.
