Fall 2014 collection that one is.
This is the current season one I saw at The Loit, happens to be on sale at the moment too if it floats your boat - http://www.theloit.com/product/productDetail?productNo=11056_5303
I just tried the navy version today. Same experience here. I usually am a 48. The 50 was way better around the arm area (but still snug) while not looking too roomy around the body. With the 48 I couldn't do any layering. Material and weight are quite nice I think and comparable to the Acne GarretHi guys, new here...
I love Ami and picked up the Black two button overcoat - The Wool / Poly version (not the more expensive cashmere one) - love it but the 46 (my true to size) was super tight around the arms (not that I work out or anything) and it looked a bit too tailored and it was a pain to layer any jumpers underneath, so exchanged for the 48 which is still pretty tight around the arms, but is more suitable... however it's a little unflattering and it's got a lot of space around the body. Anyone else had similar experiences?
May take it to the tailors
Anyone picked up their sweaters? How is it?
I have three, 2 from the present season, and have had my hands on at least two others. I'd say they're pretty decent quality. Certainly better than J Crew or the like. Not worth $3-400, but if you can pick them up for $150 and under, as I have, it's worth it.
The one exception may be the cardigan from the present season: from having had it in my hands, it just seems cheaper and the merino flimsier than even their lightweight basic merino crew (which is tightly knit, good hem and cuffs).
Also be aware that they have a boat-load of different variations of their sweaters - even the same model can be made with different materials depending on the color.
Finally, be wary of any of the oversized, drop-shoulder models, unless that's what you're going for.
Where's the consistency? Did you size up for any of your sweaters?
Has anybody tried the current season cords?
I bought a few pairs last winter but the rise was comically short. I tried sizing up and it just made the crotch bunch up super awkwardly since the rise was still short but the thighs were now too baggy.
It seems like there was a newer cut for the cords this season (similar to the carrot fit) but I only saw it at Matches (and they have no more Large's).
After looking at the AMI webshop I'm starting to wonder if the pair on Matches was actually the "street fit jeans" in corduroy here: https://www.amiparis.com/us/shopping/street-fit-jeans-11372985?StoreId=9846
(btw I had no idea they brought back the street fit cut).
Does anybody know if that's the case? or if this seasons cords are cut different/better with a higher rise?
Can't speak to Lanvin coats but I approve of ami for fit and weight.
what size do you wear and does this fit true to size or do you have to size up, I'm thinking about purchase one online I wear size medium but thinking on going large what do you think
