I love everything about the Carrara cut except for the shirt sleeve shoulders!

Did your jacket come out with shirt sleeve and soft shoulder?

I find the Carrara shoulder more classic and less shirt sleeve like than No Man’s previous tailoring options (Formosa and Eidos) and much more classic (less shirty) than The Armoury’s Ring Jacket models.

I’ll see if I can get some side by side pics over the holiday break.

Mine came with the shirt sleeve but I don’t care for the look on heavy tweeds or suits.

Blustery in Dublin. Checked out Dubarry (pricier Barbour basically). Nice stuff but didn’t need anything. Walked by the store I linked to earlier and got my daughter a nice reversible Canali winter scarf.

Im remembering what I do not care for during this season…Another notch for quality over quantity.

Also do not recommend babies during winter around the holidays… we got Thanksgiving, a birthday, a week later christmas, new years, and then a birthday shortly after…. I haven’t survived the first round of this yet and I am already exhausted. This is for the rest of my life you say? I need another drink.

Kind of a mini NMWA. I tried on the Beams brown check overcoat that Greg had but the cut isn’t right for me.

Interesting, I've found the opposite, though that only speaks to Ring's Model 3 and NM's RTW Carrara fits.
Obviously, nobody is confusing either model for having roped shoulders, but I find (at least on my frame), that NM's seems more poofy/shirt shouldery than Ring's, which presents a (very) slight appearance of roping.
