Oh, I plan on kopping that Eidos donegal SB coat very soon. It's just hard for me to pass up a badass coat. I'm considering Juncus, and that ts(s) looks promising as well.

Will the LBM coats be as slim as last year's? Thanks again, Kyle.

I was messing around with outfits the other night and took this pic with the Sage de Cret pants:

Kyle/Greg/David, I'm having inappropriate thoughts about that camel DB casentino that you seem to still have in stock. Think it would fit me? Somehow I'm drawing a blank when looking at the measurements. Any plans for more of them this winter?

54 would probably fit you in the shoulders, esp if you are planning on wearing a knit underneath. I can take a pic of me wearing it on Monday if you want.

Love'em. It's an instakop except...how can one wear these bad ass coats when not wearing a suit? (I just don't get to wear suits nearly as often as I'd like.) I can pull it off with the SB donegal coat (which I've yet to kop), but not sure how to do this one.

Sorry if it's a stupid question.

EDIT: by "not wearing a suit", I'm also including not wearing a sport coat or a tie. (I find a sportcoat without a tie is as far as I can push at work without looking out of place.)

I'm in a similar position in that I don't wear suits or even SC's that often, so cannot justify a super dressy coat that I'd wear even less. That said, I'd love to have a coat that will look presentable over a suit but also casual enough to wear Kyle-style. Any suggestions among current or upcoming stuffs?

The LBM coats from last year can do both.

 

[Asian Afro]

Eidos's Donegal coat can do it this year.

also casual enough to wear Kyle-style.

"Kyle-style" sounds very memeable.

Greg! Greg! A l'aide!
Is the Juncus warmer than the Algae? (And should I own both?)
I didn't care for it at first, but your fit pictures are very convincing.

Some recent Formosa MTO Appreciation, featuring Dolly Drapers. Dahlia Delfino and Foxy Flannel. Viewer discretion is advised:

Items of note: Color and texture of Fox Flannel color is hard to capture. It's a very greyish blue, and it's awsm! Also, note that it's more of a 3 roll 2 1/2, which gives it a very different look from the others. I like, not least which for variety's sake. Gun check colors are more understated than some previous photos have depicted, particularly the overcheck, which I attempted to capture.

Overall very impressed.

Looking forward to some real fits after a trip to the tailor.

^ Nice. More Formosa MTOs need to happen.

Can Formosa shorten the sleeve length as part of MTO, or is that considered a pattern change?

 

[gdl203]

The sleeve length get tailored to the customer's exact arm measurement by the alteration tailor who will finish them with buttons, so I'm not sure there's any benefit to have a pre-shortened sleeve from the bench.

They are very different coats - in length, style, color palette, etc... I think you see where I'm going with this...

The Juncus uses a heavier wool and I think that it is more isolated than the Algae - so despite being shorter I'd say that it is probably warmer.

Sorry, I thought you were talking about the group MTO's as allowing for changes. Never mind.
