Wings and Horns FW 09

And um.....Context has it at 16.5..........EVEN WORSE

I'm referring to the box rib cardigan...

I'm always paranoid that what I order won't fit cause everyone has different measurements! Take the MK2 for example. Context, Farinellis, Haven, and Roden all gave me different measurements.

But I am biting regardless =) If i get a winter out of it it will still be worth it...2 ...even better

That's how I used to be man. 17 I was skinny, around 160 lbs...at 19 now I'm hovering around 185-190 depending on water weight, roughly 8% bodyfat.

Yup haha. Sounds about right. Im 19, 6'0 and about 165.

I've always found context's measurements to be very accurate.

I take it you never got any fit pics up for this one? Does it fit like the model on context (the guy with the blankets)? I can't find fit pics anywhere other than Context and I don't like the fit on that guy. Please help!

No I didn't, but it fits pretty much the same as that model so it's pretty tight on me and I'd say I have a pretty small sized head. I like it, but I agree it does fit oddly on me was well. Honestly, I'd recommend looking elsewhere.

Ah that stinks as it looked nice. I appreciate the quick and honest feedback though. Thanks, man.

I just got the diamond knit henley. Fit and fabric is SWEET.

I just received my quilted chambray vest and it's fantastic! Sized down one as per Context's recommendation and the fit is spot on.

+1. Context is one of the few vendors that I've consistently been able to reproduce their measurements. Roden Gray and Farinelli often provide different measurements which I cannot reproduce myself, while Blackbird's numbers are all over the place depending on whom you get to measure it. I suspect a lot of the differences has to do with how people smooth out the fabric before measuring it while not stretching the fabric either. With many fabrics it can be a bit subjective how to properly do this. I'm not sure who does it "textbook correct", but I've practiced doing measurements a lot and Context does it just like I do and they are very consistent.

I didn't want to try and rush through 50 pages -- did they do tube scarfs again this winter? Where can I buy one? I'm in Ottawa, Ontario.
