Nice. I think it looks great and at that price point, it seems well worth it.

Just unsure of the fit and don't know if I should get a small/36r or a medium/38r. I'm afraid that the small will fit better in the chest, but the sleeve lengths will be short, and vice versa for the 38r.

Am leaning towards the 38r and getting it tailored.

Thinking about getting a duffle
There seems to be a few Gloverall reduced, but only short or mid-length. I don't want another short and am undecided on whether to go mid-length or traditional 3/4's:
Gloverall mid:

Alternatively Original Montgomery do a traditional length:

Both are Made in England with double-faced wool (I don't want a lightweight one). I think Original Montgomery were formerly Tibbets.
Any thoughts? Any other suggestions - looking for Charcoal or Navy under £200 and double-faced construction.

I don't like Gloverall duffles at all. Room14 and Urban excess have Farah Vintage duffles in sale for £165, I got myself one.

It's Band of Outsiders for $300 now, hoping to grab on sale @ mr porter. Worth it for ~150ish? The black buttons throw me off..

Anyone for random Yoox brand?

 

[hendrix]

the black buttons and the tiny collar. it's pretty bad, rather just buy some mall brand **** since most of them cut a "slim fit" now - although not that slim and you usually have to have them taken in a bit. some even have reasonably high armholes.

$150 is a decent amount to spend on a shirt, i think you can do better for that price.

but it you like it, go for it.

I agree with you, I'm distracted by the pattern and color which I do think are nice. White buttons would contrast better I think.

I've got one more for you guys..

are you looking for a GAT or a brown sneaker? if its the latter, get the real deal in a better color, yo

 

[sciphiyem]

I've wanted to grab a pair of GATs, but I don't love the white ones. Also was looking for a brown sneak. what's the real deal one?

then it sounds like it should work out for you

 

[sciphiyem]

cool. still have to wait for sale time. i'm still interested in whatever the 'real deal' version of these are. what are they?

 

[NAMOR]

my gats are white/gray. its iconic imo. I also like the gray/black ones. I wouldnt purchase a brown pair unless I already had both of those

 

[sciphiyem]

i hear ya. I need to try these on properly somewhere and see if I like. thx for the tips
