Sizing guidance

As a general rule, we caution anyone who has not had the chance to try on the Sartoria Formosa cut and size it properly, to order anything made to order. That said, if you want to go ahead and are not sure of your size, here is some general guidance & measurements. In addition, we strongly suggest to engage in a sizing discussion here or in the No Man affiliate thread with other Formosa customers, as you will surely be able to get good feedback from others with a similar build

Pre-Order Pricing



We are offering a special price for pre-orders, through a 15% coupon (works only on these pre-orders) : enter PREORDER15 at checkout.

Note that the prices paid here for pre-orders are 50% of the total price. The balance is due when the garment is ready to ship.



Pre-Order Window



Pre-orders are open this week only. After that, we will send the group order to Sartoria Formosa so that they can start procuring fabric and cutting.


Delivery Window


The garments are expected to be finished and delivered to us throughout the month of September. We will endeavour to provide timing update as the production process advances.

Should probably change this to a general Formosa GMTO/pre-order page rather than just fall/winter, so we can start our GMTOs on here for future reference

Or... Greg can just start another thread. The idea is to have on thread per preorder round so that things don't get muddy.

Is a 34S (or even a 32S) something that's available but not carried on the site?

I'm mostly interested in the navy nailhead but I guess it's more of a general question. And if those sizes do exist, measurements would be great.

Cheers!

If you mean a Euro 44 Short, then yes it is possible by pre-order or MTO, and a customer has ordered that size before. We unfortunately do not stock that size so we do not have measurements - but using the sizing grid here should help you extrapolate 44

Don't think that's greg (if you're talking about the brughiera). Prince of wales is amazing, but IDK if my swag levels are high enough to wear it.

No I mean the marled holland and sherry swatch

So, to be clear, my sport coat is not exactly the same fabric (mine is a Dormeuil), but I wear that jacket so often that I wanted to promote that color/pattern combo to you guys. The SHerry Tweed is the very best comparable swatch I could find - frankly better than my own
