Isaora Tech 3-Layer M65.
In L. I'm usually an M. 150 shipped. I need a cool lightweight jacket.

I've ordered a jacket from this season and all I can say is that the quality is beyond poor. Plastic zippers that jam all the time, the sewing is not very well done and in the neck area there seems to be some excessive glue on the outside which makes my chin itch a lot.
Also their stuff is already a bit oversized so you'd be better off with your true size.

I'd recommend just buying an arcteryx on ebay or somewhere else instead.

Not exactly flattering, the pockets seem odd..


True I didn't notice the pockets until I posted it here. I tried asking for a recommendation in the Ulitimate Noob Thread but the only suggestion I got was Zara, and I'm looking to get something a bit better, so can one of you help out? Looking for a gray, thick, long-ish/drapey cardigan in the $200-$250 range.

Look around for a schneider on B&S/Rakuten/Yahoo!jp, I got mine for around that, on a budget, uniqlo lambswool ones are also pretty great.

Yeah, I just bought a Schneider off buy and sell for 2-something. Thanks tonio :)


Does the collar button on the Damir a la rick exploder jackets? Feel like it would just flap around kinda awkwardly when walking around, and belt just seems like an afterthought.

I'm not 100% sure but I don't think it buttons around the neck.
I'm not sure if I want a tailored overcoat or a drapey one :/

thoughts on fit?

snug in shoulders/neck, but not really bad.

wrinkles are due to fabric.

"not really bad" is a pretty crappy criterion, though... agree re super snug shoulders - would be difficult to reach for stuff. i dunno tegs, if you do any kind of lifting you're gunna burst outta that thing. cut doesn't seem your style




sheeit i never noticed those knee things on the ploier pants; now taking them off the consider pile

range of motion is actually totally fine. and haha, I don't think lifting is going to be a problem.

no this is much nicer and looks less like table cloths and rugs adorning my abode

andrew sarti is ok not worth the price for what it is tho, half the size of the ss and 2x as costly the speckled color isn't as nice in person

The shirt itself looks great...it could just be my small phone screen, but the cut, with the slim front and generous back, almost looks like it's on backwards(?). If you can move around fine, it looks nice, I'd get it.
