That is SS15 so there's plenty of time...

sucker for fun knitwear

So in the spirit of the recent Favorite Things competition, I thought it would be fun to pick your one favorite purchase. We have had one run of F/W and S/S, so what is your favorite thing over the past year? Only one purchase! So think hard!

For me, I am going to go with my blue linen pop-over. I absolutely love this shirt. I have worn it every single week since I got it. It is incredibly comfortable, it is different, and it makes me feel somewhat eye-talian. I know some are considered about the length (as shown in the photo below), but after the day is over, with crinkles, it really seizes up. You lose probably 3 inches in rumples. It is a great length. I could not recommend them enough!

To snag a quote from Voxy:

"I never felt ‘dressed’ in a coat-style shirt…always felt like ********* was showing."

--Ashbel Wall (the last member of the Brooks family in Brooks Brothers management, speaking of shirts that button top to bottom, a.k.a., “coat style” versus the older popover, or “pullover,” style of shirt)

I could never single out a definitive one favorite NMWA kop, but the Valve would certainly be in the running.

Great game, Newc.

I would have to go with my Cantarelli blue silk/linen Glencheck - a little eye-talian as Newc said and shockingly versatile. It's a beautiful summer blazer.

Game is not fun without pics.

You know, it is hard to single out a single kop (I actually started with my Rota trew, and re-wrote), but I figure this would be helpful for people on the fence. You are a top NMWA purchaser, have multiple Formosas, Ingleses, etc... And you put the Valve jacket up there! That is some high, high, high praise.

Interesting choice! I have slept on the Cantarelli jackets. I can't tell you how many times I have had that one in my cart, and removed it.

This is another good game.

I'll play. Tomorrow when I can post some photos from the archives easily.

I may break the rules and pick one thing from FW and one from SS. Well just see.

I think we can let that pass

Hmm. That is a good point. But OTOH, I freaking love the Valve. I can probably say I have worn it more times than any other NMWA item I have bought. Ill make my decision in the AM.

Esemplare coat is also up there.

I love outerwear.

if I'm in between sizes, what size should i go for in the goldenrod swim shorts?

also, anybody who has bought them, any comments?

I went up a size, but I'm going to go down a size on another order. The size up is fine for the most part, a couple panicked moments happened when in the waves, but they stayed on. The size up fits my rear and thighs very well, it's just a little big in the waist.

EDIT: To be clear, I was between sizes and went to the larger one.

 

[FrankCowperwood]

I bought the tomato in 34, which is my standard trouser size for a 35ish inch waist. It fits on the big side, so you might not need to size up. I am going to dry them to see if they shrink a little but I doubt they will considering the fabric.

I can measure the waist of the 34 and post later if that's helpful.

 

[conceptual 4est]

Yup, if you're between sizes, go with the lower one for Lightning Bolt shorts

 

[archibaldleach]

Favorite purchase - There are about 4-5 that are all pretty close. I'm going to go with the F/W Inis Meain pub jacket. If adding a favorite S/S is allowed, definitely the mist linen sweater.

Greg, I am somewhat tempted by the AS boots, I'm in Australia, do I need to email you to order or can I just do it off the site? Thanks.
