Love the Merola. I have 20 yo+ cheap pairs all over the house, but somehow I'll lose one of these in the first season.

Great pic. All of you guys who post cool pictures here, take a moment to post them on our site's Gallery section as well. First, it helps us help other people see the gear in context. Second, you can win some store credit every month. Don't let @in stitches win every time! ;)

Yeah I think I just lost my new Merola after less than one week. Couldn't find them today after looking all over. Wore them once. :fu: :censored: :brick:

I am looking at the measurements of the classic Aran sweaters... there sure is a small jump between the small and medium chest size, and a very large jump in the medium and large chest size.

which one? I have the Aran buttoned neck (charcoal/anthracite ?) and the NMWA special edition jacket in Small if you like?

I just changed my phrasing. It was very confusing at first. Just looking at picking up some more knitwear, which I seem to be wearing very frequently this fall / winter.

I am kind of between sizes on some of their pieces, unfortunately.

got it...from my experience with IM items I tried in Small
- Buttoned Neck is cut trimmer along chest/body and with longer sleeves and body length
- Special jacket/cardigan sleeves and length are shorter
- Bulls wool is a lot more generous in chest/waist and longer sleeves

Aran Buttoned Neck - Aran NMWA jacket (buttoned) - Bulls Wool ==> (all in Small)
Chest =- 19.5 - 20 - 40.23
BOC = 25.35 - 25 - 25.18
Sleeves from BOC/from pit = 31.5/18 - 29.5/17 - 32/18.25
Shoulder seams - 16 - 17 - 16.15

Thanks--the site has some measurements, I am wondering if I can swing the Large, or whether I am a better fit for the medium. I may just buy both :D.

That is very interesting. I really like that special jacket too...

@Newcomer I edited my post with measurements for Small...you may be able to extrapolate your size or ask Greg/Kyle for recos...The NMWA special edition jacket is gold..I've been wearing the sh%% out the last few days, great for layering

Dirnelli digs the chalk flannel....just trying to help this get off the ground
WOWOWOW.

This fit is top notch. Love the burgundy tie with the navy chalk stripe.

Very sharp...

Come on guys...lets get the chalk stripe orders going!

Really? Yeah, I think it is really, really cool. Hmm, based upon my extrapolations, I think I'll just take my normal medium. I have four IM's in Medium, and they all fit a little differently haha.

The gap from medium to large is just rather large.

Thanks for the help guys, I appreciate it.

Probably kop at some point prior to the end of the week.

Also, uploaded a ton of pics to the Gallery. On guard, stitchy!
