Got my taupe suede Heschung boots, these things are absolutely killer, and I nailed the sizing as well. FWIW, my brannock size is a narrow (between B and C width) 12.5, but I can typically get away with wearing a 12 in many shoes, and I ordered these in 11.5 and the fit is great. I'll break these out on Friday this week for the maiden voyage,


same here (10.5 narrow brannock and get waway w/ 10 in many shoes, went down to 9.5) they fit great - maiden voyage today

I think the quilted jacket in a 46 will be too big on you, sorry stitch.

We'll definitely have more, including new colorways this fall though

It's true, the sale prices are unbeatable.

And on that note, our final end-of-season sale has gone live to the public, so feel free to share this information with anyone you know that might be interested in what we offer at a steal of a price :)

mac size should = your suit jacket size. if your sweater is super chunk, you may get away with one size larger, but not my recommendation.

Seeing all the Heschung makes me sad that I got so stuck on sizing and missed out on my size. I will have to cry myself to sleep in my valstarino tonight.

Don't force it Stitch, remember the gloves.

a full size smaller from US sizing on the Heschung boot is pretty standard ?

I know the sale price is so good, but as someone who paid the full (OK, 90% with that great SF discount) price for the Mac, I have to say it's worth it. I've gotten a ton of wear out of it this season in some crazy cold weather (by the way, anyone want to come steam some ice dams off my roof?).

The point being, bide your time and your Alva Mac will come to you.

:)

Edit: Actually my kid requested that I wear "the coat with the squares on it" this morning. So the Alva Mac has a broad appeal.

Damn. I'm a 38 so mine has been long gone.

I hadn't considered it before but after seeing some more pics of it, not sure how I didn't notice it. I would have picked one up if they still had a 38 in stock.

Pub jacket arrived. It's pretty much as awesome as I expected it to be. Can't wait to wear it out this weekend.
