Rehomed from the archive sale. Absolute lunatic purchase, given my terrain, but it is so flipping cool.
Fear not, gents, I shall not pair this with shorts.

I received my William Lockie chunky cardigan the other day, however sizing doesn't match. There is no size info anywhere on the cardigan's tags, only on the detachable tag and I suspect it was misplaced 🤷
I ordered size S and it should have 41 inch chest, however my cardigan measured to 44 inches, which is size L.
Support, unfortunately, didn't reply to me.
I am not sure if I should exchange it for an XS or this was indeed a mess up with sizing tag and XS will be too small for me.
Can anyone with WL cardigan please measure if their chest measurements match website?
In case of use, my size medium measures around / just under 22 inches across (so ~44 inches in total). I would consider it a fairly TTS fit for a shawl cardigan, slightly slouchy but certainly not sloppy / oversized.

Did anyone handle both Drake's and Kaptain Sunshine traveller coats? I am wondering which one is heavier or thicker.

There is basically no shrinkage that I can see or feel. But for me, 2 is already a touch oversized in just the right way, so I'm not as sensitized to it.

I love them too! The colors are really gorgeous. Blurhms hasn't done me wrong once. Great-feeling to wear.
Thank you! just what I was hoping to hear.

Yes. The KS navy verison this year was on par with the thickness of the Drake's from my recollection. The KS windowpane was definitely lighter with more drape than the navy, not sure about previous years. My biggest takeway was the length, Drake's being longer.

The current wool used by KS for the traveller seems much lighter than the heavy melton used in years past. They also got rid of the leg straps and interior pocket, which is disappointing

I definitely agree that it is disappointing that they are using a lighter Melton.

However, did anyone actually use leg straps? I never have.

I use them from time to time. It's just a cool detail that sets it apart. Like a chronograph on a watch - how often to you actually use it?
