Let's discuss: COS, Collection of Style

[slstr]

Anybody pick up the deep round neck tees lately? Any thoughts on fit/quality would be awesome tia.

Really want to but when I try to put them in my basket on the site it just... doesn't work. Anyone else having this problem? Been meaning to email them about it.

^^^ No problems with the site for me.

The few things i bought from the sale arrived last week. The cotton linen blend knit was a bit disappointing.., there a hole near the shoulder and the fit was kinda crappy..., and if i'm being picky it was only 9% linen or something. The cotton linen oversized shirt is maybe the best thing i've bought from them though - perfect! Really nice crinkly material and the hidden placket looks great (and a bargain at £30!). Kinda sums up my experience with cos... sometimes really impressed / sometimes really underwhelmed.

Another COS order arrived yesterday and I decided to keep both items. Pretty nice fabrics.

Same thing. They're sold out.

I just picked up this jumper from the store today. I saw it on their website, and thought it looked pretty nice (if a little plain.) It's about a third of each alpaca, wool and polyester. Perfectly fills my need for a basic medium weight knit to fit over a heattech, and under my red TOJ DR next Winter. I'm lucky enough to get further discount on it because I work in the same shopping centre, and I know the guys who work in the store, so it only cost me £26 instead of RRP £60.

Alright, thanks for the info. Just ordered the wool blend tee in size large. It may be too short though, since I like most of my tops 27-28 long.

Got the wool blend t-shirt earlier today. Gonna return it.

The cut was not what I expected. The arms and body are the same piece of fabric, basically making the tee a two panel (front piece and back piece) construction which are cut out to the shape of a t-shirt. It was too boxy on me. Didn't take measurements but I guess 22 chest and 26ish length on a size L. Fabric was ok, a little thin.

god damn their shipping is slow. ordered last friday and my packet still hasnt arrived to finland.

 

[slstr]

Yeah. Also returned stuff about two weeks ago and nothing yet...

 

[rublev]

They're pretty bad. I waited a week for my last package to arrive here in the UK. Returning is even worse - i've had to wait the full 30 whatever days for a refund.

I think they've changed from Hermes to DPD, well certainly for parcels sent to the UK, so could be a reason for the slowness. However, I know since the sale, they've been VERY slow in dispatching items, due to the influx of orders. I waited nearly a week for them to dispatch an order, let alone a week for it to get to me in the UK !

 

[rublev]

DPD are much quicker than Hermes, or at least in my experience. It's getting the package to the courier / dispatching that they're usually slow at. I made an order on a Thursday and it wasn't shipped until the next Wednesday. I tracked it and it arrived in the UK late that night, and was delivered the next morning. Hermes would usually take another 3 days.





Layered drawstring shirt



Relaxed cotton trousers



Leather sleeve sweatshirt



Cotton leisure trousers

Anyone seen any of these in the flesh? I've got free shipping credit and i'm tempted by the shirt and one of trousers. Leather sweat looks nice but kinda warm for summer i'd imagine...

 

[hipster]

dpd here is the ******* worst. you cant request them to deliver the package at a certain time, they just say "yeah your package will be delievered somewhere between 8am-5pm", and their pickup facility is in middle of nowhere 20min drive away.

 

[rublev]

I think it all depends on where you are in the country and who your drivers are. From my experience DPD have been the best courier. Hermes and City Link are awful.

Really want to try out the cotton leisure trousers and relaxed cotton trousers but I haven't made it to a store yet, will try to report back when I do...
