That outerwear lineup is incredible. Bets on which sells out first?

Just received my latest NMWA package including the AFB LBM DB Overcoat. It is extremely beautiful and the AFB shade which is just brighter than a true navy really makes it a unique and wonderful piece. Once again Greg was spot on with sizing as well.

Thanks guys.

I was looking at that. Is it a 3/4-length overcoat or full length?

If you would do a buy of one each of the Valstar in size 44 I would buy all of them

I'm pretty sure you wouldn't and we wouldn't want to hold you to such a promise.

That said, the Harrington jackets fit small for the size. You may want to try 46

yeah, the Eidos collection is absolutely killer.

i love the inherent optimism of a 21oz tweed overcoat (which presumes you're already wearing a sportcoat underneath that's itself 10-15oz, or a sweater). "what global warming?"

i still haven't worn the faux-tweed navy donegal herringbone i snagged from last winter's collection and here i am drooling over the gun club…

great work as always Antonio (and Greg to ordering such incredible pieces)

Take the same size as your Eidos suit size - they are sized to nest nicely on top of the same size jacket

Serious question, I am not trying to be an a**hole. Why offer Fall/Winter SCs with no lining? I have seen it at multiple places not just NMWA, so I feel like I am missing something. Are most guys layering sweaters under? Or is it that outside you will most likely have a coat on and then inside you won't overheat?

I'm assuming 21oz isn't considered very thick? That Green Ulster DB looks lovely but I'm trying to figure out how warm/cold I'll be in it wearing a sportcoat or sweater. Chicago winters can get damp and cold but thankfully I drive to work...

Also I don't own any Eidos jackets but I'm typically a 38R in all my suits/jackets. I assume I'd take the same?

Bemberg lining provides virtually zero insulation unless the outer fabric is an open weave, so it just comes down to preferences and stylistic decisions. It feels different on the body than a lined jacket. We typically do lined suits and unlined sport coats with Eidos (Antonio would do everything unlined) - it adds a little variety.
