Idk would a belt look to much like a costume though? I believe you made post about this a bit back, what are your overall thoughts on a belt?

I try to avoid the belt if possible but it's better than the strings. If I were to add a belt to that particular jacket I'd experiment with a narrower width one instead of the usual 3.5cm like perhaps a 2.5. I would take the extra fabric from hemming the sleeves to make belt loops then use a thin fabric double ring belt.

Oh wow really like the down blazer. Wish the shell was wool rather than nylon. Reminds me of the blazers Moncler used to make years back.

Or better yet real leather.

I predict that wax jacket will be an all - time great piece from the brand. I won't wear it how they've styled it, rather I'd wear it with a sweater, but man... It looks great.

And, the Wax Jackets are up on the Preview List. That Navy looks terrific! Needs Fit/Sizing info, but my goodness, another choice piece of Outerwear! Lets see, the Trench, the Navy Melton Peacoat, the Ulster Coat and now the Wax Jacket... good grief

I truly welcome the new selections even if I can't wear them. More budget options the better for everyone.

Not everyone likes the scratched up look of waxed fabric. In this case I actually prefer a Storm System nylon instead.

I didn't ask you what you preferred. I provided my prediction.

Your prediction for yourself. My preference for myself. On public forum.

Look for some advice on dress shirt sizing. I have typically worn a 15.5 slim but decided to see if another size might work better. First photo 15.5 extra slim, than 15.5 slim, and 16 extra slim. I definitely think the 15.5 extra slim is too tonight.
On another note, these are the high rise corduroy in beige. Really like the fabric, but the pictures on the website were more off white/cream colored, which is what I was hoping for. Think I'm going to return them or maybe exchange for a different color

if I didn’t already have a Barbour I’d be looking heavily at these- they look great but I only need one wax jacket.

more money for the trench when it finally shows up. Any word on an ETA for that @spiermackay?

Which collar fits you best?

Are you entirely sure you got the correct picture for the one on the right (or middle, I suppose). I have a hard time telling those two images apart, except for what looks like a very slightly different angle. They seem to have all the same lines!

15.5 fits better, 16 works but there's a slight gap around the side of neck

Ok so I did mess them up. Turns out I ordered a 16 slim and not 16 extra slim and I uploaded 2 of the 15.5 slim. Edited my original post so the photos are now accurate.

This is a medium.
With a sweater the back should look better.

How does the fabric feel? Coarse and crinkly or silky smooth?
