Just putting out an interest check, I have a Large BNWT Stark in Navy. I'm not really looking to sell (will entertain offers), but will possibly trade for new or near new Engineered Garments outerwear. Shoot me a PM if you are interested

Just got my stark. Even with a thin buttoned shirt underneath it immediately started to bother me. Anybody tried any of the wool softening methods on one yet?

Mine was itchy at first too, but give it a few wears and it'll soften up

Aight, my Stark got here. I was slightly concerned it would be too scratchy since it's virgin wool. It struck me less as scratchy than simply coarse and not necessarily soft. I was also surprised by the heft of the thing and the weave is even more impressive looking in person. Pretty awesome stuff.

As I feared though, it's pretty slim. I went with the L and only after the fact did I notice the chest measurement of 41" in the L.

I'm 6'3", 215, 45" chest and the L fits thusly. This is going back regardless, but given how snug the L is, is the XL likely to fit me or am I relegated to XXL?

Do you normally order size L stuff? I wouldn't think a 45 chest would be a large in much of anything. I'm 50 lbs lighter and 6" smaller in the chest and I can almost wear a large (but a M is perfect.)

If you like a slim fit and want to get it perfect...maaaaybe a XL would work, but you might have to return it for a XXL. If you want to play it safe, go for an XXL because a slightly oversized sweater will always be better than an undersized one.

Yeah, I'm a L in pretty much everything, but I tend to wear stuff slightly slim though (eg, wear 44 suit).

Leaning towards an XL...I'd feel kinda weird having a double X anything in my closet. :-x
