Just this morning I was like...I have way too much casual outerwear...and yet now it's not even happy hour and I'm already planning on buying the Eidos linen field jacket and another Schneider coat....:revolve:


Every day, at the same time I think I have too much outerwear and yet not nearly enough. It is truly my weak spot.

Clover looks great, Frank. My mom actually liked that piece so much she got one for herself. Here she is wearing it while holding my nephew:

Thank you!

This is great and I like the insouciance with which she combines designer knit wear and small child.

That's the best I've seen it look.


:butbut:


(kidding...)

I will also say that Oliver Spencer is excellent. Kessock navy Solms arrived as well. Turns out I may be a size 44 in OS... Seems to fit well, particularly as a sort of outerwear piece. I like turning the collar up and buttoning it all the way to the top.

Photos later.

@FrankCowperwood

I wrote that in response to your post!

What size is your Clover? How is it sized relative to the Roman sweater (e.g., same size in both?)?

Ryden, It's waaaay too big. You should definitely return it.



(Size 6 right? Quietly completes email notification option)

Size 5, same as Roman sweater. The shoulders and arms are snug, but since they are a knit that's fine. I assume they may even stretch a little.

I think the trick with this is getting the close fit of the knit sleeves and the square cut of the body balanced out... Pretty much what Rydenfan said earlier.
