Let's discuss: COS, Collection of Style - Page 15

I think COS is generally much better when eyed in person - I've got a 50/50 cotton/poly mix - something on paper I'd avoid like the plague because my general experience with poly fabrics has been they look awful, but it looks fantastic.

 

Regarding that gradient sweat - caught my eye in the shop the other day as looking really nice, but having a closer look it kind of looked like you had very strange sweat patches.

Missed out on the cotton hoodcoat, but the wool one is even better! If you're a 46 conceptionist, I'm gonna fight you for it... 

 

Problem is I have way to many short jackets/coats already though...

both of the hoodcoats looks good. I don't need new outerwear but can't promise anything

 

received fingerless leather gloves few days ago and they are very nice. actually super nice for the price.

what is the sizing compared to other SF approved brands? Gitman, Our Legacy. And also the pants size.

thanks

 

COS sizing is more unpredictable than OLs - I have a knit in large that fits a little slimmer than a knit in medium, and neither were intended to be worn oversized.

there's differences between how the clothes are supposed to fit such as regular, relaxed and slim fit. also size guide will help. I have bought all of my cos clothes in a size small which is my true size and shoes are pretty much true to size as well.

Most people find the trousers to run a touch big in the waist. 

I'm 34" where I wear trousers and I've got a pair of wool trousers in 48 which fit perfectly (43.5cm / 17.1" waist)

 

Shirts generally fit TTS and the t-shirts I've tried are a bit loose. Depends on model though. I have a 41-42 chest and usually take a large. I wear 41 / L / 50 in COS tops.

^^^

I echo all this advice.

wondering this-- if anyone does, please pm me.

The hoodcoat in wool.  Tried it on today and I love it. It's very casual (almost feels like a hoodie) but still minimalistic enough to work in a more dressed up way.

 

Will have to keep an eye on how many 46s the webshop has left...

Everything I am going to buy this year will be COS.

Is it possible to get the lookbook for this fall in high-res as well?

 

Also, these zip-boots look interesting:

 

^ yeah zip boots could be a winner. this is the first time i'm lived in a city with cos. do they continually release fw over the season?
