Should I or shouldn't I buy... (clothing item)?

Our Legacy Bomber 100% linen. Want a light bomber for the spring and haven't seen any s/s 2015 ones I like, was wondering if anyone has seen this in person. I think it's s/s 2014. Seems nice.

Where has it in stock?

Superb0bo · Feb 24, 2015

^It has some sort of pattern, just so you know.

Yea, like a floral but it looks low vis which I dig. I bought the last Large from some place over in Germany. Tried to buy a medium but they oversold it, so will wear it just a oversized.

The floral pattern makes it even better, definite yes

I have the Enfin Leve. Overall I'm very happy with it - it's nice they offer MTM, it's fairly waterproof and warm and they also let me customize it as I didn't want the zipped back panel. However, the cuffs aren't very tight compared to other bombers I've tried on, which is something to note.

Anybody have any experience with the Luigi Bianchi Montova (not LBM 1911) coats with a front-zip liner? I think the zip-up dickie looks terri-bad, but it seems like it should be totally removable.

Massimo Alba cord blazer?

nahneun · Feb 25, 2015

wide peak lapels are a bad idea on a cord jacket. pass

chupas · Feb 25, 2015

Yeah that was my concern as well. Is it just that formality of peak lapel with casual cord jacket is an awkward combination?

nahneun · Feb 25, 2015

yes, but the lapels themselves are also really ugly. the width and shape of the lapels would not be doing the jacket any favors even if were a notch lapel. or whatever the proper terms are

How likely is it that Kangaroo Guidi leather will stretch? Sizing on this might be a no go for me if it stretches 1-1.5 sizes.

Basic re-up. Grey crewneck.

Sunspel

Orlebar

Velva Sheen

Archival

Merz B

Real McCoys Loopwheel

Real McCoys

Warehouse

Things preventing it from being an easy choice: Prefer not to have raglan. Prefer loopback to fleece. Sunspel V inset is really small. Orlebar thumb holes can be great or horrible. Archival stitching seems to have too much contrast, but is the cheapest (90). Real McCoy is expensive (>200), loopwheel version looks too marled, Warehouse V looks really big. I only have experience with Sunspel, but it only lasted me ~2 years before the ribbing at the neck and wrist started to seperate from the body. I don't know the best fit for me is (most likely XL, maybe L in some). This is for everyday **** over a T or Oxford, so I don't want something boxy.
