This may have been answered before, but I don't know what terms I can use to search...this has been low-key bugging me for some time. Is there a reason that the jackets (and to an extent, the shirts and bottoms) bounce between the S-M-L-XL sizing notation and numerical sizing (48-50-52)? Are there different lines within the label involved? Does it have to do with the manufacturing country? I originally assumed the numbers were for more "formal" pieces and the letters where for more "casual/sporty". Nope.
Good question. The blazers/suits I have are all numeric sizes, but the non-blazer jackets (moto, field jacket, etc) I have are S-M-L. Maybe that's the distinction? Although now that I think of it, I have one nylon field/rain jacket that is numeric.
I know Dries often gets pretty heavily discounted during sale seasons and such.. where do you guys usually buy dries below retail? Also, is the flagship store in Antwerp worth the visit from Amsterdam? I'll be there for 6 days this summer and was considering making a day trip.
I think all the online retailers have sales usually around January and July. Yoox gets old stock sporadically and is sometimes marked down a lot. I would definitely check out the Antwerp shop -- sale time or not.
