@gdl203 Speaking of other field jackets, the Valstar is gorgeous as well. The measurements seem a more roomy than the Eidos - if I decide to give it a shot, would you recommend I try a 50 or 52?

Measurements may seem roomier but the Eidos ones are much thicker so take that into consideration. I find the Valstar to fit actually closer to the body than the Eidos in the same size. I'd recommend 52

Is that a Begg or SS scarf?

The one featured on the mannequin with the Valstar field jacket? That is a Suzusan baby alpaca shawl and it is amazing

@gdl203 how do the green and grey suede Valstar harringtons fit? TTS? I remember there were some sizing issues with some Valstar models, especially that awesome green summer jacket

I find them to fit a full size smaller than tagged - like most Valstar for me. I need a 54 in the Harrington - and even then, the sleeves are barely long enough for me (I'm 6' 2" so that happens often for regular length RTW garments). I actually like the fit of 54 for all the Valstar jackets this season - noting that the leather bomber fits a little roomier in that same size, while the Harrington & Valstarino are slimmer cut.

@gdl203 Does that apply to the Valstar field jacket as well? Measurements look like I'd take my 'usual' euro size.
I can wear the 52 in the field jacket but it doesn't leave much room for layering (i.e. couldn't wear it on top of a jacket) and is slightly tight across the back. I like the roomier fit of the 54 for myself better. So, if you're looking for a slim fit, your usual Euro size should work well.

Gosh I wish. 50-52, more likely (both in pants and in jacket). I could probably get away with a large 48 though.
