Tried on the Cameraman in a 50 today at Context...what an awesome coat, especially in that color. Unfortunately even with the flash sale it's out of my league...but if I had the money it would be mine.

The store won't give refunds so it's ANOTHER Cameraman for me, they only have the sky blue and the orange so I've gone for the orange.
I can't really justify having two Cameraman jackets but with having a brown and an orange they should look totally different.



What's your height, weight and chest size?

I'm 5' 9", 200 lbs and I guess my chest size is 40", possibly a 42". My problem is short arms so 42" is always a no-no unless I am prepared to get the sleeves tailored.

Is that true of everything or just jackets? Maybe it's me but I have the same boots, sneakers, polo's, hoodies in different colours.

I think L=50, and I'm a 48 or 50, depending on the garment. I haven't tried any of the shirts, though. That clip jacket is tempting as well...

Some of those nc pieces on us sites are atrociously priced. Recent prices here: cm's are going for a little over 500gpb and everest's just over 800gpb. Cheapest ever CM I've seen was at a designer sale in truman brewery for 300 in November.

still wanting this lightweight CM:
